London, UK – October 28, 2024 – Iconic heavy metal band Iron Maiden has electrified fans worldwide with the announcement of their 2025 global tour dates, alongside tantalizing hints of new music in the works. This news follows a series of cryptic posts on the band’s official social media channels, leaving fans speculating about what could be in store. Titled ¨The Legacy Returns¨ tour, this series of concerts marks the band’s first major tour since 2022, promising to deliver the signature intensity that Iron Maiden is known for.
Iron Maiden’s manager, Rod Smallwood, shared insights into what fans can expect: “We’re excited to be back, performing live on a global scale, and the band’s energy is at an all-time high. Our new setlist will include fan favorites but also a surprise or two for those who have followed us from the beginning.” Smallwood emphasized the band’s commitment to delivering a “theatrical, immersive experience,” which will incorporate elements of their past shows, as well as innovative staging and production. The tour will kick off in South America, move through Europe, and culminate with a series of shows in North America.
Rumors of new music have been circulating since frontman Bruce Dickinson hinted in an interview last month that the band had been “experimenting” in the studio. While no official release has been announced, Dickinson’s comments suggest that Iron Maiden’s legacy of innovation and creative evolution is far from over.
Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement, with hashtags like ¨LegacyReturns¨ and ¨IronMaiden2025¨ trending globally. Many are speculating about potential new material being previewed during the live shows, while others eagerly await setlist announcements, hoping for a blend of classic hits and fresh sounds.
Iron Maiden has retained a devoted fanbase since its formation in 1975, with their 17th studio album, Senjutsu, receiving critical acclaim in 2021. Known for their iconic mascot, Eddie, and elaborate stage designs, Iron Maiden has been an enduring force in the music world, proving that metal is timeless.
Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, with presales starting next month.
