English metal singer Blaze Bayley has announced a six-date tour of Ireland for February 2024, celebrating the 30th anniversary of his Iron Maiden‘s joining.
Performing hits from “The X Factor” and “Virtual XL”, the former Iron Maiden vocalist will be playing in Warrenpoint, Omagh, Belfast, Dublin, Limerick, and Cork this coming February, with UK melodic metal unit Absolva as special guests.
Tickets for “Blaze Bayley Iron Maiden XXX Anniversary” will go on pre-sale on Saturday, June 24 at 9 am, exclusively via SD Entertainment, and general public on Monday, June 26 at 9 am local time.

Bayley started his career as a professional singer with Wolfsbane in 1984. The Birmingham-born musician fronted Iron Maiden between 1994 and 1999, touring worldwide and releasing two studio LPs – “The X Factor”, and ‘Virtual XI”, both of which achieved top twenty status in many countries.
