Ion Maiden Formed in August 2018, The original line up was built around the core of four ex-members of some of best Maiden tribute bands in the UK at the time.
Since the band’s formation they have played in Europe , and various clubs all around the UK, one of these being in London at the Camden Underworld raising over £3,000 for Dianno Aid to help the Legend that is Paul Di’Anno with his treatments, Paul himself was blown away by the video footage that was sent to him in Croatia.
In early 2022 the band were honoured to be asked to open the “Birthplace of Iron Maiden” the Cart & Horses after its lengthy refurbishment, with support from Airforce, whose Drummer is none other than Doug Sampson ex Iron Maiden who featured on the original soundhouse tapes.
