Jump in the cock pit and start up the engines / Remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste! Iron Maiden completed their tour in support of 2015's The Book of Souls over the summer and are set to make their return less than one year later as they've just announced the dates behind the "Legacy of the Beast" 2018 European tour with special guests Killswitch Engage.

The run kicks off on May 26 on Tallinn, Estonia and will wrap up over two months later on Aug. 10 in London, making 34 stops in total. The tour's concept is based off Maiden's Legacy of the Beast mobile game and comic and will feature a stage design to cater to these themes, complete with "interlocking worlds." As for the set, old school fans will be delighted to know that most of it will be centered around the band's classic '80s material.

For those who don't live in Europe, don't worry because this tour will be spilling into 2019, so there's certainly more dates to come.

“As our fans know, we’ve been following a particular touring cycle ever since Bruce [Dickinson] and Adrian [Smith] rejoined Maiden at the start of the millennium, alternating new album tours with 'History / Hits' tours. We enjoy working this way for many reasons, not least because it gives the band a chance to play both new material and the older favorites which we know fans like to hear. It keeps things fresh, not just for the fans but for the band too," commented Maiden's longtime manager Rod Smallwood.

He continued, “For this History / Hits tour we decided to base the theme around the 'Legacy of the Beast' name, which suits our purposes perfectly by giving us scope to get creative and have some fun, especially with Eddie! I don’t want to give too much away at the moment but we’re working on a number of different stage sets, all in keeping with the Maiden tradition and we hope to give our fans a fantastic experience when they come to see this very special show.”

A list of all stops can be seen directly below. Please note that Killswitch Engage will be featured on headline European shows from May 26 to July 1 inclusive and in the U.K. from July 31 to Aug. 10 inclusive. Additional guests will be revealed sometime soon. Fan Club members will again have first access to tickets starting on Nov. 20 with most of the standard on sale dates beginning Nov. 24.
