Please be true.
According to Israel Hayom, British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN are in talks to perform in Israel next year. The band is said to be planning a concert at Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium in late May.
If the show does happen, it will mark IRON MAIDEN‘s first appearance in in the Jewish state in 25 years. MAIDEN previously played three shows in Israel in September 1995 during “The X Factor” tour, featuring Blaze Bayley on vocals instead of Bruce Dickinson.
Last December, Dickinson appeared in Tel Aviv as part of his spoken-word tour, presenting his autobiography, “What Does This Button Do?” , sharing stories from his childhood, unruly teenage years and his career as a musician of one of the most successful rock bands in history.
And as a reminder, vocalist Bruce Dickinson is pretty awesome.
In 2006 he flew 200 British citizens out of Lebanon during Israel’s war with Hezbollah, and in 2007 he flew the Rangers soccer team to a match against Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.
