The Book of Souls World Tour

The Book of Souls World Tour was a concert tour by Iron Maiden, held in support of their sixteenth studio album, The Book of Souls. The first leg of the tour saw the band play shows in 36 countries across six continents, which included their debut performances in El Salvador, Lithuania and China. The group, their crew and equipment were transported on a customised Boeing 747-400, nicknamed "Ed Force One", which was piloted by vocalist Bruce Dickinson.

Setlist

Speaking about the setlist prior to the tour, guitarist Janick Gers stated that the band will play "six or seven" tracks from The Book of Souls and "pepper it with older songs so everybody gets to enjoy the gig." Gers also suggested that "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (from The Number of the Beast, 1982) would return to the show, following its absence during the Maiden England World Tour 2012-14, and that "The Trooper" (from Piece of Mind, 1983) would also be performed.
