Iris este cea mai cunoscuta formatie de rock din România, fondată in 1977, la Bucuresti.
Din prima componenta au facut parte Nutu Olteanu (chitara, vocal), Emil Lechinteanu (chitara bas) si Nelu Dumitrescu (baterie). Formatia a trecut prin numeroase schimbări de formula, cea actuala (din 1986) incluzandu-i pe Valter Popa (chitara), Ion „Nelu” Dumitrescu (baterie), Doru „Boro” Borobeica (bas), Cristian Minculescu (voce) si Relu Marin (clape).
Peste 20 de albume, 2 dvd-uri, zeci de single-uri si premii – acestea sunt cifrele ce caracterizeaza cel mai bine cariera trupei.
In iulie 2007, formatia a cantat in deschiderea concertului Rolling Stones, iar pe 5 octombrie in acelasi an a sarbatorit 30 de ani de existenta printr-un concert extraordinar pe Aeroportul Baneasa. Cu aceasta ocazie au lansat un dublu CD, intitulat ‚Cei ce vor fi’, album ce a primit Discul de Platina pentru vanzarile realizate.
Pe 8 octombrie 2009 , formatia a sustinut la Sala Polivalentă din Bucuresti primul mare concert dupa operatia de transplant de ficat suferita de Cristi Minculescu. Biletele s-au epuizat cu mult inainte de data concertului, in sala fiind prezenti peste 7000 de fani. Cu ocazia acestui spectacol a fost lansata si ‚Integrala Iris’, un boxset cuprinzand toata discografia trupei. Materialul include si primele 5 albume din istoria trupei pe cd lansate pana la acel moment doar pe vinil.
2010 a fost si el un an bun pentru Iris, ei lansand dvd-ul ‚Iris – Aeterna’ cu concertul din octombrie 2009. In toamna acestui an Iris au lansat si primul material integral nou din ultimii 3 ani, ‚12 Porti’, urmat de un concert grandios la Sala Palatului.
