The Iron Maiden Concert at HSBC ARENA has been postponed to Monday, March, 28th due to technical problems with the barricade provided in front of the stage.

This decision was taken by HSBC ARENA in agreement with the band's staff, because it's their priority not to put fans' safety in risk.
Iron Maiden will stay in Rio de Janeiro one more day to be able to make the show and not leave Rio de Janeiro out of this leg of The Final Frontier Tour.
All the fans at tonight (Sunday) concert must bring their tickets stub tomorrow to be allowed entry the concert.

For those fans who cannot attend the concert on Monday, the refund policy will be as follow:

Following the cancellation of both Maiden Tokyo shows due to recent events in Japan, we will be donating the proceeds from sales of the Japanese event shirt available from the Official Iron Maiden Shop (ie. the shirt without tour dates on) to a Charity assisting victims of the earthquake. Feedback from our Fanclub Forum suggests our fans fully support this proposal.

We plan to do likewise with the stock of event shirts currently in Tokyo, which were due to be sold onsite at the Tokyo venue (ie. the shirt with tour dates on). Details will follow as soon as possible as to where these will be available from, once we have worked out shipping etc.

The charity we shall be coordinating sales of both events shirts through is the Japanese Red Cross.
This is their website for anyone who may want to make a donation: http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/index.html

As you will have read from our press release (click here to read), this latest Best Of CD selection is aimed primarily at Maiden's ever-growing army of new fans. As we travel round the World touring we find ourselves continually and pleasantly surprised at the number of new young fans who are coming to the shows . So, as with Somewhere Back In Time, this compilation is an introduction to these guys and others, of Maiden's recording history. SBIT was a single album with 15 tracks covering the first 10 years, 1980-1990, and seven studio albums. This compilation covers a similar number of albums (8 in fact), but as many of the tracks from this era are of a  much longer duration, we felt we needed more space. So we have made it a double album set, however we'll be keeping the price the same as a  single album would be. In this later period many songs were getting generally longer and more complex so this gave us room to include epics like When the Wild Wind Blows, Paschendale,  For The Greater Good Of God and Sign of the Cross to name but a few.
