Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson Announces Winter 2022 Dates For His Spoken Word Tour

In September, English heavy metal band Iron Maiden released Senjutsu, an erratic and mind-boggling album that earned the band’s highest chart position in the U.S. in their 40+ year career. Early in 2022, the band’s frontman Bruce Dickinson is touring North America for a spoken word tour.

According to Brooklyn Vegan, “An Evening With Bruce Dickinson” will kick off on Jan. 17 in Ft. Lauderdale and will end on March 30 in Kitchener. Dickinson will be stopping in over 40 cities throughout the tour, including the Polk Theater in Nashville, The Town Hall in New York City, the Orpheum Theatre in LA, the Paramount Theaters in Denver and Austin, and the Fillmore in Detroit and Philadelphia. 

The events will be divided into two sections, described as follows:

“Split into two parts, the first section of the show sees Bruce taking a humorous and often satirical look at the world from his own very personal perspective, treating the audience to private insights into his drive and ambition, peppered with plenty of Maiden anecdotes, and a myriad of other experiences encompassing not just the giddy heights but also the extreme lows, told first-hand in his inimitable anarchic style, punctuated with photographs and sometimes even erupting into song a-capella, to illustrate a point.

The final section of the evening is devoted entirely to a Q&A session, with the opportunity to pose questions on any subject whatsoever. As Bruce’s answers will all be completely improvised – the more left-field and quirky the question, the more interesting and compelling the response is likely to be!”

Tickets go on sale on Friday, Nov. 5.
