Join us as we review EddFest 2026, Iron Maiden's epic 50th anniversary celebration at Knebworth. We break down Iron Maiden's headline performance, supporting sets from The Darkness and Blaze Bayley, plus our thoughts on the Infinite Dreams museum, themed attractions, the overall festival atmosphere, and how the event delivered as a one-of-a-kind celebration of Maiden's legacy. Was EddFest a triumph worthy of becoming a regular festival? Tune in as we discuss the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
