This week, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson announced two last-minute solo concerts at the world-famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, set to take place on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13.
The shows went on sale this morning, with tickets only available for purchase at the Whisky box office. The lucky fans who lined up early got a special treat and were greeted by Dickinson at the box office selling tickets and meeting fans.
Commented Dickinson: “As we were holed up in our North Hollywood rehearsal studio preparing for the tour, we thought that since rehearsals were going so well maybe we should have a little fun and do something last-minute here in L.A. Putting tickets for sale at an actual box office should remind people what it used to be like back when I started gigging!”
He added: “We’re raring to go and I’m just so excited to unleash this band on the world at the iconic Whisky A Go Go.”
In a video message announcing the first Whisky gig, Bruce said: “Hello, a quick update. Oh my God, here we are in rehearsals with the House Band Of Hell, which is actually what is gonna be at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles on Friday. The secret show, is not a secret anymore. 10 o’clock Friday morning, tickets go on sale. And when you turn up at the box office, you never know who you might meet. But anyway, never mind. So we’re gonna be there.“
“We are just absolutely stoked for this show,” he continued. “I mean, we were ready a week ago. I’ve been trying to calm them down. Honestly, it’s like having a lot of strange horny animals. [I have to] throw buckets of cold water over them. ‘Boys, stop’ — and girls. All equally. We are just ready to get it on. So ready for this tour.”
