When was the first Iron Maiden concert in Budapest? Could the band visit Hungary during communism?
During the communist era, it was rare for Western bands to perform in Eastern Europe due to government restrictions on Western music, which was often viewed as a symbol of rebellion and capitalist influence. However, Iron Maiden was able to break through these barriers. The band first performed in Budapest on August 17, 1984, during their World Slavery Tour, which supported the album Powerslave. This was a historic moment because they played in Budapest while Hungary was still under a communist regime, making them one of the few Western rock bands to perform in the Eastern Bloc at the time.
Since then, Iron Maiden has been to Budapest several times. They have performed in Budapest Sportarena several times, and Iron Maiden has also played at the popular Sziget Festival several times.
