Denver got lucky: Out of the nine U.S. dates that legendary metal band will play on its “Book of Souls” tour, the Pepsi Center is among them.

Iron Maiden announced its “Book of Souls” world tour this morning, including an April 13 stop at . Tickets, 39.50-$89.50, are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 on .

Also, should be be nervous that the band is touring (once again) via their enormous Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet, Ed Force One? The customized vehicle, emblazoned with the band’s logo and new album art, will carry the band, crew and stage production and equipment over 55,000 miles around the world visiting around 35 countries on the tour.

Here’s where we get nervous: it’s going to be piloted by vocalist Bruce Dickinson, who has started his training to qualify as a 747 pilot. He’s reportedly using a simulator based at Cardiff Aviation, an aircraft maintenance facility he owns in Wales.

Good luck with that. And mean that, sincerely.
