The concert was scheduled to take place on 16 July in Austria. In this year. But Austria reported the cancellation of the concert.
From official Site: (Iron Maiden.com)
We are very sorry to announce that further to the latest directive from the Austrian government, the ban on any large gatherings of any kind is being extended until August which sadly means that the Iron Maiden headline show at Wiener Neustadt Stadium on July 16 will no longer be taking place as planned.
The full statement from our Austrian promoter Barracuda Music is as follows:
Today we were informed by the Austrian government that we have now a ban for all shows, festivals and events until AUGUST 31.
Which means the show with IRON MAIDEN can´t happen to the COVID-19 crisis and pandemic and therefore cannot go ahead as planned. We are of course talking to the band’s agent and manager about hopefully rescheduling the show as we know Austrian fans really do not want to miss this!.
The danger of infecting further people and putting their lives at risk is simply too high. There is nothing as precious as our health and we must protect it. That is why we must and will follow the authority’s instructions.
From me:
This news is a bit sad for me, too. I was also considering going to a concert. Because Austria is not far from my Country. Austria is a neighbour state. Since my country - Slovakia.
Although I have been a long fan since 2005/06. Well, now there have been many great places. Which are cancelled. So we're on the same boat. not to mention that Japan, the Philippines, the Western European states have also been abolished. So I have no right to complain. All I can do is cry a little. So as people from this those part of places.
But don't lose hope. Believe me, Eddie is looking for a solution. How to destroy this virus. In the meantime, stay safe at home.
Andrew Pôbiš.
