Iron Maiden Adds 2027 North American Dates

Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have announced a surprise addition to their global touring schedule, adding 16 new North American dates for the spring of 2027. This expansion is part of the band's massive Run for Your Lives 50th-anniversary celebration.

The announcement comes as a surprise to many, as the band was originally expected to take a hiatus in 2027 following the conclusion of their current tour in November. However, bassist Steve Harris explained that the band's recent experiences in the U.S. and Canada inspired them to return. Harris noted that the group wanted to visit regions they previously missed, specifically the Northwest and Southeast, to show appreciation for their long-time supporters in those areas.

The updated itinerary also includes a few U.S. festivals, which the band views as an exciting challenge because they perform for a more diverse audience.

The 2027 leg will begin on April 14, following the band's 2026 performances in Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Key stops on the new run include Vancouver, Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, and Tacoma, Washington. The tour will conclude with a festival appearance on May 16 in Ocean City, Maryland.

Fans looking to attend, general ticket sales open to the public on October 23 at 10 a.m. local time.

The band has confirmed that these shows will serve as the final performances of the Run for Your Lives tour. In total, the ambitious global trek will encompass 107 concerts across 36 different countries. For a full list of dates and additional details, fans are encouraged to visit the band'.s official website.
