Few bands have left such a huge mark on the history of metal as these British veterans. Since their beginnings in the East London. Iron Maiden has grown into one of the world’s biggest metal institutions – a name that millions of fans worldwide associate as greatness, spectacular shows with a universe brimming in myths, imagery and stories.
With releases such as The Number of the Beast, Powerslave, Seventh Son of A Seventh Son and more recent works like The Book of Souls and Senjutsu, IRON MAIDEN have proven that they don’t simply live off the past – they constantly reinvent themselves without ever compromising their identity. Their lyrics range from historical battlefields and classic literary works to science fiction and political commentary. This is music that speaks to the heart, the mind and pure adrenaline.
“We are very proud to welcome the brave Brits back to COPENHELL. The band’s ongoing ’Run For Your Lives’ tour will continue into 2026, focusing on their earliest releases – so audiences can look forward to a deep dive into a back catalog bursting with both colossal hits and cult classics.
