IRON MAIDEN will embark on their “Run For Your Lives” world tour in 2025, starting on May 27, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. The tour includes 27 stadium, festival, and arena shows across Europe. Marking 50 years since Steve Harris formed the band in 1975, this tour promises a special setlist spanning the first nine studio albums, from “Iron Maiden” to “Fear Of The Dark”, with their most spectacular and elaborate show ever (apparently, dates will be announced later on for the rest of the planet, as well).

Lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, stated:

“Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN, and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience. If you’ve seen us before, get ready for a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us, what are you waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing!”

The tour includes five U.K. and Ireland shows, with arenas in Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow, and outdoor performances in Dublin and London. On June 28, MAIDEN will play at London Stadium, home to West Ham Football Club, a team Steve Harris has supported his whole life.

Steve Harris added:

“My love for football and West Ham is no secret, and many of our fans share that with me. We are incredibly excited to play at London Stadium, especially as part of this special 50th anniversary tour. We can’t wait to see you all there!”
