British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have announced their return to North America in spring 2027 for the third and final leg of their massive Run For Your Lives World Tour, celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary.
The newly announced trek will feature 16 additional performances across the United States and Canada, primarily visiting cities not included in the previous North American leg. Joining IRON MAIDEN as special guests will be BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and THE RAVEN AGE.
The tour kicks off on April 14, 2027, at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, and concludes with two major festival appearances: Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on May 14 and Boardwalk Rock in Ocean City, Maryland, on May 16.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE return to North America
The upcoming tour marks BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE’s first North American performances since their 2025 co-headlining run with TRIVIUM.
The Welsh metal band will also be supporting their upcoming studio album, Social Apocalypse, scheduled for release on March 19, 2027.
With their combination of melodic metalcore, aggressive guitar work, and anthemic choruses, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE will bring a modern metal presence to a tour celebrating one of heavy metal’s most influential bands.
Fellow British outfit THE RAVEN AGE will round out the lineup, adding another generation of melodic heavy metal to the anniversary celebration.
