Iron Maiden On Stage In
Costa Rica Tonight
The British heavy metal band Iron Maiden is Costa Rica for a concert
tonight at the Alejandro Morera Soto stadium in Alajuela.
Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton, East
London, England, formed in 1975. The band is led by founder, bassist
and songwriter Steve Harris. Since forming in 1975 they have
released fourteen studio albums, nine live albums, four EPs and
eight compilations.
As one of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands of all
time, Iron Maiden have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide,
without significant mainstream or radio support.
The band arrived in Costa Rica on Monday on board their own private
airplane, Ed Force One, and will be the second time performing in
Costa Rica. Their first performance was in February 2008 at the
Saprissa stadium.
Ed Force One is a wonderful customized Boeing 757 owned by and used
to transport the band, 60 member crew and 12 tons of equipment as
they tour the world. It’s named after Iron Maiden’s infamous mummy
mascot “Eddie” and is piloted by Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce
Dickinson.
According to organizers there are still some seats available for
tonight's performance.
