IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson spoke about changes in the music industry, specifically regarding ticket prices and streaming services, on Tuesday night (May 5) at the world premiere of the documentary 'Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition' held in London.

He stated that costs keep going up and everything else, but ticket prices for shows can be eye-watering, especially when they're resold on secondary markets.

Dickinson previously talked about music industry changes and the fact that prices for high-profile shows can be expensive during a March interview with Mexico's ATMósferas Magazine.

He said: "The music industry has done two things.

On the one hand, if you're an artist, it's contracted, as in it's shrunk in terms of the amount of money you get paid for your art — unless you are some massive social media thing, or whatever it is, or unless you're a DJ who turns up with a memory stick and gets paid five times what a band gets paid.

And they have to split it eight ways, and he just turns up with his memory stick and pretends he's doing something, and goes away with a huge amount of money.

Dickinson continued: "I would never pay that price, but then again, I'm probably not a fan of that particular artist.

People who are, maybe they think it's worth it." The documentary covers MAIDEN's five-decade journey with unprecedented access to the band's official archives.

'Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition' will hit theaters for a limited time only beginning May 7, 2026, alongside a new key art by Spanish illustrator Alberto "Akirant" Quirantes.

The film is set to screen as part of over 50 shows worldwide in IRON MAIDEN's ongoing two-year "Run For Your Lives" world tour.
