Iron Maiden 2027 North American tour: dates and tickets

Iron Maiden said it would rest in 2027. Then, on October 16, the band changed its mind and added 16 North American shows, calling it the "third and final leg" of its Run For Your Lives World Tour. The general sale opens Friday, October 23 at 10 a.m. local time, so this is the week to get organised.

This guide pulls together what the band and the trade press have published so far, as of October 23, 2026. Sale times, presales and lineups can change, so check the band's tour page before you buy. We're not connected to Iron Maiden or any ticket seller mentioned here. You can also browse the band on our Iron Maiden page.

Who is opening?

Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age support on the headline dates. The band says it is Maiden's first all-British three-band bill since 1983. The two festival dates are festival slots, so the lineup there is whatever the festival announces.

How do the presales and the general sale work?

• Fan club presale. The band's announcement describes a 23-hour presale for the Iron Maiden fan club (the IMFC), starting Monday, October 19 at 10 a.m. local time and ending Tuesday. It's for fan club members, so it has already come and gone if you weren't signed up.
• Other presales. The band says more presales take place that week. The announcement we read doesn't list the other presales or any codes, so if you got a presale email, follow its instructions and its time zone.
• General sale. Friday, October 23 at 10 a.m. local time. Each venue is on its own local clock, so a Tacoma buyer and an Atlanta buyer go live at different moments.
• The festivals. Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock handle their own passes and on-sales. The band's page points you to their websites for those dates.
• VIP. The band's page says the VIP package includes a seated ticket, access to the TROOPER pre-show party and exclusive TROOPER merchandise, with details at vipnation.com.

We couldn't find a ticket limit published in the announcement. If the checkout page shows one, stick to it: the FTC notes that sellers often limit how many tickets one person can buy to an event.

Tips for getting tickets

• Start from the band's tour page. Use the buy links there rather than a search ad. The page names the sellers and the sale times.
• Pick your show before the sale. With 16 dates, you'll want a first choice, a second choice and a plan for how many tickets you need. Check that the venue is the one you mean: the leg mixes arenas and outdoor amphitheatres.
• Sign in early. Log in to your account on the seller a few minutes before 10 a.m. local time and make sure your payment details are up to date.
• Don't stack tabs or accounts. The FTC says some buyers mask their IP address, use multiple accounts or use bots to buy tickets they can resell. Looking like one of them can get your order cancelled. One device, one account, one browser window.
• Have a backup date. If your first choice is gone, the other dates are listed above, and several fall within days of each other, so a nearby city may be an option.

What if my show sells out?

Check the seller's event page first. Some artists switch on Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange, where fans can resell tickets only for what they paid, fees and taxes included, and Ticketmaster says it's first come, first served. That only applies if the tour is using it, so don't assume it's on. We haven't seen the band say it is.

Promoters sometimes add shows or release extra tickets, but there's no fixed timetable. Follow the band and the venue so you hear first.

If the primary sale is gone, resale is the other route. Ticketmaster or the primary seller linked on the band's page is the first place to buy, and its own resale or exchange tools are the first thing to check. Resale marketplaces are independent of the band and the venue, and the sellers on them set their own asking prices.

Whoever you buy from, pay with a credit card where you can, never pay a stranger by bank transfer, and don't trust tickets offered before the sale opens. If you think a broker is breaking the rules, you can report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
