Iron Maiden Announces World Tour for 2025-2026 to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

0

It’s time for a tour. What tour? The world tour! Heavy metal gods Iron Maiden announced a tour for 2025-2026 called the “Run For Your Lives” world tour to commemorate the band hitting the 50 year mark. That’s a hell of a long time to be doing anything. I haven’t even been breathing for 50 years. If someone told me “I’m celebrating 50 years of jerking off” I’d still be like “that’s a hell of a milestone.” And what Iron Maiden has been doing is a lot more impressive and a lot less messy.

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

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

So this promises to be a tour that a true Iron Maiden fan can’t miss. The first half of the tour will have Halestorm as the supporting act, then Swedish band Avatar on the second half, and the UK and Irish dates will have British band The Raven Age. Check out the full list of dates below:
