Iron Maiden will perform at The Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford on May 9, 2027. The show will be the band’s only appearance in the New England area on the final leg of its Run For Your Lives Tour.

The 2027 dates were announced by Live Nation as a third and final leg of the tour, which celebrates the band’s 50th anniversary. Iron Maiden will play 16 shows in North America, mostly in regions the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues. The run will end with festival headline slots at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock.

The band says the production will be its most spectacular yet, with a set list drawn from its early decades. Eddie’s Dive Bars, the fan gathering spaces that have been part of the tour, will return for the 2027 dates.

Bullet for My Valentine will join as special guests. The Welsh band recently announced a new album, “Social Apocalypse,” due March 19, 2027. The Raven Age, which recently supported Iron Maiden on several South and Central American shows, rounds out the all-British bill. It is the first time since 1983 that Iron Maiden has chosen a three-band British lineup.

Guitarist and bassist Steve Harris said the band had planned to take a break from live performances in 2027. After enjoying the current U.S. and Canada leg, the members decided to visit places they missed, particularly the North West and South East. By the end, the tour will have played 107 shows to more than 3 million fans in 36 countries.

Tickets will be available starting with the artist presale beginning on Monday October 19 at 10 am. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, October 23 at 10 am via ticketmaster.com.

The tour will also offer a VIP package and experience for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. The package includes a seated ticket, VIP access to the official Iron Maiden TROOPER pre-show party, exclusive Trooper merchandise, and more. For more information, visit vipnation.com

Iron Maiden, a 2026 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, formed in 1975 and has sold out arenas across North America since 1983, with a short break in the 1990s.
