OKLAHOMA CITY – Hey
gang, it’s time again for
all the metal heads to get
the old black tees, ripped
jeans and chain wallets
out of storage because
IRON MAIDEN is making a
stop in Oklahoma City at
Chesapeake Energy Arena
on June 19 y’all. Are YOU
ready for Eddie?
If we have to tell you who
Iron Maiden (or Eddie) is,
stop reading. As the rest
of you know, they are the
quintessential metal band
of the 1980s and anyone
who loves metal will tell
you that a little wear on
the tires hasn’t faded their

converge on Chesapeake

extra for that. C’mon, you
know you would too.

Add to all the fanfare about
the new album and Eddie’s
constant stage presence, IM
may not be back this way for
quite some time, so why not
take advantage of a great
thing when it falls in your lap?
Imagine the stories for your
grandchildren (who may just
be at the concert too).
