Bruce Dickinson announces more solo shows in Scandinavia

Having set the rock and metal world alight with the announcement of a forthcoming solo album and tour dates, further shows on Bruce Dickinson’s “The Mandrake Project” European tour are revealed today.

Dickinson and his phenomenal band – which features guitarist Roy Z, drummer Dave Moreno, bass-player Tanya O’Callaghan and keyboard maestro Mistheria – will be playing three additional shows in June.

11^th June – Grona Lund, Stockholm, SWEDEN
13^th June – House Of Culture, Helsinki, FINLAND
14^th June – Noblessner Foundry, Tallinn, ESTONIA

The first single from Bruce Dickinson will be “Afterglow of Ragnarok“, a dramatic and epic track which introduces the world not just to the music of the album but to the compelling narrative that forms the basis of “The Mandrake Project”. It will be released on December 1^st as a collectable vinyl 7” single, that includes an eight-page comic book. The single also features Dickinson’s original solo demo version of the song “If Eternity Should Fail“, which first appeared on Iron Maiden’s album “The Book Of Souls” in 2015.

“It was important to set the tone of the project with this track,” Dickinson explains. “As befitting its title, it’s a heavy song and there’s a great big riff driving it…but there’s also a real melody in the chorus that displays the light and shade that the rest of the album brings… and just wait until you see the video!”

Dickinson previously revealed, “This album has been a very personal journey for me and I am extremely proud of it. Roy Z and I have been planning, writing and recording it for years, and I am very excited for people to finally hear it. I’m even more excited at the prospect of getting out on the road with this amazing band that we have put together, to be able to bring it to life. As you can see, we’re playing as many shows as we can, in as many places as possible, for as many people as we can!”

“The Mandrake Project” will be Dickinson’s seventh solo album and his first since “Tyranny Of Souls” in 2005. It will be released via BMG worldwide on multiple formats.
