Iron Maiden Announce Final North American Tour Dates for 2027
Iron Maiden announced 15 North American shows for 2027 as the final leg of its “Run for Your Lives” 50th anniversary tour.
The British heavy metal band will play in the United States and Canada from April 14 to May 16.
The tour adds places the band missed, including stops in the Northwest and Southeast, according to founder and bassist Steve Harris.
The band had planned to take a break from live performances in 2027, but decided to return after enjoying the previous North American leg.
Two festival shows will close the tour: Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland.
The shows matter to the band because they offer a chance to perform for people beyond its own fans.
General ticket sales begin October 23, with presales taking place earlier.

What people are saying
we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East.
At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it’s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!
