Bruce Dickinson heading to the UK and Europe for ‘The Mandrake Project Live’ in 2024

Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson will bring his ‘The Mandrake Project Live’ tour to the UK and Europe in 2024 it has been confirmed.

The tour is in support of the rock and metal star’s upcoming album ‘The Mandrake Project’, due for release next year. The project’s first single ‘Afterglow of Ragnarok’ will be released on 1st December as a collectable vinyl 7” single, that includes an eight-page comic book. The single also features Dickinson’s original solo demo version of the song ‘If Eternity Should Fail’, which first appeared on Iron Maiden’s album ‘The Book Of Souls’ in 2015.

“It was important to set the tone of the project with this track,” Dickinson explains. “As befitting its title, it’s a heavy song and there’s a great big riff driving it…but there’s also a real melody in the chorus that displays the light and shade that the rest of the album brings… and just wait until you see the video!”

Having already announced Brazilian and Mexican live dates for April & May next year, Dickinson and his phenomenal band – which features guitarist Roy Z, drummer Dave Moreno, bass-player Tanya O’Callaghan and keyboard maestro Mistheria – will continue their touring with a run of European shows, alongside a number of festival appearances in Europe.
