The U.K. leg of Iron Maiden's much vaunted 'Legacy Of The Beast Tour' kicks off next week in Newcastle on Tuesday 31st July, with a Spitfire buzzing the stage during the opening number Aces High. The plane is a 90% sized replica of an actual Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb registration number AA 853 from 302 Squadron that saw active duty in 1941.  Photo: Press. With less than 2 months to go until Stradbally Hall opens its gates and welcomes 55,000 picknickers, there is still time to get training and enter this year’s Tour de Picnic. There are a limited number of places left for the annual charity 80 km cycle or 17km run, and it’s the last place to get your hands on tickets for the sold out Electric Picnic.  Photo: Press. Downtown Las Vegas is just a couple of months away from hosting its fifth Life is Beautiful Festival, an event that has helped to breathe new life into the downtown neighbourhood of Fremont Street. Alongside the likes of Lollapalooza, Life is Beautiful is fast becoming one of the most colourful festivals in the U.S. The event’s creators go to town on the 18 blocks of Sin City’s downtown suburb, creating a backdrop that inspires and excites in equal measure.
