British Lion return to the stage in 2026, with a very special show in a very special place. For the first time ever, they will be performing in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, a city that has a strong connection with Steve.
The island nation, sitting between Cuba and the state of Florida, with strong historic links to Britain dating back to the 17th Century, became a sovereign member of the Commonwealth in 1973, and in 1977 Island Records founder Chris Blackwell established the legendary Compass Point Studios in Nassau, where the likes of ACDC, Robert Palmer, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Talking Heads and more recorded over the years.
In 1983 Iron Maiden recorded their fourth album Piece Of Mind at Compass Point Studios, and continued to record there for both their Powerslave and Somewhere In Time albums in the 1980s. In 2010 they returned to Nassau and Compass Point Studios once again for the recording of The Final Frontier album.
However, despite the long history of world-famous albums being made in the Bahamas, very few international artists have performed shows there. In a historic first for rock and metal, Steve will be taking to the stage for his debut live performance in the Bahamas, with BRITISH LION on April 8th at John Watling’s Distillery.
This show, supported by Tony Moore’s Awake, takes place just before BRITISH LION join the line-up for the five-day MONSTERS OF ROCK cruise in the Caribbean, which runs from April 12th – 17th.

British Lion are excited to announce their return to the stage in 2025, to play a set of European shows this summer, including a one-off date in England. They will then embark on a major headline tour of the UK this winter, which includes a five night residency at London’s legendary Cart & Horses venue in Stratford where Iron Maiden played their first-ever gigs.
British Lion have performed there a number of times in recent years, with sold-out audiences revelling in the chance to see the formidable hard rock quintet in such intimate surroundings. These five shows will be additionally powerful as they come at the end of a year of celebrations for Iron Maiden’s 50th Anniversary, bringing Steve Harris back to what fans revere as the birthplace of Iron Maiden.
He comments “We’re really happy to be doing a number of European shows in the summer as well as a more extensive tour of the UK at the end of the year. It’s great to be able to return to The Booking Hall in Dover, which is our only UK summer show ! It was under threat of closing last year but was saved with the support from British Lion and other music fans around the country! We look forward to seeing you all on the road!”
British Lion will be joined by special guest support acts at the UK and European headline shows. Tony Moore’s Awake will be special guests from Dover through to Newcastle while Stray will be special guests from Bradford through to London.
