Description: Attention all metalheads! Dive into the legendary world of Iron Maiden with this exclusive memorabilia from their iconic World Slavery Tour in 1985. This shirt is a must-have for any true fan, capturing the essence of one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Iron Maiden’s World Slavery Tour is one of the most celebrated tours in heavy metal history. Spanning from 1984 to 1985, it supported their fifth studio album, “Powerslave,” and featured elaborate stage designs inspired by ancient Egyptian themes. The tour set records for its extensive schedule, including 189 shows across multiple continents, and showcased the band’s unparalleled energy and musicianship. Iron Maiden’s influence on the metal genre is profound, with their complex compositions, powerful lyrics, and iconic imagery leaving a lasting legacy. This black and white shirt was originally purchased at the unforgettable Hollywood Sportatorium concert on Friday, February 15, 1985, in Hollywood, Florida. Check out our other listings for more memorabilia from this unforgettable show. This baseball-style, raglan-sleeve shirt features two-sided graphics that highlight the band’s epic tour visuals. The front showcases artwork from their “Powerslave” album, depicting an elaborate funerary ceremony in front of Eddie-as-Pharaoh on a monumental throne. He is flanked by two sphinxes. Above the scene, the band’s name “IRON MAIDEN” is prominently displayed in a stylized font, with “POWERSLAVE” written in bold letters below. The back of the shirt features a bust of Anubis, the dog-headed god who guides souls to the Underworld. Above Anubis are the wings of the Egyptian goddess Isis. The tour’s elaborate stage design and thematic elements were inspired by Egyptian mythology, tying into the overall theme. Below the central graphic, various countries are listed, representing the extensive locations of the tour. At the bottom, the text “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR 1984-85” is prominently displayed, highlighting the historical significance of this tour. Stored since the '80s, this shirt is sold in its original, as-found condition. It has pilling around armpits, stains, and is faded. It is unlikely the stains will ever lift - they are likely a permanent part of the shirt's history. There is also a small section at the hem where the serge stitches have released. See the images, please. Before rocking it, you may want to consider giving it a gentle wash to freshen it up by following the care instructions on the label: Machine wash warm or cold. Tumble dry.
