Harmonix and MTV Games today announced 25 tracks from artists coming this week to the Rock Band Music Store catalog of downloadable content for the Wii system, including the highly anticipated 12 tracks from Iron Maiden, one of the world’s most successful rock bands.  
 
As previously announced, the release of this week’s downloadable Iron Maiden tracks coincides with the U.S. release of Flight 666 on Blu-ray and DVD as well as a double-CD soundtrack album and limited edition double-vinyl picture disc. Flight 666 documents the first leg of Maiden’s legendary Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, which took them 50,000 miles around the planet, playing 23 concerts on five continents in just 45 days. One of the stars of the movie is the band’s customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, all their crew and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a fully qualified and active Airline Captain with Astraeus Airlines.  
 
Live recordings of Aces High, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Fear of the Dark and Iron Maiden, featured on Flight 666, are among those available for download in the Rock Band  Music Store for Wii June 9. The other eight songs were among those featured on the band’s Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, during the first leg of which Flight 666 was filmed. This will mark the first time master recordings from Iron Maiden have been made available on Rock Band games.
 
Also coming to Wii DLC this week are tracks from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Disturbed and a special track from Stephen & the Colberts. These tracks come from the back catalog of Rock Band music already released to owners of Xbox 360 and PS3. Wii fans can expect a rollout of previously released downloadable Rock Band content until the entire back catalog of more than 700 songs is available.  With the addition of these tracks, there are now more than 290 tracks in the Wii Rock Band Music Store.
