Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson has announced that he and his solo band will be playing a secret, intimate show this week.
The singer revealed in an Instagram post earlier today (April 10) that he’ll be playing at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, California, on Friday (April 12).
Tickets will be available at the box office of the 500-capacity club on the morning of the show from 10am local time.
Dickinson said in his Instagram post (as transcribed by Blabbermouth): “Oh my god, here we are in rehearsals with the House Band Of Hell, which is actually what is gonna be at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles on Friday. Secret show, not secret anymore.”
He continued: “10 o’clock Friday morning, tickets go on sale. And when you turn up at the box office, you never know who you might meet. But anyway, never mind. So we’re gonna be there.”
Dickinson added that he and his bandmates “are absolutely stoked for this show”, to the point that “we were ready a week ago”.
“I’ve been trying to calm them down. Honestly, it's like having a lot of strange horny animals,” he joked.
The Whisky A Go Go concert will be the first show of Bruce Dickinson’s 2024 world tour, which kicks off properly at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California, on April 15.
The full list of dates Dickinson has planned is available below, and tickets are on sale now.
Dickinson will be on the road to promote his new solo album The Mandrake Project, released in March by BMG.
Metal Hammer gave The Mandrake Project a glowing 9/10 review.
Journalist Chris Chantler wrote: “The Mandrake Project demands and rewards total absorption into its kaleidoscopic sound picture.
Multiple strands of Bruce’s solo career are drawn together throughout. There’s the accessible hard rock of 1990’s Tattooed Millionaire, the ambitious versatility of 1994’s Balls To Picasso, the snappy cosmic prog of 1996’s Skunkworks – as well as the profound, elegant metal classicism that is the man’s primary skillset – with lyrical references to old songs adding to the cohesive, celebratory vibe.”
