Iron Maiden are extending their 'Run For Your Lives' anniversary tour: on 16 October the band and Live Nation announced 16 more shows in North America. The third and final leg starts on 14 April 2027 at the Tacoma Dome and ends on 16 May with a headline slot at the Boardwalk Rock Festival in Ocean City, Maryland; two days earlier the band plays Sonic Temple in Columbus. New stops include Vancouver, Dallas and Atlanta, which were skipped in 2026. The band had originally planned a break from live shows in 2027.
'We can't get everywhere but we can try!' said bassist and founder Steve Harris. Manager Rod Smallwood said the band simply had to come back and play some places they had missed. Bullet for My Valentine and The Raven Age support at the regular shows. The fan club presale starts on Monday 19 October, with general sale on Friday 23 October (both 10am local time).
In total, the band says the tour will comprise 107 shows in 36 countries for more than three million fans. No further dates in Europe or Germany were announced for 2027.
