“But 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.

It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years.” The Live Nation-promoted tour begins April 14, 2027, at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, and concludes May 11, 2027, at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York.

Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age will join the trek as special guests, marking the first time since 1983 that Iron Maiden has toured with two other British bands on the bill.

After the North American run, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will perform at two U.S. music festivals: Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on May 14 and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, on May 16.

The 2027 dates “will definitely be the last” of Maiden’s Run for Your Lives tour, according to a press release.

The trek will have played 107 shows by the time it concludes.

“We can’t get everywhere but we can try!” Harris continued in his statement.

“Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland.

At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it’s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!” Tickets go on sale to the general public Oct.
