In a new interview with Gastão Moreira of Brazil's Kazagastão, IRON MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith spoke about the band's upcoming feature documentary, titled 'Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition', which hits theaters for a limited time only beginning May 7, 2026.

Asked if he has seen the film, Smith replied, "Yeah, I have.

And I really enjoyed it, which might sound funny, but when there's something on a big screen about you, it can be a bit — you wanna hide behind the chairs.

But I think it's a good document of the band, and I think fans will enjoy it.

There's a few things in there that have never come to light before, and it goes into depth on a few things." The documentary features interviews with prominent admirers like Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Chuck D, discussing IRON MAIDEN's influence on music, culture, and generations of fans worldwide.

Formed in East London in 1975, IRON MAIDEN has grown into one of the world's most influential and enduring rock bands, with a steady recording output beginning with their self-titled 1980 debut.

The band continues its two-year "Run For Your Lives" world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium earlier this year.

A recently announced, one-of-a-kind celebration named EddFest in historic Knebworth Park, England, on July 11 forms part of over 50 shows worldwide in 2026.
