“It will last through the ages until the end”

For fans, Dickinson remains first and foremost the leader of Iron Maiden.

This legendary group which has crossed generations in four decades: 100 million records sold, more than twenty world tours.

In the queue, there are people in their forties and fifties who are diving back into adolescence.

"They were the first metal band I listened to at the age of 13 and I'm still a fan at 46", "my mother went to see Iron Maiden when she was pregnant with me and I've been tattooed ever since Iron Maiden, I live Iron Maiden", "the first cassettes with friends, mopeds and hard rock from the 80s, it will last through the ages to the end", testify these metal lovers at the microphone of Europe 1.

The proof: in the crowd, we also come across a few children.

Fans who will be able to meet at the end of June not far from here, in Clisson, where Bruce Dickinson plans to ignite the Hellfest which will be held from June 27 to 30, 2024.
