Somewhere in Nijmegen - The Rockcafé of the Beast!
Published on August 14th, 2009

As you may have noticed from our tour schedule we are heading back to Rock the Café at Backstage in Nijmegen on October 23 & 24.

Last year we did two shows over the weekend, performing two entirely different set lists to sell-out crowds on both nights. Following on from this success we've decided to come back across the Channel and give Nijmegen two more nights to remember, with a twist…

Friday night will feature Iron Maiden’s sixth album 'Somewhere in Time' performed in it’s entirety. Featuring the classic, Adrian Smith-penned, singles 'Wasted Years' and 'Stranger in a Strange Land', this album is arguably one of Maiden’s most popular. Also containing perennial fan favourite 'Heaven Can Wait' and the elusive 'Alexander the Great' (never performed live by Maiden themselves), Friday night is sure to please!

On Saturday night we wind the clocks back to 1982 with a complete performance of Maiden’s first number-one album, 'The Number of the Beast'. This album is just hit after hit, with the title track and 'Run to the Hills' making waves in the singles charts. Live favourites 'Children of the Damned' and 22 Acacia Avenue' really showcase Maiden’s then newly-recruited frontman Bruce Dickinson, and of course no Maiden tribute gig would ever be complete without 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' in there somewhere!

With each album forming the centerpiece of the evening, the sets will also feature many other Maiden classics. These shows are not to be missed!
