Credit: Iron Maiden Fri 16 October 2026 16:32, UK Iron Maiden have announced new tour dates across North America in April and May 2027, despite previously announcing a touring hiatus until “at least” 2028. Earlier this year, the metal icons shared with fans two live dates in Japan set to take place this November, along with the message that the gigs would mark 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.”However, the band has gone back on their word and announced 16 spring shows set to take place next year. The new run will kick off on April 14th in Tacoma, and conclude after a month on May 16th with a final show in Ocean City. Along the way, they will be joined by special guests Bullet for My Valentine and The Raven Age.

The legends continue their Run For Your Lives tour into next year. The post Iron Maiden Announces 2027 North American Tour, Headlining Sonic Temple appeared first on Metal Injection .

Live Nation has announced the surprise return to North America of IRON MAIDEN and its spectacular "Run For Your Lives" show in the spring of 2027 for a very special third and final leg of the tour. Following the packed shows and rave reactions across Canada and the USA for the recently concluded North American leg of their 50th-anniversary "Run For Your Lives" tour, IRON MAIDEN will return to North America in 2027 to play a further 16 shows. MAIDEN, a 2026 inductee into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, will play mainly in regions that the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, and will conclude with two festival headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock. They will, of course, be bringing their full, dramatic production for each and every performance. Says IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris: "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 USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East.

Marvel Studios’ release of Avengers: Endgame: Encore was a shrewd gambit for a few reasons: It put the studio’s most successful film back in conversation right after the juggernaut success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day; it tided die-hards over with new footage ahead of December’s Avengers: Doomsday; and, perhaps most importantly, it raked in an additional $138 million for the film, reinstating its position as the worldwide box office champion over James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron, who certainly doesn’t spend his precious time fretting about such matters as lifetime financial grosses and being the best in the world at stuff, recently expressed his congratulations to Marvel for once again overtaking his 2009 sci-fi film. “You are one of the people,” the director wrote (per The Wrap) in a composite image from Avatar, with Iron Man at the center of a welcoming Na’vi tribe. “Congratulations to Marvel and the #1 Avengers: Endgame: Encore for bringing moviegoers to the cinemas! – Jim Cameron.”
