As reported earlier today, IRON MAIDEN are confirmed as the first headliner of the Desert Rock 2007 festival, which set to take place March 9-10, 2007 at the Dubai Country Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The band will play on March 9th and headline over THE PRODIGY, STONE SOUR, IN FLAMES, MASTODON, CHILDREN OF BODOM, LAUREN HARRIS and JUNKYARD GROOVE .

This will be the fourth Desert Rock Festival in Dubai since it started in 2004 and it will take place at the Dubai Country Club. Tickets will be made available from the official Desert Rock Festival website - desertrockfestival.com - where full details of the festival and site can be found.

Says manager Rod Smallwood; "Maiden have always enjoyed and been prepared to visit and play in new parts of the World and this is certainly no exception. We expect to take the full European stage production and as its our first time there. We will adjust the set to include more of the favourites these fans won't have heard live before along with selected tracks from our new album A Matter of Life and Death which has been very successful in Arabia with a Top 5 Chart entry. As this tour has been so much fun we may even add a couple more special shows in mid-March."

Adds Bruce Dickinson: "This is certainly something new to us as I don't believe anyone from the band has ever played here at all so we're all really looking forward to this. We all enjoy touring where we've always had fantastic support but there is something always a bit special about playing to new fans in a part of the world you'd never really expected to play. It certainly looks and sounds like a great festival and line up and I'm already planning a special BruceAir trip out for this one which will be amazing I'm sure. We're just getting to the end of whats been a brilliant year for all of us and we've had a fantastic reaction to the tour throughout and we 'd like to thank all the fans for their support on the album and the tour. It's been incredible."

Details of the Bruce Air three day trip out to Dubai and the Desert Rock Festival will be posted tomorrow, Friday, December 22nd on Seegigs.co.uk.
