Merchandise Section added to Maiden-World
Posted Tuesday 1st April 2008In our continuing quest to bring you all of the best and complete information on Iron Maiden, we have today launched our merchandise section, containing all of the information we can gather on items such as Iron Maiden T-Shirts. Of course as with every database, the 20 year history of the band makes having information on every single item produced and sold practically impossible to do by hand, but we will work hard over the coming months and years to build a large and somewhat concise database.
if you have any items that aren't currently listed in any of the sections or would like to suggest one we are missing, then simply head on over to the contact form and send us the information so we can get back to you after adding it to our lists. To find all of the latest additions, head on over to our new pages now.

EMI Japan post video preview of Maiden's Tokyo 2008 Concert
Posted Saturday 29th March 2008
EMI Japan, Iron Maiden's record label, have recently put up a streaming video of their 16th of February gig at the Messe in Tokyo. The video contains the intro to the concert (Doctor Doctor) and the first two tracks, it is also pro shot, but only from a single camera. It's also released pre-editing which means that it is yet to be mixed with other camera angles/shots, which has prompted speculation as to whether the full video of the concert will be made available as a professional release at a point in the future.
We at Maiden-World have saved the stream so you can download the video for yourself, especially in case the stream goes down or expires at any point, to do so simply click here and save the file to your computer.
'Somewhere Back in Time' Concert DVD in the Works?
Posted Wednesday 19th March 2008After the 16th of February, when the concert at the Messe in Tokyo was filmed, there have been rumours flying around the internet about the possibility of Iron Maiden producing a DVD (much like the 2005 Death on the Road release). Although this would not be suprising after many recent video launches from the band, we here at Maiden-World would say the most likely explanation for that at the current time would be for any special editions of the 'Somewhere Back in Time' album (such as the 2 Disc Picture CD) which would include a DVD with footage, although if the band believe it to be possible we may be seeing a new full length concert video commercially released, most likely towards the end of this year or Christmas time.
Of course we will keep you updated if there are any announcements regarding this possibility and as time goes by and the tour progresses, we will keep an eye out to see if any other dates are recorded in order for their footage to be included.
Canadian 'Somewhere Back in Time' Tour Dates Announced
Posted Tuesday 18th March 2008During their concert on the 16th of March at a full house Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Iron Maiden announced another five dates to add to this year's world tour in that country, to the great enthusiasm of fans who attended the concert and those who couldn't get tickets alike.
For all of these shows, the tickets will go on sale at the same time, Friday the 28th of March, however as expected there will be a pre-sale available for those of you who are signed up to the IMFC (Iron Maiden Fan Club) meaning you can get your hands on them on the 25th instead, which is the Tuesday. All shows in Canada have the 'First to the Stage Barrier' which is early admission for a select group of people who will be allowed into the arena early in order to guarantee their place at the front of the crowd. These will be picked via a special draw before tickets are issued.
It should be noted that 'First to the Stage Barrier' tickets are also available for the 11th of June concert at Allstate Arena, Rosemont, Illinois as well as the 15th of June appearance at Madison Square Garden, New York.
