Iron Maiden will begin their Run For Your Lives World Tour on 27 May 2025 in Budapest. Celebrating the 50th year since Steve Harris formed the band, the tour setlist will span nine studio albums from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark and will be their most spectacular and elaborate show ever.
Following Budapest, the tour will take in another 27 stadium, festival and arena shows around Europe, including a show at the London Stadium, the home of West Ham football club. “My love of football and my support of West Ham is no secret,” Steve Harris told us, “and I know many of our fans around the world have shared that with me, too.
“So we’re all very excited to be playing at the London Stadium as part of the Run For Your Lives tour. And, of course, it’s not just London. The whole UK tour is going to be a real celebration for all of us. To be able to bring this very special show to all our fans across the UK and Ireland next year is going to be a great way to mark 50 years of Iron Maiden. We can’t wait to see you all there.”
Tickets are on sale next week and will be available from here. As always, there will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members, and Trooper VIP packages will be available at all UK and Ireland shows. The five shows in the UK and Ireland feature arenas in Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow and outdoor shows in Dublin and London.
The London Stadium show will be in the largest UK venue the band have ever headlined outside of their festival appearances, and Bruce says he cannot wait, promising a unique Maiden experience.
“Next year is a very special one for Iron Maiden,” Dickinson says, “and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience. This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat.
“If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for?
Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! Iron Maiden’s definitely gonna get ya.”
“50 years of Maiden, and I have seen 46 of them,” Manager Rod Smallwood said. “With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one, we’re pulling out all the stops!
“We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future. We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.
“This is going to be a huge couple of years for Iron Maiden and Eddie, of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year. I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed.”
Special Guests for the London and Dublin outdoor shows will be American rockers Halestorm. The Raven Age, will open all five UK & Ireland shows.
