The Maiden Unitedare unquestionably the best Iron Maiden tribute band on the planet. They rework the classic Maiden anthems in their own, unique way, and this year Greece and An club are on the ”15 Trooper Salutes” Tour itinerary. And in their line-up they'll have the one and only Dennis Stratton, Iron Maiden's guitarist on their self-titled 1980 debut, as well as on the “Live!! + One” EP, recorded that same year at London's famous Marquee Club. The album was initially released in Japan only, before being reissued in 1984 with an expanded tracklist, exclusively for the Greek market! See you on the stage of An Club (Facebook, Instagram).

How it all began...
The Dutch Iron Maiden fan club asked Joey Bruers to put on a special show, something other than the usual tribute or cover band. Together with musicians from various bands, he performed a set of reworked, acoustic Maiden songs. The reaction from the crowd was overwhelming. The idea became a show, and the show then became a project. A project that brings all kinds of musicians and fans from all over the world together to celebrate the music.
With 5 studio albums and live shows across Europe, this project presents classic Iron Maiden songs in a redesigned form. Acoustic reworkings that transform the songs into something Iron Maiden fans would never have imagined hearing. Over the years, some 40 musicians have joined us on stage or in the studio.
Here's what they themselves have to say about the Greek shows: <<We are incredibly excited to be returning to An Club in Athens. Our previous experience there was simply amazing and we can't wait to get back on that stage. Audiences in Greece have always shown incredible energy and passion for our music, and we are determined to give them a night to remember>>.
