Eddfest To Celebrate Iron Maiden’s Anniversary
Eddfest, named after Iron Maiden’s longtime mascot, will celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary at Knebworth Park, July 10th and 11th.
“After the monumental shows in the U.K. last year, we knew that if we were going to play the U.K. in 2026, it had to be very different,” explains Maiden manager, Ron Smallwood. “So we chose Knebworth Park as it gives us the space required — which is just not available in stadiums — to put together something groundbreaking for our fans by creating a ‘Maiden world’ for them.”
‘Maiden world’ features themed areas and bars, experiences and live music.
Maidenville will offer Eddie’s Dive Bar, a second stage for music and entertainment, the Unfair Funfair featuring rides and Eddie-themed Funfair Games, plus Eddie’s Emporium.
