Iron Maiden: Final 2026 Live Dates Announced Ahead of Major Touring Break Until 2028!

Iron Maiden have now set an end point for the Run For Your Lives World Tour. The band has released the final tour dates for 2026, and bassist Steve Harris shared his excitement:

“We are very excited to be bringing this Run For Your Lives World Tour to Japan later this year. 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.”

However, Iron Maiden will still play a wide range of shows across Europe this year, including several festivals and stadium concerts. In contrast, 2027 will be much quieter for the British icons. A statement on their website reads:

“These two shows will be extra special as they are the very last shows the band will play until at least 2028, as they take a well-earned break from being on the road for the whole of 2027.”
