by

As a die-hard Iron Maiden fan since their early days, I can hardly contain my excitement for their Run For Your Lives World Tour next year! With 50 years of metal under their belts and a promise to deliver a setlist spanning their first nine studio albums, this tour is shaping up to be an unparalleled experience.

Prepare for an exciting event: Iron Maiden is readying themselves for their much-awaited Run For Your Lives World Tour, commencing on May 27th of next year in Budapest. Spanning over 27 cities across Europe, the tour will take us through stadiums, festivals, and arenas. But this isn’t just any regular tour – 2025 marks a significant milestone as it celebrates the 50-year anniversary since the band was founded by Steve Harris in 1975.

To mark this significant achievement, the band has pledged a playlist filled with tracks from their initial nine studio albums, spanning from their first self-titled album “Iron Maiden” (1980) to “Fear of the Dark” (1992). If everything goes smoothly, fans should be treated to the band’s most intricate and visually stunning performance yet.

Since their beginning, Iron Maiden has been a powerful presence in the heavy metal genre, selling more than 100 million albums globally and performing nearly 2,500 concerts across 64 nations. Their enduring popularity and success are often attributed to their devoted fan base and the band’s unwavering dedication to providing innovative and thrilling live experiences that motivate people to leave home. The Run For Your Lives tour is set to uphold this tradition.

Since 1981, Bruce Dickinson, the legendary lead singer of IRON MAIDEN, has shown his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. He mentioned that next year is a unique and significant milestone for the band, promising an unforgettable live performance to their fans. This tour will undoubtedly bring joy to your face and excitement to your throat. If you’ve attended one of their shows before, brace yourself for an even more extraordinary experience. And if you haven’t, then it seems you’ve been missing out – now’s your chance to discover what you’ve been missing! IRON MAIDEN is ready to leave a lasting impression on you!

How Iron Maiden is gonna get ya

As a devoted gamer, I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into crafting an epic performance that pays homage to our rich history while also offering something fresh for our fans. We’ve been grinding day and night for months now, meticulously planning every detail to bring our songs to life in a way they’ve never been experienced before. We’re diving deep into our catalog, dusting off old classics and fan favorites from the first nine albums that haven’t seen the light of day in years. It’s been quite a journey, but I can assure you it will be worth every second!

During the tour, there will be some notable special appearances. To kick things off, American rock band Halestorm will perform for the first half, including the outdoor concerts in London and Dublin. Later, Swedish metal band Avatar will step in as the featured guests for the second part of the tour. Opening all UK and Ireland shows is British metal act The Raven Age, a group with a personal connection to the main band – guitarist George Harris, son of Steve Harris, is one of its founders.

London Stadium

A memorable highlight of the tour will undoubtedly be Iron Maiden’s show at London Stadium, which is where West Ham United Football Club plays their home games, on June 28th. This massive stadium, capable of accommodating more than 60,000 spectators, will provide a welcoming environment for Harris and other band members who hail from the vicinity. Iron Maiden shares a rich history with West Ham; Bruce Harris, the band’s frontman, is an avid fan, and they have previously collaborated on official club merchandise.

For the very first time, Iron Maiden will perform at the stadium, an event that’ll make history as their biggest headlining gig at a non-festival venue in the UK. Performing at London Stadium promises to be an extraordinary experience.

Tour perks

At each tour location, special VIP packages inspired by the band’s hit single from 1983, “The Trooper”, will be offered to fans seeking an elevated experience.

Not only do these packages encompass special merchandise, pre-concert events, and additional privileges to enhance the experience, but Iron Maiden’s commitment to their artistry and fanbase remains steadfast as they gear up for one of their most monumental tours yet. In other words, it’s more than just a casual pastime!

Over the span of five decades, this legendary band has delivered countless memorable live performances. The upcoming Run For Your Lives tour promises to add another unmissable chapter to their rich history, offering fans an experience they’ll never forget.
