Iron Maiden announces final “Run For Your Lives” Tour dates for 2027: Schedule, presales, tickets and openers

Iron Maiden is not quite ready to say goodbye to the road.

After celebrating five decades of heavy metal with shows around the world, the British band has announced one final North American leg of its “Run For Your Lives” World Tour. The new dates give fans another chance to see the band’s 50th anniversary production before the tour concludes.

Iron Maiden will perform 16 times across the U.S. and Canada between Wednesday, April 14 and Sunday, May 16, 2027. The schedule includes 14 headlining concerts and two festival appearances, with stops in Tacoma, Vancouver, Portland, Dallas, Tampa, Atlanta and the New York area.

Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age will join Iron Maiden for the headlining dates.

The 2027 run extends the band’s anniversary celebration into cities and regions not included in its earlier North American schedule. Bassist and founding member Steve Harris has confirmed that these shows will be the final performances of the “Run For Your Lives” Tour, which is expected to reach 107 shows across 36 countries and more than three million fans.

Tickets for the headlining dates go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 23, 2026 at 10 a.m. local time, following an Iron Maiden Fan Club presale beginning Monday, Oct. 19.

Here’s everything to know about Iron Maiden’s 2027 tour, including the full schedule, presale dates, opening acts and what fans can expect.

Iron Maiden “Run For Your Lives” Tour 2027 dates

Iron Maiden’s final North American leg begins in the Pacific Northwest before moving through California, the Southwest, Texas, Florida and the East Coast.

The itinerary combines indoor arenas with outdoor amphitheaters. The two festival appearances have separate ticketing arrangements and lineups, so they are listed separately from the 14 headlining concerts.

Iron Maiden 2027 presale and onsale schedule

All times are local to each venue. Presale availability, eligibility requirements and participating dates may vary. Check the official event listing for the most up-to-date ticketing details.

Iron Maiden Fan Club presale

The first opportunity to purchase tickets begins Monday, Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. local time through the official Iron Maiden Fan Club. The 23-hour presale ends Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 9 a.m. local time.

Fans must have an active membership to participate. Eligible members can retrieve an individual presale code through the Iron Maiden Fan Club and use it to unlock tickets through the designated ticketing platform.

Presale codes are expected to be available in members’ Fan Club accounts rather than sent by email. Members can purchase up to six tickets per show, subject to availability.

New members may be able to join and participate after the presale begins, but inventory is limited and presale access does not guarantee tickets. Fans hoping to secure general admission pit tickets should retrieve their code before the sale and be ready when the window opens.

Spotify presale

The Reserved by Spotify presale begins Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. local time and ends Thursday, Oct. 22 at 10 p.m.

The presale is available to eligible Spotify Premium subscribers. Not every date or seat type will necessarily participate, and purchases are limited to two tickets per eligible subscriber under the announced terms.

Check your Spotify account for eligibility, access instructions and any additional requirements.

Live Nation presale

The Live Nation presale begins Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. local time and ends Thursday, Oct. 22 at 10 p.m.

Live Nation All Access members can participate. Fans should sign in using the same email address connected to their Live Nation and ticketing accounts. Eligible accounts may unlock the presale without a separate code.

Venue presale

Participating venues will hold their own presales beginning Thursday, Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. local time. Those windows are scheduled to end at 10 p.m. that evening.

Access requirements can differ by location. Check your venue’s event page for any required code, registration instructions or membership criteria.

General onsale

The general public can purchase tickets beginning Friday, Oct. 23 at 10 a.m. local time.

The two festival appearances have separate ticketing arrangements. Consult the Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock event pages for ticket information.

Who is opening for Iron Maiden on the 2027 tour?

Iron Maiden will bring two British metal acts along for its 14 headlining North American concerts: Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age.

The festival appearances have separate lineups, so fans attending Sonic Temple or Boardwalk Rock should review the individual festival schedules.

Bullet For My Valentine

Bullet For My Valentine is a Welsh metal band known for aggressive riffs, melodic hooks and emotionally charged songwriting.

Songs such as “Tears Don’t Fall,” “Your Betrayal” and “Waking the Demon” have helped establish the band within modern metalcore. Bullet For My Valentine is also scheduled to release its album Social Apocalypse on March 19, 2027, less than a month before the Iron Maiden tour begins.

Fans may hear established favorites alongside newer material during the 2027 dates.

The Raven Age

The Raven Age adds a direct family connection to Iron Maiden’s legacy. The British melodic metal band features guitarist George Harris, son of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris.

The Raven Age has developed its own sound through heavy riffs, atmospheric arrangements and songs such as “Fleur de Lis” and “The Day the World Stood Still.” The group previously supported Iron Maiden at several South and Central American performances.

Both bands are announced for the 14 headlining concerts. Their participation in the festival dates has not been confirmed here.

When does Iron Maiden’s “Run For Your Lives” Tour start?

The 2027 North American leg begins Wednesday, April 14 at Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington.

The concert is currently scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. according to the event listing. Iron Maiden will be joined by Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age.

Fans should confirm the latest event schedule before attending because doors and set times can change.

When does Iron Maiden’s “Run For Your Lives” Tour end?

Iron Maiden’s final North American headlining concert takes place Tuesday, May 11, 2027 at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York.

The band’s final scheduled performances on the “Run For Your Lives” Tour are the two festival appearances that follow:

• Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, May 14

• Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland on Sunday, May 16

Those festival performances are expected to officially conclude the 50th anniversary tour. The announcement applies specifically to “Run For Your Lives” and does not confirm Iron Maiden’s retirement from all future performances or recordings.

What to expect at Iron Maiden’s “Run For Your Lives” Tour

Iron Maiden’s “Run For Your Lives” Tour is not a traditional greatest-hits show.

Designed to celebrate the band’s first 50 years, the production focuses on music from its first nine studio albums, spanning the 1980 self-titled debut through 1992’s Fear of the Dark. Fans can expect a mix of early deep cuts, longer compositions and classic songs from the band’s most influential era.

The production is also expected to include large-scale stage designs, lighting effects and appearances from Iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie.

Iron Maiden “Run For Your Lives” Tour setlist

The exact 2027 setlist has not been confirmed. However, recent performances provide a reference point for the anniversary show’s musical direction.

The following setlist is based on Iron Maiden's September 25, 2026 performance at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. While it offers a strong indication of what fans can expect, the exact 2027 setlist has not been confirmed and songs may change between performances.

Iron Maiden “Run For Your Lives” Tour VIP packages
