IRON MAIDEN has announced the final leg of its 50th anniversary "Run For Your Lives" tour, concluding with two headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock in 2027. The tour, which includes 107 concerts across 36 countries and has drawn over three million fans, will mark the end of the global run. The band confirmed in a press release that these shows will be the last of the tour, effectively ending the series after decades of touring.

The 2027 North American leg follows a recent tour that concluded in late September. Prior to this, MAIDEN was expected to go on hiatus after completing the 2026 leg of the tour, which runs through November. The band will perform a classic-era setlist spanning material from its debut album to 1992's "Fear Of The Dark", revisiting songs from the band's earliest years.

The performances are described as a cinematic experience, with members delivering high-energy shows that emphasize musical chemistry and live connection. The tour's conclusion comes as MAIDEN prepares for its induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with the ceremony airing on ABC and Disney+ the following month. Adrian Smith, who joined the band in 1980, emphasized the enduring bond between the members, noting that the band remains united and continues to enjoy performing live, with growing audiences of younger fans.

The tour's legacy will be cemented as a defining chapter in the band's history.
