Empire in December 2015 and further inspections, structural engineers have
advised that works to the roof structure will extend into April 2016. All shows up to and including the 18 April will be moved to other venues in London or rescheduled as necessary.

Islington Academy on 14 April. Tickets

Formed in 2001
in Southern California, the Iron Maidens have quickly established themselves as
one of the most notorious tribute act in the US, progressively expanding their
fame far and beyond the Americas. These five women have conquered the attention
of fans and fellow musicians with their musical prowess and electrifying live
shows, where they perform hits and fan favourites
from all phases of Iron Maiden’s career with appearances by mascot Eddie, the grim reaper, the devil
and more.
The Iron
Maidens are highly trained professionals with diversified musical backgrounds,
ranging from orchestral and musical theater to blues and rock. The line-up is
Linda ‘Nikki McBURRain’ McDonald on drums, Nikki ‘Davina Murray’ Stringfield and Courtney ‘Adriana Smith’ Cox on guitars, Kirsten ‘Bruce Chickinson’ Rosenberg on
vocals and Wanda ‘Steph
Harris’ Ortiz on bass.
While Iron Maiden’s
latest album hits the stores, the Iron Maidens celebrate the recent release of
their first full-length studio album, the first studio tribute CD to a band
ever recorded entirely by one artist; the cover artwork featuring a female
monster was designed by none other than Eddie’s
creator Derek Riggs.
