Iron Maiden’s 50th Anniversary World Tour

In celebration of the iconic rockers 50th anniversary, Iron Maiden have announced the ‘Run For Your Lives World Tour.’

Formed by Steve Harris in late 1975, the legendary heavy metal band will launch the 27-concert trek around Europe in 2025 and 2026, assuring fans will be treated to a special set list spanning the group’s nine studio LP between 1980’s ‘Iron Maiden’ and 1992’s ‘Fear of the Dark’, including such classic songs as ‘Run to the Hills’, ‘The Trooper’, ‘Can I Play With Madness’ and ‘Bring Your Daughter… to the Slaughter’.

In a statement about next year’s tour, frontman Bruce Dickinson said:

“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.” “This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level.” “If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! Iron Maiden’s definitely gonna get ya!”

The Iron Maiden tour tour starts on May 27, 2025 in Budapest followed by five shows in the UK and Ireland. On June 21/22, the group will play to Birmingham and Manchester for a pair of arena shows, before a night at Dublin’s Malahide Castle on June 25. On June 28, the heavy metal act will head to London Stadium, before ending their British and Irish stint two nights later at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena.

“My love of football and my support of West Ham is no secret, and I know many of our fans around the world have shared that with me too.” “So we’re all very excited to be playing at the London Stadium as part of the ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour.” “And of course, it’s not just London – the whole UK tour is going to be a real celebration for all of us.” “To be able to bring this very special show to all our fans across the UK and Ireland next year is going to be a great way to mark 50 years of Iron Maiden. We can’t wait to see you all there!,” added Dickinson.

Effective next Friday (9.27,) tickets will go on sale from 12pm at Livenation.co.uk. and as always there will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members and Trooper VIP packages will be available at all UK and Ireland shows.
