Iron Maiden Announce 2027 North American 'Run For Your Lives' Dates: 14 Arena and Amphitheater Shows Plus Two Festival Headliners; Fan Presale Opens October 19
Iron Maiden will return to North America in spring 2027 for the third and final leg of their 50th anniversary "Run For Your Lives" tour, Billboard reported on October 16. The newly announced run adds 16 shows, mostly in markets not included on the previous leg.
The 14 arena and amphitheater dates open on April 14, 2027, at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, and continue through Vancouver (April 16), Portland (April 18), Wheatland, California (April 20), Chula Vista (April 22), San Bernardino (April 24), Phoenix (April 26) and Dallas (April 28), then Tampa (May 1), West Palm Beach (May 2), Atlanta (May 5), Raleigh (May 7) and Hartford (May 9), closing on May 11 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York. The tour then ends with two festival headlining appearances: Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on May 14, and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, on May 16.
Special guests are fellow British bands Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age — the announcement notes it is the first time since 1983 that Maiden has chosen a three-band British bill. Bullet For My Valentine's new album "Social Apocalypse" is due March 19, 2027, and the tour marks the band's first North American performances since its co-headlining run with Trivium in 2025.
"These shows will DEFINITELY be the last of the already legendary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR, which by the end will have played 107 shows to well over 3 million fans in 36 countries — now that really is the proper way to celebrate your 50th anniversary," the band's announcement said. "We look forward to seeing you all again next spring."
Tickets go on sale starting with an IMFC fan-club presale on Monday, October 19, at 10 a.m. local time, with additional presales during the week ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, October 23, at 10 a.m. local time; festival tickets are handled through the festivals' own sales. VIP packages, including a seated ticket, access to the official TROOPER pre-show party and exclusive merchandise, are also available. (GSM, from the band's official announcement)
