Belgrade Ready to "Up The Irons" Once Again

The Belgrade Arena will be flooded with mullets, bullet belts and sleeveless denim jackets on February 10, as the city welcomes the heavy metal world’s most popular touring attraction, British legends Iron Maiden.

Though the last show in 2007 was filled to the brim with headbangers coming from all over the region to worship at the iron throne of Maiden, many complained of the location, the Belgrade Fair’s main hall, which possibly does not have the proper acoustics and presentation to host such a spectacle.
Thankfully, Iron Maiden will be playing the state-of-the-art Belgrade Arena this time around, which has hosted some of the largest names in rock music over the last several years and proven to be an exceptional venue from both an audio and visual stand point.
The added bonus this time around is that while Maiden were promoting songs from their newest album on the previous tour that came through Serbia - which no one wants to hear, let’s be frank - this time, the throw-back Somewhere Back in Time World Tour will be gracing Belgrade.
The band will only be playing classic material from albums released between 1984 and 1992 and the stage will be a modern replica of the Ancient Egyptian-themed set that was used during the 1984 Powerslave tour.
Further significance is given to the show by the fact that Iron Maiden began touring for its 1986 album Somewhere in Time, which the new tour is named after, right here in Belgrade.
Most of the VIP and up-close fan tickets have been sold, with reports that over 15,000 tickets are gone already, so if you want to join the faithful at the Belgrade Arena, be sure to get your ticket and your leather pants back from the clean-ers in time.
