Quick answer

Yes — Iron Maiden have officially announced a 2027 North American leg of the Run For Your Lives world tour: 16 dates from April 14 (Tacoma Dome) to May 16 (Boardwalk Rock, Ocean City), with Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age as support on headline shows. The band had originally planned to sit out 2027 entirely, but changed course after sold-out North American shows in 2026. October 2026 check: the North American dates are the only officially announced 2027 dates — no UK, European, or additional dates have been confirmed.

The tour so far, for context

Iron Maiden's Run For Your Lives tour was a 50th-anniversary celebration of the band's formation, playing a setlist drawn heavily from the band's early years — the nine studio albums from Iron Maiden (1980) through Fear of the Dark (1992). The tour kicked off in Europe in May 2025 and ran through much of 2026, including North America, South America, Japan and Australia.

The tour also marked a new era behind the kit: Nicko McBrain retired from touring at the end of 2024, and longtime drum tech Simon Dawson stepped in as the band's new drummer. The 2026 North American run earned rave reactions and multiple sold-out shows, which bassist and founder Steve Harris cited as the reason for extending the tour rather than taking the planned break.

The extension is a deliberate reversal. For most of 2026 the expectation was that Maiden would take all of 2027 off the road, with the final Run For Your Lives shows scheduled for Yokohama in November 2026. Instead, the April–May 2027 leg gives the band a "third and final" run through parts of North America the tour missed the first time around — notably the Pacific Northwest and Southeast — before the production is retired for good. The band are also set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November 2026, making this extended final leg a victory lap of sorts.

Ticket and presale info

The fan club presale ran from October 19 at 10am local time through October 20 at 9am, ahead of the general sale on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 10am local time. Tickets for headline dates are sold through the band's official channels, with VIP packages available through VIP Nation. The two festival dates — Sonic Temple in Columbus and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City — are sold through each festival's own website. As with previous Maiden runs, high-demand dates are expected to sell quickly, so fans should plan to buy at the general sale rather than waiting.
