Iron Maiden Run for Your Lives Tour extends into 2027


The British metal titans Iron Maiden are gearing up for an ambitious expansion of their Run for Your Lives Tour, pushing the boundaries of their North American journey. Ahead of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the band has announced a “third and final leg” of the tour, ensuring that their dedicated fanbase gets to experience the music across the continent.

This latest expansion isn’t just about hitting new cities; it’s about delivering a comprehensive experience. Bassist Steve Harris explained the motivation behind this move, noting that while they had planned a break from live performances in 2027, the incredible response from fans across the USA and Canada convinced them to try and reach parts of the country they had missed. “It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere but we can try!”

To realize this expanded vision, the tour will kick off on April 14 in Tacoma, Washington, marking the start of a sprawling journey. The route will weave through the Pacific Northwest and into Canada, with a stop scheduled for Vancouver on April 16 at the Rogers Arena.

The tour schedule is packed with high-energy performances, featuring support from fellow heavyweights such as Bullet for My Valentine and the Raven Age. The route winds through several key US markets, including Portland, Oregon; Phoenix, Arizona; Dallas, Texas; Tampa, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia, before concluding in Ocean City, Maryland on May 16.

Fans eager to secure their spot for this extended run have a limited window to book tickets. General admission tickets will go on sale a week from today, October 23, at 10 a.m. local time, following presales beginning on Monday, October 19. Fans are encouraged to check Concert Central for the full routing details and booking information.

This massive undertaking promises to be a spectacular final chapter for this iteration of the tour, offering fans an unforgettable cross-border experience as the band continues to connect with their audience on an epic scale.
