The Cult Kings of NWOBHM Return Home!
Prepare for a night of pure British Heavy Metal as the legendary ELIXIR returns to the iconic Cart & Horses on Saturday, April 18th, 2026.
Hailing from the heart of the 80s London scene, Elixir cemented their status in metal history with the 1986 masterpiece "The Son Of Odin"—an album recently hailed by Metal Hammer as one of the "25 Greatest Power Metal Albums" of all time.
Their storied history is woven into the fabric of London metal, from recording with the late, great Clive Burr (Iron Maiden) on the Lethal Potion sessions to their triumphant 21st-century resurgence. With six studio albums under their belt—including the critically acclaimed Voyage Of The Eagle (Metal Hammer’s #1 Album of the Year, 2020)—Elixir continues to prove why they are the undisputed masters of the genre.
There is no better place to witness their power than the Cart & Horses, the legendary "Birthplace of Iron Maiden." After their sold-out appearance in 2023, the band returns to these hallowed grounds for an intimate, high-energy performance that no true NWOBHM disciple can afford to miss.
Relive the legacy. Feel the thunder. The Son of Odin rides again!
