Iron Maiden announce 50th anniversary world tour for 2025

As well as the celebratory vibes of the tour’s setlist, the band are also promising their most spectacular live show ever to truly mark the occassion.

“50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them!” says the band’s manager, Rod Smallwood. “With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one we’ re pulling out all the stops!

“We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future. We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.  This is going to be a huge couple of years for Iron Maiden, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year. I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed!”

Support for the first leg of the tour will come from a combination of US rock heavyweights Halestorm, theatrical Swedish metallers Avatar and British metal crew The Raven Age, dates dependant.

Maiden are currently in the midst of the latest leg of their acclaimed Future Past Tour, which is still set to run through Japan, North America, Mexico and South America before the year is out. You can never accuse them of resting on their laurels, eh?
