Legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has announced a 27 date world tour to celebrate 50 years since Steve Harris formed the group in late 1975. Maiden are promising fans a very special set list, spanning the nine studio albums from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark, as well as their most spectacular and elaborate show ever.
The Run For Your Lives world tourwill start in Budapest on May 27 2025.
Born in 1975, in the East End of London, Iron Maiden quickly became the heroes of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement, and over the course of 17 studio albums, have sold more than 110 million records.
“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,” says lead singer Bruce Dickinson. “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!”

The tour includes five shows in the UK and Ireland, with arenas in Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow, and outdoor shows in Dublin and London.
On Saturday June 28, the band will perform at the London Stadium, home of West Ham Football Club, the team that founder Steve Harris has supported throughout his life.
This concert, in front of over 60,000 fans at the London Stadium, which was constructed in Stratford for the 2012 Olympics and four years later became the new home of West Ham, will be the first time that Maiden have performed on the club’s hallowed turf.
Not only will this be a homecoming for local band members Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Nicko McBrain, it will also be the biggest UK venue Iron Maiden have headlined outside of their festival appearances.
Steve Harris says, “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.”
Special Guests for the London and Dublin outdoor shows will be American rockers Halestorm. British metal band, The Raven Age, will open all five UK and Ireland shows.
Tickets go on sale next week, see www.ironmaiden.com for details. There will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members.
