The extra Run For Your Lives dates were announced on Friday and covered by NME on Sunday. They run from Tacoma on April 14 to Ocean City on May 16, with Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age supporting the standalone shows. Iron Maiden had planned a break in 2027 before deciding to return.
Where the three-date difference comes from
At first glance, the two official lists look inconsistent. The band announces sixteen appearances; Ticketmaster's US guide lists thirteen. The missing three are easy to account for once the cities are compared: Vancouver is in Canada, and the Columbus and Ocean City stops are festival headline sets.
That leaves fourteen standalone shows and two festivals, with different booking routes. The band sends festival buyers to Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock for their ticket information. An arena presale is not the place to look for every festival option.
Before joining a ticket queue
Use the clock at the venue, rather than converting every stop from one American time zone. Ticketmaster's guide gives the US general sale a six-ticket limit. It also lists a Tuesday Reserved by Spotify presale for eligible US Premium subscribers, with a separate two-ticket limit. Prices are to be released when sales begin.
Alongside Run For Your Lives repertoire spans their first nine studio albums, beginning with Iron Maiden and ending with Fear Of The Dark.
