Singer Bruce Dickinson also has a handful of solo dates planned for early 2027.
“As many of our fans know, Maiden were planning on taking a break from live performances in 2027, but we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the U.S.A. and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the Northwest and Southeast,” bassist Steve Harris explained in a press release announcing the new tour.
“It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere, but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the U.S.A., which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland.
“At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans, so it’s always a challenge, and we all love a challenge.”
Where Is Iron Maiden Playing in 2027?
After playing shows in Brazil, New Zealand, Australia and Japan to finish their 2026 dates, Iron Maiden will return to North America for 16 additional shows on April 14 as part of its 50th-anniversary Run for Your Lives tour, including a stop in Tacoma, Washington.
