50 (NOT)WASTED YEARS at CART & HORSES!
Celebrating 50 years of Iron Maiden where their residency began in 1976…
What better way to get in the mood for Maiden’s massive Eddfest at Knebworth than by partying at the birthplace of it all?
The legendary Cart & Horses hosted Maiden’s very first gig on 9th June 1976 and on 9th June 2026, we’re celebrating it again… 50 years later.
50 Wasted Years at Cart & Horses is a night FOR FANS:

A special sing-along screening of the iconic Live After Death (not seated—this is a gig, and we’re here to ROCK)
Step into the Powerslave era and experience Maiden like before, surrounded by Maiden Fans, where it all started.

More madness awaits:
