IRON MAIDEN, DIO, and MOTÖRHEAD will be teaming up for a two-month North American tour during July-September, reliable sources have informed BLABBERMOUTH.NET. Although no official word has yet come down on the matter, it is understood that MINISTRY and ANTHRAX are among the acts currently under consideration for the opening/support slots on the bill.

IRON MAIDEN have just completed work on the follow-up to 2000's "Brave New World" and are scheduled to embark on the European leg of their "Give Me Ed… 'Til I'm Dead World Tour" in late May.

More information will be made available soon
 
Shit... I've been saying this for two weeks. Me and Thra:rofl:ude have been posting all over about it....

Check out the posting "Ways to Anthrax on the Maiden US Tour"

it has contact info at Sanctuary Management to lobby for Thrax


COME ON PEOPLE!!!! LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Dio is alright... BUT ANTHRAX CRUSHES!!!

Here is what I posted:

We all know that after the US tour with Motorhead, the guys are heading back to Europe for summer festivals. And of course Maiden will be playing some of those same festivals. Even though Anthrax is on Sanctuary Records and not under their management umbrella, it might still be feasible to see Anthrax and Maiden tour America in the fall. Maiden probably won't get to America until fall, especially if the album hits mid to late summer.

So lets do what we did with the Ozzfest petition. Here are NYC and London Sanctuary contacts... right below is a contact that handles Maiden's affairs.

Don't like Dio :confused:

"WHEN YOU LISTEN TO FOOLS THE MOB RULES!!!!!!!"
Yeah, the guys a cheesy cornball Dungeons and Dragons type, but the songs man, the songs.......... he single handedly saved Sabbath not once, but twice (and got f'ed over by Iommi twice mind ya)
 
:hotjump:

Sanctuary already knows that fans want this tour, since Anthrax has already been rumored as candidate. Let's hope they get it right.

I like Dio, but Anthrax makes better sense... from both an artistic and business standpoint.

True that, but you can't say that it makes more "business" sense to have Anthrax on the bill over Dio. That is laughable. Dio still headlines ampitheatres and (some) arenas when he tours. Dio is still heard on AOR radio daily and has sold millions more than Anthrax. This isn't a "DIO rah-rah-rah" thread, but Johnny Ace's comment was silly from a "business" standpoint. If I'm a promoter and I'm looking at booking a band that sells 1,000 - 3,000 tix a night (Dio) over a band that's last headlining US tour drew an average of maybe 600(anthrax), which would I choose????????????
 
Yeah homeboy. Dio co-headlined 20,000 seat amp's with the Scorps last summer. Check the Armored Saint site, when they opened for Dio some of those shows were in pretty bug venues. I'm pretty sure they played the Bronco Bowl and the Palace of Aurburn Hills. Again, I'm no huge Dio fan, I'm just pointing out facts.
 
Like I said, I'm not knocking Dio, but Anthrax can still sell 1,500 tickets a night alone. Plus, the business standpoint comment was in reference to the fact that its easier to put tour financing together when you have labelmates on the same bill. Plus, Anthrax has new material to support. Dio is coming out with a two disc compilation.

I think a bill that features more than three bands would be overkill (no pun intended). From what I recall, Maiden does a 1-2 hour set. Everyone else would get 30-45 minutes. That's no enough... especially for established acts.

Hopefully, eveyone is still lobbying Sanctuary for Anthrax.
 
Don't know that I'd care to see him live, but his music is great! Especially back in the Vivian Campbell days!! Damn, what a shame that such a huge talent had to drop off the face of the earth by joining Def Lep.

I'd love to see Anthrax get this slot!!!!

Okay, but playing a 20,000 seat venue and selling one out are entirely different matters. Just ask Nikki Sixx.
