BLAZE BAYLEY (ex Iron Maiden / Wolfsbane)

Event information

BLAZE BAYLEY started his musical career as the lead vocalist of Tamworth heavy metal/hard rock band Wolfsbane, upon their formation in 1984.

When Bruce Dickinson departed fellow English heavy metal band Iron Maiden in 1993, Bayley was chosen as his replacement in 1994 after hundreds of auditions. His departure from Wolfsbane led to their disbandment later on that year.

His first album with Maiden was The X Factor, released in 1995. Bayley went on to tour with the band in support of the album. Another Iron Maiden album with Bayley on vocals, Virtual XI was released in 1998.

In February 1999, when Iron Maiden announced that vocalist Bruce Dickinson was returning to the band, Bayley departed by mutual consent, and he remains on good terms with his former bandmates.
In 2007, Wolfsbane reformed for a one-off performance, with Bayley again taking up vocal and frontman duties. They supported The Wildhearts on a short UK tour in December 2007

Following Blaze Bayley's departure from Iron Maiden in 1999, he formed his own band, Blaze.

DAKESIS are a five piece Prog-Power Metal band from Birmingham, UK.

Mixing European symphonic and power metal influences with homegrown classic NWOBHM, a heavy dose of tongue-in-cheek cheese and a fair dash of modern Prog, Dakesis have carved a unique niche in the UK live music scene with their fresh and modern take on a classic sound.

Formed by front-man Wayne in 2009, the band quickly established themselves as a formidable live act with a relentless gigging schedule and a rapidly expanding fanbase.
The self titled debut demo "Dakesis" sold out within a month in early 2010 and earned the band many glowing reviews, featured radio spots on shows up and down the country and two UK festival slots on the back of it's success.
After a year of constant gigging and new material, the band are now in the studio recording their full debut album "Trial by Fire" which is expected to be ready for release by the end of summer '10, at which point the band will be embarking on their first UK tour.
