Iron Maiden is not attending this fall’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. That’s one of the few places they won’t be.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson has now started scheduling solo shows even as the band’s Run For Your Live Tour continues across North America, South America, East Asia and and Oceania. See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below, along with an expanded preview of rock’s biggest fall tours.
Iron Maiden’s set list is focusing on a string of early albums between 1980’s self-titled LP and 1992’s Fear of the Dark. “It’s great playing that set,” Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith tells Billboard. “It’s songs from way back, and they still sound great when you give them an airing. They still sound fresh and powerful.”
These shows arrive some 45 years after Iron Maiden first visited the U.S. and Canada on 1981’s Killer World Tour. For more information and tickets, go to the band’s official website.
When Did Iron Maiden Last Play North America?
Iron Maiden’s most recent appearances in North America go back to 2024. Dickinson noted the band’s lengthy absence during their opening shows last weekend in Toronto, and then waded into an ongoing dispute between Canada and U.S. President Donald Trump.
“How long has it been since we have been to Toronto? Too long, too long. And in Canada, in fact,” Dickinson told the crowd at Scotiabank Arena. “We got here, we crossed Lake Ontario. We will be crossing the Gulf of Mexico. It is a ridiculous state of the world.”

The Rock Hall ceremony is set for Nov. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. That’s actually a travel day for Iron Maiden, who will be between Australian shows in Melbourne on Nov. 13 and Sydney on Nov. 15.
“The BRITs, the Grammys, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, all of it is utterly irrelevant to us.” Dickinson told Classic Rock magazine. “What’s No. 1 at the moment? I couldn’t tell you. It’s meaningless. All I care about is what Iron Maiden are doing next week.”
Where Is Iron Maiden Performing This Year?
Their Run For Your Life Tour kicked off back in 2025. Multi-night stands are set in New Jersey and California for later in September before Iron Maiden heads out for consecutive appearances in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Australia and Japan, among many other stops.
After that, the group will be on hiatus for a bit. Management confirmed that the Nov. 25 and 25 concerts at K-Arena in Yokohama, Japan, will be “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.”

Dickinson’s first solo project since 2024 will arrive next. “The album is heavy as s—,” Dickinson said after recording ended at Dave Grohl‘s studio. This won’t be another multi-media project like The Mandrake Project, which was packaged with an adult comic book series. “It’s kind of standalone,” Dickinson confirmed.
Among his already-scheduled solo concerts is a special performance with the Beethoven Academy Orchestra in Poland. Dickinson’s other tour dates are also below. Head over to his solo website for additional details.
