Legendary metal band Iron Maiden will bring The Final Frontier World Tour to the First Niagara Pavilion (formerly Post-Gazette Pavilion) on July 14 with support act Dream Theater.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, March 20 at 10 a.m. through LiveNation.com or charge by phone at 800-745-3000.

Singer Bruce Dickinson said in a statement, "We really wanted to get out and play some shows before the release of the new album later this year, so we thought what better way to kick off the tour than by going back to Canada and the USA where fans gave us such a fantastic reception during our last tour in 2008. We were astounded to see so many thousands of fans packing out the venues, so this time round we will be playing a few more cities we haven't visited for some time, like Dallas, Saskatoon, Detroit, Denver and Pittsburgh."

An exclusive pre-sale for members of the Iron Maiden fan club will take place three days prior to the public on sale date. Go to www.ironmaiden.com
