A Look Back: Bruce Dickinson’s Last Solo Tour
Aside from a few spoken-word engagements and select performances in California, Dickinson has not embarked on a full North American solo tour since 1997’s Accident of Birth tour. Reflecting on the upcoming tour, Dickinson expressed his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to be able to take The Mandrake Project out for a proper tour of North America. Last year we did a couple of sold-out U.S. West Coast dates before heading to South America, and the response was just incredible. This time we will add ‘Shadow of the Gods’ to the setlist for this incredible band to perform, plus a few other gems, so we are really looking forward to seeing our fans again all over the country and for a couple of shows up in Canada.”
Preparation for the Tour
As he gears up for this solo venture, Dickinson will have the opportunity to warm up during the summer leg of Iron Maiden’s ongoing Run for Your Lives tour, celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary. This tour will spotlight their first nine albums and is expected to run through 2026, introducing fans to their new drummer, Simon Dawson, who took over the role from Nicko McBrain.
