We kept it real with the original Phillips shape and OG truck-holes, and added KC & JP signatures on the top graphic.“All proceeds from these sales will be equally split between the Jed Foundation and The Skatepark Project in order to provide resources for those struggling with mental health, and to create more public skateparks in underserved areas.

Iron Maiden have announced the first UK, Ireland and European dates of ‘The Future Past Tour’ 2023.The English metal band will kick off their six-date UK run of shows in Glasgow (June 26), stopping off in Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Birmingham, before finishing up at London’s O2 on July 7.READ MORE: Iron Maiden – ‘Senjutsu’ review: an imaginative instant classicThe band has also announced five European shows, starting in Krakow, Poland on June 13, with stops in Zurich, Amsterdam and Antwerp, rounding up in Italy on July 15.The tour will feature previously unperformed songs from their most recent studio album ‘Senjutsu’, along with tracks from 1986’s ‘Somewhere In Time’ and other fan favourites.Pre-sale tickets can be purchased here from 9am BST until 8am October 14, while the general sale starts at 9am October 14.Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris said in a statement: “Following the release of our latest album, ‘Senjutsu’, we updated the current ‘Legacy of the Beast Tour’ a little by opening the show with the first 3 songs from it, with the Japanese Palace stage set. As it doesn’t make a lot of sense to repeat this for a ‘Senjutsu’ album tour, we thought about other options and we’ve decided to revisit ‘Somewhere In Time’ as that tour didn’t feature in the various retrospective history tours we’ve played over the years.“They were based on our 80’s concert videos and sadly we did not film that tour (blame the manager!!).

Download Festival announces major site improvements for 2022

Download Festival has announced major site improvements for its forthcoming 2022 event.Among the changes at the bash, which is due to take place from June 10-12 at full capacity for the first time in three years, is the decision to move The Village closer to The Arena, which will also now be located on hard-standing ground.The move also means it will be located just minutes away from the Access Campsite with fans now able to go freely from their camp to The Village without leaving solid ground.Other improvements include a new Circular Camping option, offering clean, upcycled tents and camping equipment which will ensure that even punters in the furthest campsites will be able to reach their tents from The Arena in just 25 minutes (down from almost an hour in previous years).Alongside new locations for all campsites, the new Castle Donington Bypass has made the addition of an East Car Park possible for the very first time.The event has also made improvements to its environmental outlook by partnering with Trees For Cities in a bid to cut CO2 emissions in terms of audience travel.An additional £1 car park pass donation will fund tree-planting projects in both Derbyshire county and Leicestershire county in the coming planting seasons.Download is also ramping up its late-night entertainment with more DJs taking to The Dog House stage each night from Wednesday (June 8), including BBC Radio 1’s Daniel P Carter.
