Iron Maiden announce 2025-2026 world tour to celebrate 50th anniversary

Vaseline

It’s tour time. What tour? The world tour! Heavy metal gods Iron Maiden have announced a 2025-2026 tour called the “Run For Your Lives” world tour to commemorate the band’s 50th anniversary. That’s a hell of a long time to do something. I haven’t even breathed in 50 years. If someone said to me “I’m celebrating 50 years of masturbating,” I’d still say “that’s a hell of a milestone.” And what Iron Maiden have done is far more impressive and far less messy.

Here’s what Iron Maiden had to say about the tour on Instagram:

“The Run For Your Lives World Tour kicks off in Budapest on 27th May next year, followed by 27 stadium, festival and arena shows across Europe. The tour marks 50 years since Steve Harris formed the band in late 1975 and to celebrate, Maiden fans are promised a very special setlist spanning all nine studio albums from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Fear Of The Dark’, featuring their most spectacular and extended stage show ever!”

This promises to be a tour that no true Iron Maiden fan can afford to miss. The first half of the tour will feature Halestorm as support act, then Swedish band Avatar on the second half, and the UK and Irish dates will feature British band The Raven Age. Check out the full list of dates below:
