The HU – release special cover of Iron Maiden’s ‘The Trooper’

With over 830M all-time streams, #1 charting albums, multiple sold-out headlining tours across the globe, appearances at major festivals worldwide, recognition from top government agencies and officials, and collaborations with some of rock’s biggest names, THE HU have brought Mongolian music to the forefront with their innovative brand of ‘Hunnu Rock’. They will now bring their unparalleled and immersive performance to audiences across North America as they join forces with rock legends Iron Maiden as direct support on their Future Past arena tour starting tonight, October 4 in San Diego, CA. THE HU have paid tribute to Iron Maiden today by releasing a cover version of one of the band’s most popular songs, ‘The Trooper’.

Founding member, Lead Throat Singer, and Morin Khuur musician GALA excitedly states: “The HU is thrilled to be on Iron Maiden’s Future Past Tour in North America. For us, this tour represents an important milestone for the Mongolian music industry and a historical step towards the world stage. As a special thank you, and out of huge respect as fans of the band, we covered their legendary song ‘The Trooper’ and are happy to be sharing that with you ahead of this tour!”

THE HU will also perform a series of headlining shows throughout the North American tour with special guests The Funeral Portrait. Tickets and VIP upgrades are available now at https://www.thehuofficial.com.

Earlier this year, THE HU released a live recording of their groundbreaking debut performance at the legendary Glastonbury Festival from 2023, THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY. It includes popular tracks from their 2019 breakthrough debut The Gereg — which debuted at #1 on the World Album and Top New Artist Charts — and its 2022 follow-up album Rumble Of Thunder, both released via Better Noise Music.

THE HU have received critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, NPR, GQ, The Guardian, The Independent, Revolver, and even Sir Elton John himself. In addition to collaborations with some of rock’s top artists such as Serj Tankian (System of a Down), William Duvall (Alice In Chains), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) and DL (Bad Wolves), THE HU have also explored eclectic ways to reach
audiences with their sound including recording music for EA Games’ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and being featured in its soundtrack, as well as being in the soundtrack for the horror-thriller The Retaliators along with appearing in the film.
