Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson sang the American national anthem at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium, on Sep 14th, 2025 .
The English musician was asked to perform the song at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first home game of the season against the Seattle Seahawks, noting on Instagram that it was “a huge honor” to be invited. Dickinson left the field to chants of “U.S.A! U.S.A!”
“I’ll let you in to a secret,” Dickinson said in a recent interview on podcast The Charismatic Voice. “I’ve got to sing the national anthem in Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They’ve asked me to do this. I’m going to do it a cappella and stuff, and as long as you start at the right place, you’re good to go.”
Watch the performance below.
Dickinson is currently on the North American leg of his Mandrake Project solo tour. It continues on Tuesday in Toronto before heading to Montreal later this week. The tour end in Los Angeles on October 5th with a show at the Wiltern.

Wow, hell yes!! Thx D ;o[}=== Up the Irons. The boys put on anincredible show Friday nite, as I was in the pit all evening. Then the he flies to Pittsburg, does the Anthem and returns to LA to do their 2nd date at BMO in LA in the next 15 minutes. My current time as I write in ORegon being 20:26 hrs. So awesome, he was running around like a twenty year old and didn’t miss a note. These guys ARE the best Heavy Metal band in existence. \m/ \m/ LA was great and the crowd was intense. Megadeth shredded and Anthrax was a good crowd starter.
Yes, it is. I just felt like a a doofus for thinking he traveled back and forth-lol
Cheers
Hi Dana. I initially thought this performance & game happened today, as you can tell in what I wrote. I forgot this happened last year on 9/14/25. Or am I missing something? ;[0== If you wouldn’t mind could you delete my messages under this thread. Thank you-Brent in ORegon.
No, the source I got this from incorrectly labeled this as happening this weekend. My supreme apologies, you were correct, it occurred last year, but still cool, nonetheless.
No worries and at all. Cheers \m/
Absolutely cool yes!!! Patiently waiting for Maiden, Priest or Metallica to do a Super Bowl half time show (LOL)
I think Priest would do it before Maiden or METALLICA would do it. Just my 2cents.
