Bruce Dickinson is taking his solo band back on the road. The Iron Maiden singer has announced the ‘PsychoGod Tour 2027’, 31 European dates between June and December, seven of them in the UK, to coincide with the release of his eighth studio album.
The tour comes in two legs. The first opens on 14 June at Belfast’s Ulster Hall and ends in early July with three festival appearances: Spain’s Rock Imperium, Germany’s Rockharz and the Czech Republic’s Masters of Rock. The second, with Swedish prog-metal band Evergrey in support, runs from 10 November in Warsaw to 10 December at L’Olympia in Paris. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 30 October at brucedickinsonhq.com. Prices have not yet been announced.
“What we do is real and that’s so important right now,” Dickinson said. “A.I. can only copy, it can only pretend. This band? They can really play!” He’ll be joined by the same line-up from his last tour: guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund, bassist Tanya O’Callaghan, keyboardist Mistheria and drummer Dave Moreno.
After Belfast in June, Dickinson returns for six British shows with Evergrey at the end of the autumn leg. The run starts at The Engine Shed in Lincoln on 27 November and continues at the O2 Academy Glasgow on 28 November, the O2 Apollo Manchester on 30 November, the O2 Academy Bristol on 1 December, London’s Eventim Apollo on 3 December and the O2 Academy Birmingham on 4 December.
His most recent UK show came in July, when Iron Maiden headlined Knebworth Park as part of ‘Run For Your Lives’, the band’s 50th anniversary tour. Maiden had planned to take 2027 off, but has since added 16 North American dates for April and May as the tour’s final leg.
As a solo artist, Dickinson wrapped ‘The Mandrake Project’ tour on 5 October 2025 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, after 71 shows across three continents.
Dickinson recorded the new album in January and February at Dave Grohl‘s Studio 606 in Los Angeles with producer Brendan Duffey. It has no title yet, and he is aiming to release it in 2027, three years after ‘The Mandrake Project’, which itself arrived 19 years after 2005’s ‘Tyranny of Souls’.
“We did 16 tracks in 21 days, all 100 percent live,” he told Rolling Stone in April. “It’s like the anti-A.I. generation.” In August, he told Consequence the record is “heavy as shit” and made clear it is not a ‘Mandrake’ sequel, describing it as “kind of stand-alone”, with just one song that “has a bit of something to do with ‘Mandrake'”.
His son, Austin Dickinson, singer of Rise to Remain and As Lions, wrote one of the songs. “It’s gonna be one of the key tracks on the record,” Bruce said at San Diego Comic-Con. Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser plays percussion on the album, and Dickinson has said four or five videos are planned, with some music out before the end of the year.
