Watch Bruce Dickinson cover All The Young Dudes with Billie Joe Armstrong and The Coverups at San Diego Comic-Con

In what might be 2026’s biggest and most unexpected crossover events, Billie Joe Armstrong and Bruce Dickinson joined forces on stage in San Diego with Billie’s band The Coverups. .

The Coverups were headlining the annual party that kicks off San Diego Comic-Con when the Iron Maiden main man joined them to play Mott the Hoople’s All The Young Dudes, which Bruce had previously recorded on his 1990 solo album Tattooed Millionaire.

Naturally, they smashed it. Check it out below:

The Coverups also played a huge selection of classic rock hits during their set, which included covers of Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train, Bryan Adams’ Summer of ‘69, Rockaway Beach by Ramones and more.
