'Early' Iron Maiden for Reading/Leeds
19 March 2005
Iron Maiden are set
to headline Reading for the first time since 1982, however their stage set and choice of material may be familiar
to fans who were there the first time around.
The band will only be playing material from their first four albums and
the stage set will also reflect the early years of their live shows.
Singer Bruce Dickinson told Metal Hammer
magazine: "This will be back to the full on metal spectacular. We've always put everything, physically and mentally, into
our stage shows and this will be no exception. People are back and into real live music now and we want to make sure
that the Maiden shows are never surpassed and an incredable experience for everyone there!"
It is believed Iron
Maiden will close Reading Festival on the Sunday after playing at Leeds on the Saturday night. It should be
confirmed on Monday night at the launch of both festivals. Foo Fighters and Pixies
are believed to be the other two headliners.
Reading Festival 2005 takes place at Little
Johns Farm, Reading, while Leeds Festival 2005 happens at Bramham Park, Leeds, both from 26-28 August.
