The Beast UK bring their tribute to Iron Maiden to O2 Academy Bournemouth on 10 September 2026, recreating the band’s classic 1980s live sound. It is a single evening built around the songs and stagecraft that made Iron Maiden one of British heavy metal’s defining names, staged at one of the town’s best-known music venues.
What to expect
The night looks back to the era that shaped Iron Maiden’s reputation, with The Beast UK delivering the anthems and driving energy of the band’s 1980s heyday. Expect a full live gig rather than a backing-track set, with the volume and atmosphere of a proper metal show in an intimate room. The full running order is set by the organisers, so it is worth checking the venue’s official listing for the latest details.
