La noticia viene cobrando fuerza debido al anuncio que los Iron Maiden volverán a girar por Latinoamerica en marzo de 2009. El año pasado nos quedamos con los crespos hechos al no poder conseguir un cupo. Sin embargo hoy se presenta una posibilidad perfecta para que la doncella britanica toque en algunas plazas que quedaron fuera de ruta aquella vez, entre ellas, nuestra Lima. Iron Maiden volverá con la gira "Somewhere Back In Time" que rememora aquellos viejos buenos tiempos de los albumes capitales "The Number Of The Beast", "Piece Of Mind", "Powerslave" y "Live After Death" incluyendo además canciones recientes y una parafernalia visual similar a la que se usó durante esa época.
En la página web de la banda acaba de aparecer una nota que magnifica las expectativas dando a entender sutilmente que el tour "cruzará antiguas ruinas, la jungla amazónica, los andes y la mitad del mundo". Vayan sacando sus conclusiones, está más claro que el agua. Por lo pronto ya están confirmadas las presentaciones en Colombia, Chile y Venezuela y esperamos que dentro de pocos días haya una pronunciación oficial de algún promotor nacional.
A continuación el texto que publicó Iron Maiden hace pocos dias en su página web y que está dirigida a los promotores y fans sudamericanos:
First 3 Latin America dates announced
Published: November 22, 2008
From our Latin America Promoters Evenpro Press Release...
We have no doubt whatsoever that IRON MAIDEN is special to Latin America and Latin America is special to IRON MAIDEN. Allow us to explain...
What was achieved by both the band and their fans earlier this year in Latin America was unheard of ... over 250,000 tickets were sold in less than a week, thus setting box office records across the region. Within an 18 day time period the band covered 7 countries, played 9 concerts and flew over 15,000 miles (25,500 kilometers). No artist, no band had ever done this before. Period. With their incredible, high energy shows selling out well in advance and the insane reaction from their fans to this very classic and timeless show...Somewhere Back in Time, the question at the end of the tour was, "Should we do it again?".
And the answer from all sides was... DAMN RIGHT WE DO IT AGAIN! ... and along with returning to some of our favourite places let's play some other cities and countries too.
So in 2009 IRON MAIDEN and their fans will once again make rock and roll history in Latin America by breaking some rules, setting new records, and going to places that are normally off the usual touring route. MAIDEN will embrace Latin America like none have before. This tour will cross ancient ruins, the Amazon Jungle, The Andes and the Middle of the World! MAIDEN will revisit cities played in 2008 in even bigger venues and a rev-ed up show full of surprises. And together with their fans they will celebrate the end of their incredible SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME TOUR.
We are proud & honored to be a part of this adventure...again! Let's get to work and have some fun! Up the Irons!
