Iron Maiden in Harrison

Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band formed in London in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris. They became known through the new wave of British heavy metal and albums including The Number of the Beast, Powerslave and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. “The Trooper,” “Run to the Hills” and “Fear of the Dark” remain central songs in their catalogue. The World Slavery Tour of 1984 and 1985 took Iron Maiden into arenas, and performances at Long Beach Arena were recorded for Live After Death. The Somewhere Back in Time World Tour later carried the band aboard Ed Force One, piloted by singer Bruce Dickinson. The Legacy of the Beast Tour developed their stage history further through themed sets and changing appearances by the mascot Eddie. Iron Maiden have repeatedly returned to Download Festival and Rock in Rio. They have also headlined Wacken Open Air.
