Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson Announces Another 2025 North American Solo Tour…
Legendary Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is stepping out on his own once again, announcing a much-anticipated North American solo tour for 2025. Following the release of his latest solo album The Mandrake Project, Dickinson is set to embark on an extensive tour across the U.S. and Canada, bringing his iconic voice, theatrical flair, and heavy metal passion to the stage without his Iron Maiden bandmates.
The tour, set to kick off in late January 2025, will span several weeks and hit major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, and Houston. Fans can expect to see Dickinson deliver a high-energy performance featuring new tracks from The Mandrake Project, as well as selections from his acclaimed solo catalog such as Chemical Wedding, Accident of Birth, and Tattooed Millionaire.
“The Mandrake Project is something I’ve been wanting to bring to life for years,” Dickinson said in a statement. “This tour is more than just a string of concerts—it’s a theatrical experience, an extension of the music’s world. I can’t wait to share it with fans across North America.”
Dickinson’s latest album, The Mandrake Project, released in early 2024, marked his first solo effort in nearly two decades and received critical acclaim for its complex storytelling, powerful vocals, and progressive metal elements. The album is a dark, cinematic exploration of science, magic, and the human spirit, combining intense instrumentation with vivid lyrical imagery. It also coincides with a companion comic book series, further expanding the universe Dickinson has built around the project.
Known for his dynamic stage presence, operatic vocal range, and intellectual approach to metal, Dickinson has long stood out in the genre not just as Iron Maiden’s frontman, but as a multi-faceted solo artist. His solo work, often more experimental than Maiden’s, allows him to explore deeper themes and push creative boundaries.
Joining Dickinson on tour will be his trusted band of collaborators, including guitarist Roy Z, who also produced The Mandrake Project. Their partnership dates back to the mid-90s and has been a cornerstone of Dickinson’s solo sound.
Tickets for the 2025 North American tour are set to go on sale next week, with a special pre-sale for fan club members. VIP packages, which include meet-and-greet opportunities and exclusive merchandise, will also be available. Given Dickinson’s reputation and the buzz surrounding The Mandrake Project, fans are encouraged to act quickly once sales open.
This tour marks Dickinson’s return to solo touring after focusing primarily on Iron Maiden’s massive global tours in recent years. With Maiden’s touring cycle temporarily on pause, Dickinson is seizing the opportunity to reintroduce audiences to his solo material—and to bring The Mandrake Project to life in spectacular fashion.
For fans of heavy metal, storytelling, and theatrical rock experiences, Bruce Dickinson’s 2025 solo tour promises to be one of the most unique and memorable events of the year.
