CONCERT: Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden) / Absolva

BLAZE BAYLEY - Metal Hall of Fame inductee - is a singer/songwriter born 29th May 1963 in Birmingham, England. Having started his professional music career in WOLFSBANE in 1984, he was elevated to global heights when he joined IRON MAIDEN with whom he released two albums ("X-Factor" and "Virtual XI") and toured worldwide between 1994 and 1999.

After leaving IRON MAIDEN, Blaze embarked on a solo career, during which he has released 10 full-length studio albums, plus live albums, live DVDs and compilations. He's also enjoyed an enviable reputation as one of the hardest working artists touring around.

During these recent years Blaze has toured widely in the UK, Europe, North America and Latin America. He’s become particularly recognised as an independent artist dedicated and remarkably connected with his fans, as well as for his unmistakable high energy, no-nonsense, live performances.

During the period 2014 to present date, Blaze has benefitted from a settled line-up for his backing band, picked from British melodic metal band ABSOLVA - Christopher Appleton (lead guitar), Luke Appleton (power guitar), Martin Mcnee (drums) and Karl Schramm (bass).

In 2024 Blaze will release his latest studio album "Circle Of Stone" and going on tour to promote that release. Blaze will also be celebrating 30 years since Iron Maiden with his ‘30th Anniversary Iron Maiden’ shows.
