Iron Maiden 50th Anniversary World Slavery Tour 85-85 Powerslave Pharaoh Eddie Merch T-Shirt

This official Iron Maiden 50th Anniversary merchandise t-shirt commemorates one of heavy metal’s most legendary and grueling concert tours, the World Slavery Tour, which supported the band’s iconic fifth studio album Powerslave from August 9, 1984, to July 5, 1985, spanning an exhausting 331 days with 189 shows across the globe. The World Slavery Tour is widely regarded as Iron Maiden’s most ambitious and arduous touring effort, featuring an elaborate Egyptian-themed stage production with massive 30-foot mummified Eddie props, sarcophagi, and extensive pyrotechnics that vocalist Bruce Dickinson described as something that “could set it up in small theatres or big arenas and it would always look fantastic”. This tour saw the band perform before one of their largest audiences ever, approximately 350,000 people at Brazil’s inaugural Rock in Rio festival in 1985, and the performances were immortalized in the band’s first full-length live album Live After Death, recorded at London’s Hammersmith Odeon and Long Beach Arena. The Powerslave album, released on September 3, 1984, in Europe, featured the hit singles “2 Minutes to Midnight” and “Aces High” alongside the epic 13-minute masterpiece “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” establishing a distinctive Ancient Egyptian aesthetic centered around the Pharaoh Eddie character that became synonymous with this era of Iron Maiden’s career. As Iron Maiden celebrates their 50th anniversary in 2025 with the Run For Your Lives World Tour, which kicked off on May 27, 2025, in Budapest and includes songs from their first nine albums like “Powerslave” and “2 Minutes to Midnight” in the setlist, this commemorative merchandise piece serves as a tribute to the legendary 1984-85 tour that defined an entire generation of heavy metal performance. The classic Powerslave-era mummified Eddie design featured on this t-shirt represents one of the most recognizable and beloved incarnations of Iron Maiden’s iconic mascot, making this official band merchandise an essential collectible for fans who appreciate the band’s rich touring history and their contribution to shaping heavy metal culture over five decades.​
