Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson is an experienced fencing competitor after being introduced to the sport at the age of 11. On January 19th, he appeared at the Circuit Européen 2025 fencing tournament in Faches-Thumesnil, France as a competitor, representing Britain. He finished 13th in the overall standings out of 31 fencers in the “Veterans” category. Check out the board here.
Video of Dickinson in action at the tournament was shot by his wife, Leana Dolci, and was shared online via Eddie The Head Fan Club. Check it out below.
Iron Maiden recently shared the new video below, in which Dickinson said goodbye to 2024, and hello to 2025 and the band’s Run For Your Lives World Tour 2025-26.
Says Bruce, “Right, hello folks. You know, this is my tour pass for 2024. That’ll get me anywhere in 2024, but I don’t need that anymore now because 2025 is gonna be something special. Not just because of the tour pass, honestly. We are pushing the boat out with the tour. Not that I need to tell anybody, ’cause basically the tour is sold out already. So for those of you who have bought tickets, which is like all of you, it’s gonna be really, really cool. I’m really looking forward to it. We’re gonna be doing stuff we’ve never, ever done before, and it’ll be a setlist for the ages. So, I’ll see you there. And it’s not gonna stop in 2025. It’s gonna roll into 2026 ’cause there’s parts of the world that we need to get to, that we can’t get to in 2025. So there you go.”
The Run For Your Lives tour is set to launch on May 27 at Budapest Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. Find the complete tour itinerary, and tickets where still available, here.
