Iron Maiden UK tour 2025: Organisers confirm more tickets will be made available - as band warn against filming with your phone

The Run For Your Life tour will kick off in Budapest on May 27 and is due to hit the UK and Ireland later this summer. The band, fronted by legendary lead singer Bruce Dickinson, will play a total of 31 shows in stadiums and arenas across Europe throughout the summer.

The tour is set to celebrate 50 years since the formation of Iron Maiden. Fans have been promised a spectacular show that will span the decades, and hand-in-hand with this, the band are requesting that fans limit their use of mobile phones during the gig.

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood: “We really want fans to enjoy the shows first hand, rather than on their small screens. The amount of phone use nowadays diminishes enjoyment, particularly for the band who are on stage looking out at rows of phones, but also for other concertgoers.

“We feel that the passion and involvement of our fans at shows really makes them special, but the phone obsession has now got so out of hand that it has become unnecessarily distracting especially to the band. I hope fans understand this and will be sensible in severely limiting the use of their phone cameras out of respect for the band and their fellow fans.

“We would very much like you to be “in the moment” instead and be fully actively involved to enjoy each and every one of these classic songs in the spirit and manner they were first played. This show isn’t just a celebration of our music; it is, as you will see also about our years of art, of Eddie and of the many, many worlds of Maiden we have created for you.

“So please respect the band, respect the other fans and have the time of your lives as you join your Maiden family by singing your heart out, rather than getting your phone out!! It’s really not a lot to ask is it?”

Some fans were left disappointed when most of the band’s dates in the UK and Ireland sold out, but all hope is not lost. Live Nation has confirmed that a handful of additional tickets will be made available for some shows closer to the day of the gig, some on the day of.
