Iron Maiden Add Final Run For Your Lives Dates in North America for 2027

Iron Maiden have added 16 North American dates in spring 2027, extending Run For Your Lives into one final leg. The announcement, published on October 16, changes the band’s earlier plan to take a break from live shows next year.

Steve Harris explains in the official announcement that the band wants to reach areas missed by the recent run, particularly the Northwest and Southeast. The new itinerary starts at Tacoma Dome on April 14 and finishes at Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, on May 16.

Dates and ticket details

Bullet for My Valentine and The Raven Age are announced as special guests for the tour. The final two dates are festival appearances, with Sonic Temple in Columbus on May 14 preceding Boardwalk Rock. Festival ticket information should be checked separately.

The distinction worth keeping straight: this is the final leg of Run For Your Lives, not an announcement that Iron Maiden are retiring. Fans should not read a farewell claim into the tour’s closing chapter.

For ticket planning, the Iron Maiden Fan Club presale begins October 19 at 10 a.m. local time. General sales are scheduled for October 23 at 10 a.m. local time. Those are local sale times, not a single worldwide launch hour.

For guitar players, the tour announcement is also a reason to revisit the musicians behind Maiden’s arrangements rather than guess at an unannounced setlist or equipment changes. Want to dig deeper into Adrian Smith’s guitars and gear? Read our full guide.
