Heavy metal icons Iron Maiden have announced a North American tour in support of their upcoming new album, The Final Frontier, which is expected out later this summer.
The tour kicks off June 9 in Dallas. Dream Theater will be the support act for the entire tour, except a lone Canadian date June 30 in Winnipeg. There's no word on who will open that show.
"It's a bit of a dream come true for us," Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy said. "After 25 years together, at this stage in our career, there's honestly only three bands Dream Theater would consider opening for and Maiden is one of them."
The 22-city tour of arenas and amphitheatres features six Canadian stops in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal before concluding July 20 in Washington, D.C.
