Singapore Today Newspaper
“It is still early in the year but rockers Iron Maiden delivered the best rock show we’ve seen by far. They promised ‘a Maiden extravaganza’ and they delivered. The band were in top gear when they performed their maiden show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium to a sold-out crowd”
Melbourne (Hisense Arena)
“Thousands of fans were treated to a dose of metal just the way metal should be delivered…the elaborate, futuristic-themed stage set-up was nothing short of gob-smacking” – Triple M Radio
“There are a few bands that you don’t have to know, to know who they are. There are also a few bands that you legitimately consider seeing live as much for the crowds as for the band. Iron Maiden is both of these bands and last night’s concert reaffirmed that in every possible way. Their concert is certainly one to see, if not for the sole reason that they are both founders and continuers of a style of music that has become severely misrepresented by modern day imitators and popular nu-metal bands. At the end of the concert what truly sticks out is that they seemed truly happy to be performing in front of everyone – a feeling that was reciprocated by the audience in every way” – NovaFM Radio
Sydney (Entertainment Centre)
“Iron Maiden continued their heavy metal assault across Oz with an amazing show at the Sydney Entertainment Centre..opening the show with an amazing animation warm-up for their opening track ‘The Final Frontier’ the gods went off with a bang” - Triple M Radio
“As the houselights came up and the arena was filled with Monty Python’s Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, the faces emerging from the sea of people were mixed with mirth and satisfaction, as everyone in attendance were treated to a very special night of heavy music. I had been informed of it before, but can now say with authority that everyone MUST see Iron Maiden at least once in their life”- fasterlouder.au
Brisbane Soundwave
“There was no doubt who the kings of Soundwave were this year. Iron Maiden’s legacy hung so dauntingly over proceedings from the get-go that the other bands felt like a warm-up act. Put simply, Maiden are a hard act to precede and an impossible act to follow. Not that they would let you follow them…The band’s collective stage presence was awe-inspiring” – The Brisbane Times newspaper
Sydney Soundwave
“Iron Maiden, one of the live music spectacles of the world. Three days ago at the [Sydney] Entertainment Centre they had been on fire, and if the superlative to being on fire is blazingly incinerating, then that’s what Iron Maiden was tonight” – Loud Magazine
The encore of The Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Running Free indulged Iron Maiden's early years, the latter featuring a raucous call-and-response reciting of the song's chorus. As Dickinson mused before Blood Brothers earlier in the set, it doesn't matter where you're from, what colour your skin is, what religion you are. What matters is that you're a Maiden fan” – The Australian Newspaper
