HorrorHound Weekend returns to Cincinnati September 12–14, 2025 – and this year, they’re celebrating a major milestone: the company’s 20th anniversary. For two decades, they’ve proudly served the horror community through our magazines, conventions and events, podcasts, special edition publications, a record label, and so much more. Now, they’re inviting fans to join them for an unforgettable weekend as part of that celebration.
“As part of this landmark event, we have a major guest announcement that’s set to shake the foundation: none other than Bruce Dickinson, the legendary frontman of Iron Maiden. Known for his soaring vocals and larger-than-life stage presence, Bruce has helped shape the sound and spirit of heavy metal for generations. His voice powered some of Iron Maiden’s most iconic albums – including The Number Of The Beast, Powerslave, and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. In addition to his work with Iron Maiden, Dickinson has forged a powerful solo career with critically acclaimed albums such as Balls To Picasso, Accident Of Birth and The Chemical Wedding, further showcasing his depth and range as a musician. This summer he will embark on his first extensive North American solo tour in almost 30 years in support of his current studio album, The Mandrake Project.
Beyond music, Bruce Dickinson is also a pilot, broadcaster, television host and a published author. In 2024 Dickinson partnered with Z2 and released a companion comic series, conceived and written by Dickinson, as an integral part of The Mandrake Project identity to thunderous acclaim and on August 5, 2025, Z2 Comics will release The Mandrake Project: Year One which collects the first four issues in the series.
Dickinson’s appearance at HHW 2025 marks an extremely rare chance for fans to meet this legendary performer face-to-face.
And that’s just the beginning. As always, HorrorHound Weekend will bring together some of the biggest names in horror and pop culture, with more guest announcements, panels, screenings, and surprises still to come. Whether you’re a returning attendee or joining us for the first time, this show promises to be one of our most exciting yet.”

The tour also includes a quick return to Brazil for the prestigious “The Town” Festival at the City of Light in Sao Paulo.
“We are thrilled to be able to take The Mandrake Project out for a proper tour of North America,” enthuses Bruce Dickinson. “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 The Gods’ to the setlist for this incredible band to perform plus a few other gems so we are really looking forward to seeing our fans again all over the country and for a couple of shows up in Canada.”
The Mandrake Project immediately became a global hit, topping the albums charts In Germany and Sweden, as well as entering the Official Album Charts at #3 in the UK and hitting Top 5 on the Top Album Sales charts in the US.
