Iron Maiden - To Live Stream Wacken Performance


The iconic Iron Maiden have a treat for their fans. The Book of Souls World Tour has been on the road since late February, playing to over 1.5 million fans with 72 shows in 36 countries and six continents. They will play the final show on Thursday, August 4th in Germany at Wacken Open Air Festival. ARTE Concert is going to feature the entire performance on live stream. The gig will get lavish camera attention and can be accessed anywhere in the world.

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood says: "We decided to finish the tour at Wacken as it is the ideal way to end this magical tour playing to 80,000 core metal fans at this legendary Metal festival. Wacken has become such as international event with many thousands of fans from many other countries around the world joining and celebrating with the German fans so it is perfect for the final show of a memorable tour. Everywhere we've played the fans have been amazing and the reaction to the new songs and stage show has been phenomenal. The band has loved every minute on stage. So when Wacken and ARTE asked us to consider a live stream of our performance there we jumped at the chance to give our fans an end of tour gift. Streaming this final show live globally allows us to thank the many fans we played to so far, and, for those who couldn't get to see us this time round, a chance to see just how spectacular the live concert is and what they missed!"

Wolfgang Bergmann (ARTE): "The festival summer by ARTE concert is heading for an exceptional highlight, showing a live stream of British legends Iron Maiden performing their final show of an incredible tour at the Wacken Open Air. An audience of millions, in Europe and for the first time worldwide, know by now that ARTE is taking the festivals to anywhere you are."

Holger Hübner/Thomas Jensen (ICS/Wacken): "We are incredibly happy to be able to give all these Iron Maiden and Wacken Open Air fans, worldwide, this highlight at the close of the spectacular 'Book of Souls' Tour. Heavy Metal fans are the best fans in the world, and Iron Maiden fans are unparalleled. It is so brilliant that everybody who could not get a ticket for the W:O:A, will be able to enjoy this 'Night To Remember'."

You can watch the live stream at this location or here on Thursday, 4 August, from 9.30 pm CET.

I saw them on July 3rd in Poland. It was the 5th time that I saw Iron Maiden live. I must say that every time they play an open air concert, it sounds considerably worse than when they play inside.
It was no different this time. The drums were much too loud, it was hard to hear some solos. (When I saw Iron Maiden live in 2013, on July 3rd as well (!!!), it was in a good venue and it was the best sounding concert I've ever been to.) Also, Bruce Dickinson seems to be very far from optimal form. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" sounded quite bad, to name just one song.

To add some positive things to this less than positive opinion, I must say that some new songs are really great live, especially "The Red And The Black" and "The Book Of Souls". I hope at least one of them will remain in their repertoire. But fat chance of that happening - apart from new stuff, they only played two songs that are NOT from the 1980's - "Blood Brothers" and "Fear Of The Dark"...
