Bruce Dickinson may receive an Honorary Citizenship title in Curitiba during his visit to the city. The musician will perform a show as part of his new tour, which will take place on April 24, 2024.
This news may seem bizarre, but Honorary Citizenship is the highest honor that the Chamber grants to people born outside of Curitiba.
Curitiba City Council website , the draft legislative decree, authored by councilors Eder Borges and Nori Seto , was voted on and approved by a simple majority on Tuesday morning, April 16th. The next step for the decree is to be submitted for a second-round review during the session on Wednesday, April 17th, 2024.
Bruce Dickinson's connection to the city of Curitiba
Those responsible for the project highlight the connection between the renowned English musician and Curitiba through their shared passion for craft beer, as Bruce is also a brewer and has an important partnership with the award-winning Bodebrown brewery as the official brand of Iron Maiden .
The proposal highlights the partnership with Bodebrown and the importance of the beer releases for the band's history and the local economy, being the first official brewery outside of England. Furthermore, Curitiba is recognized by Municipal Law 15.063/2017 as the Capital of Craft Beer.
The granting of Honorary Citizenship to Bruce Dickinson promises to be a moment of celebration among fans and businesspeople in the city's cultural scene. However, the matter is controversial among city residents, who consider it something that adds nothing, since he is a foreign artist. Check out the official statement from the Curitiba City Council .
