Iron Maiden: Run For Your Lives World Tour 2025 – A Heavy Metal Legacy Unleashed

Budapest’s Aréna crackles with 2025’s electric roar as Iron Maiden thunders into “The Number of the Beast,” Bruce Dickinson’s operatic wail and Steve Harris’s galloping bass igniting 14,000 fans. A metalhead from Vienna, decked in an "Eddie" patch jacket, headbangs furiously, fists raised to the sky. “Maiden’s my religion—this is epic,” he shouts, lost in the song’s fiery chaos. That’s the pulse of the Iron Maiden Tour 2025/2026, kicking off May 27 in Budapest, Hungary. Celebrating 50 years since Steve Harris formed the band in 1975, Iron Maiden storms 27 cities, from Prague (May 31, Letnany Airport) to Warsaw (August 2, PGE Narodowy) and a hypothetical New York stop (September 20, Madison Square Garden). Expect classics like “Run to the Hills,” “Fear of the Dark,” and "Senjutsu" tracks, with 6 million Spotify fans screaming. Tickets are nearly sold out—join the waitlist!

From London Pubs to Metal Titans

Formed in 1975 in London’s East End, Iron Maiden—Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Janick Gers, and Nicko McBrain—defined heavy metal with 1980’s "Iron Maiden" and 1982’s "The Number of the Beast", a platinum breakthrough, per "Billboard". With 110 million albums sold, a 2011 Grammy for “El Dorado,” and 17 studio albums, their 2021 album "Senjutsu" hit No. 3 on Billboard 200. Known for mascot "Eddie"’s iconic presence, their 2025 tour, marking their 50th anniversary, is a global spectacle, per "Metal Hammer". With 3 million Instagram followers, Maiden’s legacy burns bright.
