International rockers Iron Maiden were headed back to the UAE following the success of their "Somewhere In Time" tour.
Their Dubai gig marks the first date in the fourth and final leg of their phenomenally successful tour.
The band first performed in the region at the Dubai Rock Festival, so are looking for to returning to the desert!
"We had a terrific time in Dubai when we played at Desert Rock Festival a couple of years ago. It seemed there were fans there from all over the Middle East and even farther afield and it felt like a very special occasion. So when we decided to take out Ed Force One again early next year we all thought that Dubai would be a great place to start," said the band's founding member Steve Harris.
They were performed at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on February 13, 2009.
Taking off in early February Maiden will make their first appearances in New Zealand for 16 years via Dubai and Bangalore followed by the long haul journey for a return to Mexico in some even larger venues and then finishing with an extended run through Central and South America to include countries and cities they have not visited before.
