Iron Maiden are staging Eddfest, and alongside the music the event features the Infinite Dreams Experience, an on-site display of props and memorabilia drawn from the band's 50-year history. The exhibition matters because it gives fans a rare chance to see stage items up close, many of which have never been shown publicly outside of past tours. Creative director Ben Smallwood describes it as a way of "inviting the fans into the Maiden world" and offering greater access to the band's story.

The displayed items span from the 1980s to the band's most recent tours, with mascot Eddie featuring prominently throughout. Highlights include the "Clairvoyant" Eddie, a roughly three-metre-tall bust based on Derek Riggs' Seventh Son-era artwork and used on the Maiden England tour (2012-14), and the "Tank Commander" Eddie, which sat atop a tank turret on the A Matter Of Life And Death tour (2006-07). Smallwood notes the props' handmade character, though some items, such as the actual tank, will not fit in the display; the article's headline also references a large Baphomet statue from The Number Of The Beast.
