## Summary

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson made an unannounced guest appearance with Billie Joe Armstrong’s cover band The Coverups at Fandom and Z2’s annual San Diego Comic-Con party. They performed Mott the Hoople’s “All The Young Dudes”, a song Dickinson had previously recorded for his 1990 solo album, prompting a strong reaction from the audience.

The event took place on 23 July at FLOAT in San Diego’s Hard Rock Hotel and was presented by Xbox’s Halo: Campaign Evolved. The Coverups, led by Green Day’s Armstrong, perform covers rather than Green Day material; the article also notes that Dickinson has recorded 16 songs for a solo album expected no earlier than 2027.
