Pophouse Acquires Stake in Iron Maiden Catalog and Eddie Rights

The deal will fund immersive exhibitions, a filmed tour project and a digital universe to expand the band’s catalogue to new audiences.

Overview

  • Pophouse announced on Tuesday that it has taken a stake in Iron Maiden’s publishing, masters and name, image and likeness rights, a move the company and the band say will speed planned creative projects.
  • Their first joint project debuted at Eddfest in Knebworth with the Infinite Dreams Museum Experience and an expanded 'Maidenville' of Eddie-themed attractions that are already open to fans.
  • Pophouse and Iron Maiden are filming the ongoing Run For Your Lives world tour for a planned cinematic release and say they will develop further interactive fan experiences and a digital universe centered on the mascot Eddie.
  • Multiple outlets report the firm bought roughly a 50% stake in the assets but both sides have not disclosed financial terms, and Pophouse’s prior catalogue deals provide context for likely valuations.
  • Pophouse brings a track record with artist‑led projects such as ABBA Voyage and the Avicii Experience, and the band’s managers say the partnership aims to grow revenue and audiences while keeping a fan‑first creative approach, so look for new merchandising, gaming and filmed releases next.
