The Iron Maiden beer is also celebrating its first birthday.

Iron Maiden's Trooper Premium British Beer has been announced as the official ale of this year's Sonisphere Festival.
The beer's brainchild and Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson enthused:
“Pints of Trooper at Sonisphere will be pretty special because of just how fresh they will be! They will be brewed and transported at the very last minute to ensure that MAIDEN fans get them as close to perfect as they can possibly be.
"Add in the fact that they will be chilled and this really will be a special festival pint of ale! We’ve also worked on the way it will be served to minimise queues and also give the best pint actually in the glass that we possibly could. We’re really proud to be bringing it to our fans this way and I know we’ll convert some non-ale drinkers too. Ultimately we’re delivering a special beer for the very last show of the MAIDEN ENGLAND Tour. What could be better?”
The announcement comes alongside the celebrations for Trooper's first anniversary, which began last night at a private event at The Queen's Head, London.
The party saw a surprise appearance from Dickinson himself, who of course enjoyed a pint of Trooper with Planet Rock's Paul Anthony.
Sonisphere Festival will be Iron Maiden's only UK appearance on the final of the Maiden England World Tour, which began back in June 2012 and has seen the band performing a classic set list based arond the original 1989 live concert video of the same name.

The set will be released on 30 June.

Pink Floyd have announced they're to release a 20^th anniversary box set of their final album, ‘The Division Bell’.
The set features six discs, five collectors’ prints, a Blu-ray disc including the new 2014 film of 'Marooned' and a previously unreleased 5.1 surround sound mix of the album.
Also included will be a new 2-LP vinyl edition of the album, remastered by Doug Sax from the original analogue tapes, including all of the full length tracks which were originally edited to fit on a single LP.
‘The Division Bell’ debuted at No 1 in the UK and in the USA, staying at the top of the US charts for 4 weeks; it also went to No 1 in eight other countries and, to date, has reached total album sales of over 12 million. The album was recorded by the band at Astoria and Britannia Row Studios with the majority of the lyrics being written by Polly Samson and David Gilmour.
 
David Gilmour said at the time: “The three of us went into Britannia Row studios, and improvised for 2 weeks.  Playing together and starting from scratch was interesting and exciting, it kick started the album and the process was very good, it was collaborative and felt more cohesive.”
The box set is due for a June 30 release.

Another hugely successful concert at The Kings pub in All Cannings, Wiltshire today [31 May].
The Troggs opened with old favourites and Paul Young & the Pacaminos really got things going.
The Straits performed some classic songs but Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel stole the afternoon when Steve gave his two thousand pound guitar away for auction. Last we heard it has an offer of 10K on it and Steve even offered to come around to the buyer's house and record a song with them to upload to YouTube.
The night was finished with an amazing set by Sir Bob and The Boomtown Rats.
Once again a little pub in Wiltshire has supplied the most amazing gig and raised bucket loads of cash for Rock against cancer.
