Unofficial Iron Maiden Fan-site Since 2002
Steve Harris’s British Lion and Richie Kotzen are among the first 72 acts named for Resurrection Fest, which runs from 30 June to 3 July 2027 in Viveiro, Spain. Kotzen, Adrian Smith’s partner in Smith/Kotzen, is billed under his own name. The festival has yet to give either act a day. Festival passes go on sale at noon Spanish time on Tuesday 10 November 2026.
Steve Harris’s band British Lion will play Mystic Festival in Gdańsk on 11 June 2027. The festival, which runs from 10 to 12 June, added the band to its lineup on 3 November alongside John Garcia, Mondo Generator and Dogma.
Z2 and Iron Maiden follow their Piece of Mind graphic album with a sci-fi anthology marking 40 years of Somewhere in Time. Its stories draw on the album’s eight tracks and explore the far future and the distant past. Contributors include Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Dastmalchian, with cover art by Blake Armstrong. Z2 expects the standard hardcover to ship on or around 2 March 2027.
In Radio Futuro’s written account of its interview, Bruce Dickinson recalls how complaints that Maiden were devil worshippers stopped the band’s first planned show in Chile in the early 1990s, and how fans crossed the border to see them in Mendoza, Argentina. He compares Maiden’s audience to plywood, with a new generation adding a layer every couple of years. He also hopes to bring his solo band to South America in early 2028, though nothing is fixed.
CA Bryers is listening to the audiobook of Nicko's memoir and reviews his narration, the pre-Maiden stories and the two chapters on the Blaze years. Bryers generally enjoys Nicko's reading, though not all of his humour, and questions the band's handling of the Virtual XI tour.
