Blaze Bayley, who participated in two albums—1995's “THE X FACTOR” and 1998's “VIRTUAL ELEVEN”—before leaving IRON MAIDEN following Bruce Dickinson's return, has embarked on a European tour performing every track from “THE X FACTOR,” which marks its 30th anniversary this year. This latest tour's October 11, 2025 performance in Jönköping, Sweden has been fully captured in an exceptional audience recording.
Featuring the entire “THE X FACTOR” album, the setlist includes songs never performed by Iron Maiden themselves, even extending to three B-sides. This comprehensive recreation of the full “THE X FACTOR” experience—currently impossible with the present Iron Maiden lineup—is an absolute must for die-hard fans.
Additionally, two songs not performed that night are included from the November 7th concert in Rome, Italy. Featuring Blaze's vocals, perfectly matching the album recordings, and the band's outstanding performance, this is an item that demands a reappraisal of him right now!
