Bruce Dickinson is taking his solo band back on the road. The Iron Maiden singer has announced the ‘PsychoGod Tour 2027’, 31 European dates between June and December that will coincide with the release of his eighth studio album.
The tour comes in two legs. The first opens June 14th at the Ulster Hall in Belfast and wraps in early July with three festival appearances: Spain’s Rock Imperium, Germany’s Rockharz and the Czech Republic’s Masters of Rock. The second, with Swedish prog-metal band Evergrey in support, runs from November 10th in Warsaw to December 10th at L’Olympia in Paris. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 30th, at brucedickinsonhq.com.
“What we do is real and that’s so important right now,” Dickinson said. “A.I. can only copy, it can only pretend. This band? They can really play!” He’ll be joined by the same lineup from his last tour: guitarists Chris Declercq and Philip Näslund, bassist Tanya O’Callaghan, keyboardist Mistheria and drummer Dave Moreno.
North American fans will see Dickinson sooner, but with Iron Maiden. The band, which had planned to take 2027 off, added 16 North American dates for April and May as the third and final leg of ‘Run For Your Lives’, its 50th anniversary tour. The run opens April 14th at the Tacoma Dome and wraps May 16th at Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, two days after a headlining set at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio.
“We can’t get everywhere but we can try!” Steve Harris said when the dates were announced. Maiden is currently in South America, with its final 2026 shows coming in November in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
Dickinson’s last solo tour of the U.S. came at the end of ‘The Mandrake Project’ cycle. That leg opened August 22nd, 2025, at the House of Blues in Anaheim and wrapped October 5th at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, closing a tour that totaled 71 shows across three continents. No North American solo dates have been announced for ‘PsychoGod’.
Dickinson recorded the new album in January and February at Dave Grohl‘s Studio 606 in Los Angeles with producer Brendan Duffey. It doesn’t have a title yet, and he’s aiming to release it in 2027, just three years after ‘The Mandrake Project’, which itself arrived 19 years after 2005’s ‘Tyranny of Souls’.
“We did 16 tracks in 21 days, all 100 percent live,” he told Rolling Stone in April. “It’s like the anti-A.I. generation.” In August, he told Consequence the record is “heavy as shit” and made clear it isn’t a ‘Mandrake’ sequel. He described it as “kind of stand-alone,” with just one song that “has a bit of something to do with ‘Mandrake.'”
His son, Austin Dickinson, singer of Rise to Remain and As Lions, wrote one of the songs. “It’s gonna be one of the key tracks on the record,” Bruce said at San Diego Comic-Con. Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser plays percussion on the album. Dickinson has also said he planned to shoot four or five videos and that some of the music would be out before the end of the year.
