Former Iron Maiden vocalist Blaze Bayley will play a special set during the heavy metal titans’ two-day festival at Stevenage’s Knebworth Park in July.
The singer, who fronted Maiden from 1994 to ’99, will perform on the Friday night (July 10) of the Eddfest event, before the headline band and their support acts The Darkness, The Hu, Airbourne and The Almighty take the stage on the Saturday (July 11).
Bayley’s set will consist exclusively of material from his time in Maiden. He was involved in two of their studio albums, The X Factor (1995) and Virtual XI (1998), and also took part in the recording of original material for their 1996 compilation The Best Of The Beast.
