For our latest Classic Programme feature we head back to 1982 again in order to join the BEAST on the road…

That’s right – we couldn’t really miss Iron Maiden out of this series and here we have a corker of a tour book from the UK Leg of the band’s Beast on the Road Tour.

The Beast on the Road Tour was the band’s largest ever undertaken at that point, with one hundred and eighty four dates played in total. The first twenty shows of the tour took place in the UK, kicking off in Dunstable and ending with a show at the Hammersmith Odeon on March 20, 1982. Were you at any of the shows? Let us know in the comments if you were!

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Run to the Hills
Children of the Damned
The Number of the Beast
