Iron Maiden Iron Maiden have announced more details of their forthcoming arena tour.

The UK leg of the 'Final Frontier World Tour' will see Dragonforce, Airborne and Trivium play shows across the country with the heavy metal legends.

Australian rockers Airborne get the biggest run, supporting on all but three of the dates. Dragonforce and Trivium head up the remaining shows.

Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris said of the tour: "We intend to take (our) full stadium show into the UK arenas and fit everything we possibly can into each venue. The set list will be different to this year's tour. Of course we will play more songs from the new album and some other recent material, but we intend to include a healthy dose of older fan favourites too for those who haven't seen us before, plus a spectacular light show and stage set, not forgetting, of course... Eddie!"
