Reflecting on this monumental journey, Dickinson shared his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to be able to take The Mandrake Project out for a proper tour of North America. Last year we did a couple of sold-out U.S. West Coast dates before heading to South America, and the response was just incredible. This time we will add ‘Shadow of … , plus a few other gems, so we are really looking forward … .”

Joining Dickinson on this odyssey are Philip Naslund and Chris DeClercq on guitars, weaving intricate riffs that pierce the soul. Dave Moreno on drums, delivering thunderous beats that resonate with primal energy. Mistheria on keyboards, adding layers of atmospheric depth. Tanya O’Callaghan on bass, grounding the ensemble with pulsating rhythms.
