Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson mocked President Trump’s recent executive order to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America during the metal band’s North American tour kickoff show in Toronto on Saturday night.
The frontman told the audience at Scotiabank Arena (watch below), “Hello Canada … we got here. We crossed the Lake of Ontario. And later this year, we’ll be crossing the Gulf of Mexico. But apart from the ridiculous state of the world, how the fuck are you lot tonight? All right?” Later on in the set, he yelled, “Scream for me, Lake Ontario!”
The metal legend’s comments also poked fun at Trump’s January 2025 order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. See a recap, photo gallery, and video footage from the tour kickoff here, and pick up tickets to the upcoming shows here.
