Iron Maiden add a final North American leg for 2027: 16 dates from Tacoma to Ocean City, with Bullet for My Valentine

Iron Maiden are coming back to North America in 2027. The British metal institution has added a third and final leg to its Run For Your Lives tour: 16 shows between 14 April and 16 May 2027, which the band announced on its official site on 16 October 2026.

The tour is billed as "from Iron Maiden to Fear of the Dark", and the poster art, a very angry Eddie with an axe, leans on the band's early years. Bullet for My Valentine and The Raven Age are named as special guests. The announcement does not say which dates each of them plays, and the two festival shows are Iron Maiden only.

Tickets

The Iron Maiden fan club presale opens on Monday 19 October at 10am local time, with more presales running through the week. General sale starts on Friday 23 October at 10am local time through Ticketmaster. A VIP package adds a seated ticket, entry to the Trooper pre-show party and exclusive merchandise, and details are on VIP Nation. The two festival dates sell through Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock directly.

Why it matters

The band played North America in the summer of 2026, and the announcement calls this the final leg of the tour, so these are the last North American shows of the Run For Your Lives cycle. Prices have not been published in the announcement, so check the ticket page when sales open.

Bullet for My Valentine, from Wales, and The Raven Age, the London band formed around Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris's son George, keep the bill all-British.
