Iron Maiden fly high again for the final leg of their ‘SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR’

Following the huge international success of their spectacular ‘Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 08′ Iron Maiden will be taking to the skies once again in 2009 for a fourth and final leg starting in Dubai on February 13th.
