“Eddie says, ‘Let’s go back to the ’80s, so put down your phones!”: Iron Maiden are asking fans to limit their phone use at the band’s shows this summer

Iron Maiden fan as Eddie.

Iron Maiden are asking fans to keep their phones in their pockets at the band’s forthcoming concerts — out of respect for other fans and for the musicians on stage.

Maiden’s Run For Your Lives tour kicks off in Budapest, Hungary on 27 May, and will exclusively feature classic material from the band’s early albums — from 1980’s Iron Maiden through to 1992’s Fear Of The Dark.
