He has sold over 100 million records with Iron Maiden, made heavy metal history and fought his way back after a stroke that nearly ended his career – now Nicko McBrain tells this story in person.
The tour kick-off in Frankfurt is no coincidence: Wizard Live, a Frankfurt-based promoter, is sending a clear signal about the importance of the Rhine-Main region as a premier live entertainment destination.
“An Evening With Nicko McBrain” is part talk show, part stand-up, and entirely Nicko: humorous, open, charismatic. McBrain takes his audience on a journey through 42 years of Iron Maiden, through backstage legends, personal low points, his road to recovery after a stroke, his faith, his passion for classic cars – and, of course, the music that has shaped generations.
The content is based on his autobiography “Hello Boys And Girls!”, which is due for international release on 22 October 2026 and in German on 28 October 2026, published by Heyne Verlag. Those familiar with the book will experience the stories anew. Those who haven’t read it yet will find themselves wanting more by the end of the evening.
McBrain himself on the tour: “I’m thrilled and delighted to be taking these stories on tour. I’ve got LOADS of stories I want to tell you!”
