Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has embarked on his first extensive North American solo tour in nearly three decades. The tour, titled “The Mandrake Project Live 2025,” is in support of his latest studio album of the same name and has been captured in its entirety in Houston, Texas, with the full show now available online, and you can watch it down below.
The concert, which took place on August 28 at the House of Blues, saw Dickinson deliver a powerhouse performance spanning his solo career, with a few nods to his Iron Maiden legacy. He was joined by his new backing band, which features guitarist Philip Näslund and Chris Declercq, alongside returning members Dave Moreno (drums), Mistheria (keyboards), and Tanya O’Callaghan (bass).
The performance was noted for its dynamic energy and a setlist that dove deep into Dickinson‘s discography. The show included the live debut of the track “Shadow of the Gods” from the new album, as well as the first-ever live performance of the Iron Maiden classic “Flash of the Blade.”
The setlist for the Houston show was as follows:
- “Accident Of Birth“
