Yes, with a title like that it can only mean one thing - Heavy Metal GOD's Iron Maiden have returned once again to regain their ownership of the Brixton Academy! And with that being my favourite band and favourite venue being combined, I was extremely excited, to say the least.
I got to the venue about three and a half hours early to secure my place at the barrier, and as I was walking up Stockwell Road my face lit up at seeing Iron Maiden up above the Academy's door in the big red letters. By doors open time at 6:30 Brixton was a sea of black t-shirts with Eddie on. As soon as I got in it was a dash to the front and a brief wait before first support act and "India's Heaviest Band" Parikrama took to the stage to provide us with 4 helpings of their unique brand of Eastern-tinged hard rock. Not long after they had left the stage had Lauren Harris come pouncing on. Having missed her support set back at Earl's Court in December I was still yet to hear any of Lauren's stuff…
