Iron Maiden have announced a very special UK tour taking place in June 2025.
Marking 50 years since bassist Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden, the Run For Your Lives World Tour kicks off at Budapest Arena on Tuesday 27th May, and takes in 27 stadium, festival & arena shows across European.
The tour includes four shows in the UK with Iron Maiden playing indoor concerts at Birmingham Utilita Arena, Manchester Co-Op Live and Glasgow OVO Hydro plus a colossal outdoor show at London Stadium – home of Steve Harris’ beloved West Ham United.
Special Guests for the London concert will be the mighty Halestorm, while The Raven Age open all four shows.
In keeping with the 50th anniversary celebrations, the setlist will see Iron Maiden play songs exclusively from their first nine albums – from 1980’s ‘Iron Maiden’ to 1992’s ‘Fear of the Dark.’
The metal legends have also promised the all-new live production will be their most spectacular and elaborate show ever.
Tickets to the UK leg of Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives Tour are on sale now.
Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood comments: “50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them! 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!”
