If you thought the Iron Maiden 50th-anniversary bash at Knebworth couldn't get any bigger, think again. The band have just announced that former frontman Blaze Bayley will be headlining the Maidenville stage on Friday night.

Gig Review: Blaze Bayley / Prymå – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (18th September 2024)
It’s been a couple of years since I last caught up with one of my favourite singers, but here we are again at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow to see the fabulous Blaze Bayley and the Absolva boys on tour with his new album Circle of Stone.

Gig Review: Blaze Bayley / Absolva – The Patriot, Crumlin (9th March 2023)

Gig Review: Blaze Bayley / Vice – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (10th April 2019)
I don't head out to many gigs these days, but after being absolutely blown away by Blaze's performance at Sabaton Open Air last year, I wasn't going to miss out on a full headlining show. As a bonus, Manchester's Vice were opening (the support band varies across the tour) and I've also enjoyed seeing them … Continue reading Gig Review: Blaze Bayley / Vice – Ivory Blacks, Glasgow (10th April 2019)
