The band was launched by vocalist Ivan Russo\u2014driven by a deep connection to Iron Maiden&#8217;s music\u2014with the aim of authentically recreating the sound and energy of the British metal legends and sharing that enthusiasm with fans in Northern Italy and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>* International Recognition<\/p>\n<p>2023 marked the band&#8217;s international debut; they performed in Switzerland and Germany for the first time. In 2024, the band reached another significant milestone: on March 15, they performed at London\u2019s &#8220;Cart &amp; Horses&#8221;\u2014known as the &#8220;Birthplace of Iron Maiden&#8221;\u2014becoming the only active Italian tribute band to feature in the legendary venue&#8217;s official program. Since then, the band has performed regularly at the Cart &amp; Horses, including a completely sold-out show in May 2026. The renowned venue has hailed the band as &#8220;Italy&#8217;s premium Maiden tribute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also in 2024, the official fan club was established. In 2026, the band headlined a sold-out show at the historic &#8220;Eddie\u2019s Dive Bar&#8221; (located within the &#8220;Magazzini Generali&#8221; complex in Milan); this official event served as a lead-up to Iron Maiden&#8217;s historic concert at Milan&#8217;s San Siro Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The band was defined by magazines such as *Metal Hammer* and *Classic Rock* as the &#8220;best Italian Iron Maiden tribute band&#8221; (2026).<\/p>\n<p>Notable collaborations include work with guitarists Terry Rance and Terry Wapram (both early Iron Maiden members), Chris Dale (bassist for Bruce Dickinson on the *Skunkworks* solo album), and Joe Lazarus (Steve Harris\u2019s nephew and a renowned session drummer in the UK and Europe).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Ides of March&#8221; deliver an energetic live experience, capturing the essence and spectacular stage presence of Iron Maiden with their electrifying shows. Featuring authentic costumes, custom digital stage visuals, a setlist ranging from anthems to the British band&#8217;s greatest classics, and a live appearance by an &#8220;Eddie&#8221; mascot performer, The Ides of March offer a truly thrilling Iron Maiden concert experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1251,"menu_order":6,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-band":[12],"class_list":["post-964","band","type-band","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-band-international-tribute"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Ides Of March - Iron Maiden | Right Now<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rightnowbooking.com\/en\/band\/the-ides-of-march\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Ides Of March - Iron Maiden | Right Now\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An energetic tribute band from Milan is taking the European metal scene by storm. &#8220;The Ides Of March&#8221; is a passionate and dynamic Iron Maiden tribute band formed in Milan in 2019.
