Despite headlining major UK festivals such as Reading and Donington many times and selling out stadiums around the world, the band have never played a stadium in the UK until now.
The venue has a 50,000, and this will be Maiden's only UK show of 2008. A full supporting bill will be announced shortly.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday 30th November. We'll have links to buy when on sale.
Maiden's Steve Harris said "It could be a bit of an understatement to say how excited we all are to be playing this show next summer. We've got hell of a tour planned visiting old and new fans all over the world but as always it's great to get home and play here in London especially at such a prestigious stadium as Twickenham. Fans who travel out to Europe for our stadium shows there have for a while been asking us to play one here as the audience in a stadium is much closer to the band than at a big festival and can see so much better. As some people will know I am a big football fan but have heard much about what a great stadium Twickenham is from our rugby mad manager!! So l'm definitely looking forward to savouring that atmosphere We played a couple of nights at Earls Court just before Christmas at the end of our last album tour and you always get such a great feeling playing at home with all your friends and family there. It's going to a fantastic occasion."
