IRON MAIDEN will kick off their “Run For Your Lives” world tour on May 27 next year in Budapest, Hungary, followed by 27 shows across Europe in stadiums, festivals, and arenas. The tour celebrates the 50th anniversary of the band’s formation by Steve Harris in 1975. Fans can look forward to a special setlist featuring tracks from their first nine albums, ranging from “Iron Maiden” to “Fear of the Dark,” alongside their most elaborate stage production to date.
The tour dates are listed below, and tickets will go on sale next week. As usual, fan club members will get early access through a pre-sale, and Trooper VIP packages will be available at all U.K. and Ireland shows.
Lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson shares: “Next year is going to be incredibly special for IRON MAIDEN, and we’re giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This tour will leave you smiling and cheering. Whether you’ve seen us before or it’s your first time, you’re in for something extraordinary. IRON MAIDEN’s coming for you!”
The tour includes five U.K. and Ireland dates, featuring arena shows in Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow, as well as outdoor performances in Dublin and London. Among these, the London Stadium show on June 28, home of West Ham Football Club, will be a major highlight, marking a significant moment in the band’s history. With a capacity of over 60,000, this will be the largest U.K. venue IRON MAIDEN has headlined outside of festivals. It also holds special meaning as Steve Harris, a lifelong West Ham fan, and fellow band members were born in the area.
Harris adds: “Everyone knows how much I love football and West Ham, and it’s amazing to perform at London Stadium as part of this tour. We’re thrilled to bring this special show to our fans across the U.K. and Ireland to celebrate 50 years of IRON MAIDEN. We can’t wait to see you there!”
American rock band HALESTORM will be the special guests for the London and Dublin shows, while British metal band THE RAVEN AGE will open all five U.K. and Ireland dates.
