The Iron Maidens, the world’s only female tribute to the legendary Iron Maiden, and the Southern California Tribute community have come together to do a benefit for drummer Linda McDonald (ex-Phantom Blue) to help cover some medical bills.

As the drummer for The Iron Maidens, she has been unable to play her kit for five months late last year into earlier this year due to a car accident she was involved in. Her car was totaled and her left shoulder injured. Fast forward to present; she has just had surgery to repair her shoulder and is ordered off the drums once again for another 5-6 months until January 2017. She will be requiring physical therapy for the rest of the year.

This event features performances by top tribute acts Damage Inc., Just Like Priest, Electric Funeral, ThundHerStruck, and a jam with some members of The Iron Maidens performing all evening to help raise funds to help Linda with mounting bills.

Lindapalooza is an event planned by friends for Linda as a surprise gesture of support and friendship in trying times for her. She was completely shocked to find out about it! Please feel free to spread the word

With performances by Damage Inc. (tribute to Metallica), Just Like Priest (tribute to Judas Priest), Electric Funeral (tribute to Black Sabbath), Thunderherstruck (all girl tribute to AC/DC), plus a Mock Star Jam featuring members of The Iron Maidens.
