IRON MAIDEN EDDFEST 2026 Walk Through at Knebworth, England July 10 & 11,2026 Reporting Giles Lavery

[screaming] >> For the Metal Voice, I am Giles Lavery. That's right. And hey Jimmy, how you doing? So, we're at Iron Maiden at Knebworth. We're here. Look, there you go. And look what we found, a cemetery. Could Eddie about rise up like the Live After Death album cover out of that graveyard. Maybe tonight. So, yeah, we're going in. We're going to check out the Eddie museum, a whole bunch of cool stuff. So, uh can check in with you later. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Wow, it's just Iron Maiden mayhem here at Knebworth. There's all kinds of things that are related to Iron Maiden. There's a lot of old Eddies here, a lot of old stage props, and banners and backdrops and such. Peo- people are getting photos with them. Really cool. Around here is the one of the Somewhere in Time Eddies, or Somewhere Back in Time Eddies it may be. Pretty cool. That's really good. People kinds of people taking photos of them. Quite an environment today. >> Isn't this great? We got a No Prayer for the Dying Eddie here. They've really made every effort here today to turn this into like a Iron Maiden city. This is just incredible to walk around and see all the all the Iron Maiden motif banners. Presumably these were used as stage sets on some one of the early years tours. Well, if not, if if not, they look very similar to what was. Or they were made perhaps just for this event today. I really don't know. They are advertising a lot of stage sets are here to be to be seen. I want to try and find the X and the X Factor electric chair Eddie. I'd like to find that one. How cool is this? This is great. Power Slave, Seventh Son, Somewhere in Time. What a day. Oh, here we go. There's the Trooper Gus. Look at that, the Power Slave Eddie from the Power Slave 1984-85 [music] tour is right over there. Let's go check that out. And there we have it, a Seventh Son Eddie. I know these are not the original ice sculpture Eddies because Rasmus owns them. They're at his house. There's the X Factor, the Blaze Bayley's very first tour. That's the electric chair Eddie from the Blaze Bayley tour back in '95, '96. Here we have the Michael prophecy Eddie with the ball that was used on the I don't know if it's the Seventh Son tour or the when they redid the Seventh Son tour back in 2014. Very cool. There's our X Factor right there. They have a nice little board here where you can actually see what they they explain which tour each exhibit's from. Yeah, the Maiden one is uh 2012. That's that Mummy Sonny there. It's not the original 1988-89 88 rather. There's Blaze. And that's the electric chair ready there with Blaze. And then there's there's the real thing right there. Looking a little like he's had a few too many. handle And here it is, the piece de resis- donce, whatever that means. The main event. This is the 1984. This is the 1984 World Slavery Tour. 84-85. The Pharaoh head that you've all seen a hundred times on the Live After Death video gatefold LP or maybe if you're lucky even in person at the shows. There it is. That is it right there. Check it out. To me, this is kind of the main event of the Eddie museum. This used to open up and the Mummy would come out. I wish I could just put my hand on it. That'd be amazing, but I'm probably not allowed to do that, so Very, very cool. There it is. Look at that. We got more. Iron Maiden art. More Iron Maiden art. Very cool. That's really cool. >> And it's the tank, the matter of life and death tank. >> That's really, really cool. >> The whole of a tank. A better view of it this way, actually. Tank. >> It's all over now. Great show. There you go. >> Yes, boys. Stop getting in the back here. Oh, yeah. >> Hey.
