Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden performed 'The Wicker Man' live at the Brixton Academy in London on March 19, 2002, during the 'Brave New World' tour, right after the release of their album 'Brave New World' in 2000. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, as it was their first studio work with lead singer Bruce Dickinson since 1992. The live recording captures the band's renewed energy and creative resurgence, showcasing their signature blend of heavy metal harmonies and theatrical stage presence. Fun fact: 'The Wicker Man' gained a cult following partly due to its ties to a classic horror film, and it became a staple in their live performances. Fans flocked to the Brixton Academy to experience not just the music, but the intense atmosphere that Iron Maiden is known for, celebrating their legendary contribution to heavy metal.
