BRITISH LION, led by Iron Maiden’s founder Steve Harris, return to the stage in 2025, to play a set of European shows this summer, including a one-off date in England. They will then embark on a major headline tour of the UK this winter, which includes a five night residency at London’s legendary Cart & Horses venue in Stratford where Iron Maiden played their first-ever gigs.

British Lion have performed there a number of times in recent years, with sold-out audiences revelling in the chance to see the formidable hard rock quintet in such intimate surroundings. These five shows will be additionally powerful as they come at the end of a year of celebrations for Iron Maiden’s 50th Anniversary, bringing Steve Harris back to what fans revere as the birthplace of Iron Maiden.

He comments "We're really happy to be doing a number of European shows in the summer as well a more extensive tour of the UK at the end of the year. It's great to be able to return to The Booking Hall in Dover, which is our only UK summer show ! It was under threat of closing last year but was saved with the support from British Lion and other music fans around the country! We look forward to seeing you all on the road!"

British Lion will be joined by special guest support acts at the UK and European headline shows. Tony Moore’s Awake will be special guests from Dover through to Newcastle while Stray will be special guests from Bradford through to London.
