Iron Maiden Announce 2026 North American Tour

I was fully expecting that Iron Maiden would be one of the headliners for Sonic Temple Festival in May, and I was pumped. Now it doesn’t seem like that will happen.

Iron Maiden announced a North American tour earlier today to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They are taking Megadeth and Anthrax along as support. Maiden will be in Europe in May, which makes Sonic Temple basically a no-go. I was also fairly certain that Megadeth would be at Sonic Temple, but now I’m questioning that as well.

Regardless, the Run For Your Lives North American tour starts at the end of August and runs through September. Here are the dates - not very many of them. The band heads to Mexico after the run below.

Notice Iron Maiden will headline Louder Than Life - a festival by the same promoter as Sonic Temple.
