Iron Maiden extends 50th-anniversary tour with new North American dates

Iron Maiden is expanding its ‘Run For Your Lives’ 50th-anniversary tour. Following successful performances, the band has announced 16 additional North American concert dates for 2027. The new leg will begin on April 14 in Tacoma, Washington, and include stops in cities such as Vancouver, Portland, Phoenix, Dallas, and Atlanta, concluding with festival appearances in Columbus and Ocean City in May.

Bassist and founder Steve Harris stated that the decision to extend the tour came after the extraordinary reception from audiences in the United States and Canada. Manager Rod Smallwood noted that the band has drawn some of its largest North American crowds during 2026. The new dates will feature Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age as opening acts.

In recent activity, the band performed a two-hour set at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, for approximately 30,000 fans. The concert featured a repertoire spanning the group's history, including hits such as ‘The Number of the Beast’, ‘The Trooper’, and ‘Fear of the Dark’.
