Aussie rockers Airbourne will be joining Iron Maiden on their The Final Frontier World Tour dates through the UK this July & August.

Airbourne have had a huge year, with the release of their second album "No Guts. No Glory" receiving chart positions around the world, sold out headline tours around the globe and a slot on just about every rock festival in existence.

With more to come in 2011, including headlining Germany's famous hard rock festival "Wacken Open Air", things are certainly looking up for these four boys from country Australia.

On supporting Iron Maiden for the first time, Airbourne had the following to say

“Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden's hard working crew and Iron Maiden's hard rocking crowd are all people who stand up for Rock'n'Roll the world over and we love and respect them all. We can't wait to open fire upon that hallowed stage. Long live Metal, Long live Maiden and long live Eddie!”

Bottom of the Well

In a recent interview with rock radio station Triple M , Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee Alice Cooper namedropped our very own Aussie rockers Airbourne .

Said Cooper, "I really like garage bands... I like bands that sound like drunk bar bands. I just saw this video of Airbourne the other night ("Blonde, Bad & Beautiful") and I went 'ok, that looks like fun'."

While Roadrunner Records had Airbourne brothers Joel & Ryan O'Keeffe's attention at the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Tour last month, they told the guys all about it. Watch their reaction below, and be sure to check back this time next week to see the band's brand new official music video for "Bottom of the Well" off their latest album No Guts. No Glory.
