After their triumphant show in 2008, this will mark the second show of the british Metal legends at WOA. Their gig on Thursday, August 5th, 2010 will also be their only German show next year.

Iron Maiden’s drummer Nicko comments on behalf of the band:

\"We had a fantastic time playing at Wacken in 2008 so when we decided to play a few festivals in Europe next Summer it seemed a great idea to return. What could be better in Germany than to play again to the 75,000 true Metalheads who go to Wacken?\"
