Veteran rockers to play The Forum in February

Iron Maiden have announced a one-off show in Los Angeles early next year.

The veteran rockers will be in Tokyo in the midst of a world tour when they'll fly back to the US for a single date at the Los Angeles Forum on February 19. They'll then continue their world jaunt in Mexico.

"It will certainly be the first time we have played LA by flying in, doing the show and flying straight out again – we usually like to hang around there for a few days!" bassist Steve Harris said in a statement. "We will have to make up for it next time."

Tickets are set to go on sale for the show on November 10.
