Iron Maiden have announced details of their final live dates “until at least 2028”.

The heavy metallers’ incredible Run For Your Lives World Tour will take them through to November 24-25, 2026 where they’ll wrap things up in Yokohama, Japan for two nights at the K-Arena. After that, a statement confirms that the band will “take a well-earned break from being on the road for the whole of 2027”.

“We are very excited to be bringing this Run For Your Lives World Tour to Japan later this year,” enthuses Steve Harris. “And even more so as we are ending the entire two year world tour in Yokohama. I have always loved spending time in Japan, and we enjoy coming back whenever we can to play for our fans there. So it feels extra special for us to be sharing the final two nights of this incredible tour with you all in Japan. It’s going to make it a truly memorable occasion for us all.”

Closer to home, of course, Maiden will be putting on one hell of an extravaganza at Knebworth on July 11, complete with their very own EDDFEST. They’ll also be bringing new documentary film Burning Ambition to cinemas on May 7, so there’s plenty to enjoy before we hopefully catch them again in 2028…
