Iron Maiden's Live Is Live 2026 headline show complete with Epica, Testament, Doro and Fleddy Melculy • GRIMM Gent

Live Is Live has revealed the full line-up for the highly anticipated Iron Maiden headline show on Monday, June 29, 2026, at Antwerp’s Middenvijver Park. Joining the legendary British heavy metal icons are Dutch symphonic metal giants Epica, American thrash veterans Testament, German metal pioneer Doro, and Belgian crowd favourites Fleddy Melculy.

Headliners Iron Maiden will bring their spectacular new production to Antwerp, celebrating the band’s early catalogue with a set spanning their first nine studio albums, from Iron Maiden through Fear of the Dark. Fans can expect a career-spanning performance packed with classic songs, elaborate stage production, and the ever-present Eddie.

Epica‘s appearance will be particularly special, as it marks the band’s only Belgian performance of 2026. Fresh from the release cycle of their latest album Aspiral, the symphonic metal outfit promises a grand-scale show combining orchestral arrangements, powerful vocals from Simone Simons, and the band’s trademark cinematic sound.

Thrash metal legends Testament will add a dose of Bay Area aggression to the bill, while Doro celebrates four decades in heavy metal with a set expected to feature both solo material and classics from Warlock. Meanwhile, Fleddy Melculy continue their tenth anniversary celebrations, bringing their unique blend of humour, heavy riffs and Belgian metal attitude to the festival stage.

With Iron Maiden, Epica, Testament, Doro and Fleddy Melculy sharing the same stage, Monday, June 29 is shaping up to be one of the standout heavy music events of the Belgian summer festival season.
