LIVEWELL Health Delivers VIP Backstage Wellbeing at EddFest 2026, Knebworth
LIVEWELL Health was proud to be invited by the organisers of EddFest 2026 at the iconic Knebworth venue to provide professional backstage massage and wellbeing support during what was a truly unforgettable celebration. With the event marking Iron Maiden’s 50th Anniversary, the atmosphere throughout the day was nothing short of incredible, bringing together legendary musicians, family, friends and VIP guests to celebrate one of the world’s most influential rock bands.
Our role at the event was to create a dedicated VIP wellbeing and massage area within the exclusive Iron Maiden Family & Friends hospitality space. Equipped with three professional massage chairs and staffed by experienced sports massage therapists, our team spent the day ensuring that guests could relax, unwind and recharge while enjoying the celebrations.
While backstage physiotherapy and massage are often associated with supporting performers before and after taking to the stage, our focus at EddFest extended beyond the artists themselves. We were honoured to look after the people who matter most to the band—their family members, close friends and VIP guests—providing professional seated massage treatments designed to reduce muscle tension, relieve stress and enhance overall wellbeing throughout the event.
The feedback from guests was fantastic, with our massage chairs rarely empty as visitors took the opportunity to escape the excitement for a few moments of relaxation. It was a privilege to play a small part in such a landmark occasion and to work alongside so many talented individuals behind the scenes.

Our experienced teams can create complete relaxation and recovery zones featuring seated massage, sports massage, reflexology, compression boot therapy, foot massagers, recovery lounges, mindfulness spaces, stretch and mobility areas and dedicated chill-out zones designed to help guests recharge during busy events.
