Matthews, Maiden Coming to Jiffy Lube Live

Posted

Live Nation announced Dave Matthews Band and Iron Maiden will appear at Jiffy Lube Live this summer.

Dave Matthews Band returns to the road this summer after taking a break from their usual summer touring schedule with an extensive North American tour, which lands in Bristow on June 16, 2012. Tickets for their return to Jiffy Lube Live will go on sale on March 9, at 10:00 a.m. This time out, guitarist Gary Clark, Jr. will open for the band.

According to Live Nation, the band recently began work on a new album to follow-up the Platinum-certified Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King(RCA), which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in 2009. The album will be released later this year.

Heavy metal band Iron Maiden will bring their "Maiden England World Tour" stateside to Jiffy Lube Live on Saturday, June 30. They will be joined by rock legend Alice Cooper.

"Maiden England" marks the third chapter in their "History of Iron Maiden" tours. The band will mirror the production and content of their original 1988 concert video of the same name, shot on the “Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tour."

Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson said, “We have great fun playing the History of Maiden Tours because it gives us an opportunity between new albums to go out and play songs from our earlier catalogue."

This tour marks the band's most extensive visit to North America in many years and includes concerts in a number of cities the band has not played in a very long time.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 2 at 10:00 a.m. at LiveNation.com or charge by phone (800) 745-3000.
