Bruce Dickinson announces solo UK tour – here’s what you need to know | Music | Entertainment

Bruce Dickinson needs no introduction, but his upcoming album certainly does.

The Iron Maiden frontman has just confirmed the release window of his upcoming seventh solo album: The Mandrake Project.

The record will be hitting store shelves and streaming services at some point in 2024 – but you can hear the first track from the album long before then.

He just revealed the record’s first single, Afterglow of Ragnarok, will be released on December 1, 2023.

The 65-year-old rocker said of his new song: “It was important to set the tone of the project with this track. 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!”

As if that wasn’t enough, Dickinson also confirmed some enormous shows kicking off throughout the UK and Europe in the coming months.

Kicking off in May 2024, Dickinson will be playing five massive shows in the UK before he ventures to Europe.

There, he’ll be hitting Holland, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, and many other countries.

Before general onsale tickets go up, however, there are some presale tickets on offer.

Here’s everything you need to know:
