Mumbai, 19th October 2026: Iron Maiden are returning to North America in 2027 for the third and final leg of their Run for Your Lives tour, extending their 50th-anniversary celebrations. Announced on October 16, the surprise 16-show run comes after the British heavy metal legends had planned to take a break from live performances next year. The band will bring its acclaimed live production to cities missed during the previous North American leg, before concluding the tour with two major festival appearances.
The tour begins on April 14 at Tacoma Dome in Washington and travels across the United States and Canada, with stops in Vancouver, Portland, Wheatland, Chula Vista, San Bernardino, Phoenix and Dallas. The May leg includes Tampa, West Palm Beach, Atlanta, Raleigh, Hartford and Belmont Park, New York, where the final standalone concert takes place on May 11. Iron Maiden will then headline Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on May 14 and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, on May 16.
Joining Iron Maiden on the tour are fellow British acts Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age. The three-band British bill marks a notable return to the band’s roots, with Iron Maiden last touring alongside two other British bands in 1983. Bassist Steve Harris explained that the group had reconsidered its planned break after enjoying its recent North American shows, adding that the new dates would give fans in previously missed regions another opportunity to experience the production. The band has confirmed that these will be the final shows of the Run for Your Lives tour, which is expected to reach 107 performances across 36 countries and more than three million fans.
Tickets for the headline shows go on general sale on October 23, following the Iron Maiden Fan Club presale beginning October 19, with additional presales scheduled throughout the week. The complete 2027 schedule is April 14 – Tacoma, Washington; April 16 – Vancouver, Canada; April 18 – Portland, Oregon; April 20 – Wheatland, California; April 22 – Chula Vista, California; April 24 – San Bernardino, California; April 26 – Phoenix, Arizona; April 28 – Dallas, Texas; May 1 – Tampa, Florida; May 2 – West Palm Beach, Florida; May 5 – Atlanta, Georgia; May 7 – Raleigh, North Carolina; May 9 – Hartford, Connecticut; May 11 – Belmont Park, New York; May 14 – Sonic Temple, Columbus, Ohio; and May 16 – Boardwalk Rock, Ocean City, Maryland.
