Iron Maiden formed on Christmas Day, December 25, 1975, in Leyton, East London, by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band quickly became a key figure in the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Early years saw a fluid lineup, but the core members came to include Harris, lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers. Their early albums, including the 1980 debut “Iron Maiden,” 1981’s “Killers,” and 1982’s “The Number of the Beast,” achieved significant commercial success and established their sound. The addition of Bruce Dickinson in 1981 marked a notable turning point, contributing to the widespread acclaim and commercial success of “The Number of the Beast,” which has sold close to 20 million copies worldwide.
Throughout the 1980s, Iron Maiden consistently released successful albums and embarked on ambitious world tours. “Piece of Mind” (1983) and “Powerslave” (1984) further solidified their global reach, with tours like the World Slavery Tour playing to millions of fans. This period also saw them make their South American debut, co-headlining Rock in Rio in front of a massive audience. Experimentation with musical elements was evident in “Somewhere in Time” (1986) and “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” (1988), the latter being their first concept album to include keyboards. Despite some lineup changes in the 1990s, including Bruce Dickinson’s departure and return in 1999 alongside Adrian Smith, the band experienced a resurgence in popularity. Subsequent albums such as “Brave New World” (2000), “The Final Frontier” (2010), “The Book of Souls” (2015), and “Senjutsu” (2021) have consistently topped charts in numerous countries, demonstrating their enduring appeal and artistic vitality.
Over nearly five decades, Iron Maiden has produced 41 albums, featuring 17 studio releases, 13 live albums, and a range of EPs and compilations. They have sold over 130 million albums globally and accumulated more than 600 certifications. Their concert tours are known for their scale, with over 2,500 shows played in 64 countries as of October 2019. The band’s iconic mascot, Eddie, has been featured on almost all their releases and is a recognizable symbol in heavy metal culture. Recognizing their impact, Iron Maiden has received multiple industry awards, including Grammy and Brit Awards, and has been twice nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2025, they are set to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a new world tour and a commemorative coin from the Royal Mint.
