LONDON, England (CNN) -- Somewhere in South America right now a head-banger is getting very excited. The crowd went wild when Iron Maiden took to the stage in Colombia earlier this year. They're going back in March, 2009. Veteran hell-raisers Iron Maiden have announced five new tour dates in Brazil, within months of playing to capacity crowds in some of country's biggest music venues. Last March, they packed  the 40,000 capacity Palmeiras Stadium in Sao Paulo. Next March, they'll be following in the formidable footsteps of Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton, rock band Kiss and the Pope, no less, to wow the crowds at the Autodromo de Interlagos.
