What is a Trooper VIP Package? All the ticket tiers of Iron Maiden’s upcoming Run For Your Lives world tour

IRON Maiden promised their fans the “most spectacular and elaborate show ever” when they hit the road for their 2025-26 Run For Your Lives world tour.

Celebrating 50 years since the band’s formation, here’s everything we know about ticket tiers, prices, dates and packages.

The band announced the upcoming extravaganza on social media, sharing: “The Run For Your Lives World Tour will kick off on May 27th next year in Budapest followed by 27 stadium, festival & arena shows around Europe.

“The tour marks 50 years since Steve Harris formed the band in late 1975 and to celebrate this Maiden fans are promised a very special set list, spanning the nine studio albums from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Fear Of The Dark’, with their most spectacular and elaborate show ever!

“Special Guests for the first half of the tour, including the London & Dublin outdoor shows (but not the UK arenas), will be American rockers Halestorm.

“The second half of the tour sees Sweden’s Avatar as guests. And, finally, British metal band, The Raven Age, will open all UK & Ireland shows.”

The UK dates include Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and an enormous show at the London Stadium — bassist and founder Steve Harris is a massive West Ham fan.

Another huge concert is lined up for Malahide Castle, Dublin, where Maiden will be supported by American rockers Halestorm and Brit metal outfit The Raven Age.
