\n\tIron Maiden<\/a> will bring their brand of heavy metal thunder down under later this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe British heavy metal legends today (Feb. 27) announce the Australia dates of their Run For Your Lives World Tour<\/em>, where they\u2019ll play stadiums for the first time in both Melbourne and Sydney, and arenas in Adelaide and Brisbane.<\/p>\n

\n\tMegadeth<\/a> are special guests on the four-date run, which will get underway Nov. 11 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, before hitting Melbourne\u2019s AAMI Park (Nov. 13), Sydney\u2019s Allianz Stadium (Nov. 15), and wrapping up Nov. 18 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Australia visit will mark Iron Maiden\u2019s eighth, dating back to November 1982. Australians can\u2019t get enough of them; Iron Maiden was here fewer than two years ago, in September 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis will be Iron Maiden\u2019s biggest tour of Australia ever,\u201d explains TEG Dainty president Paul Dainty, producer of the forthcoming run. \u201cHeadlining stadiums in Melbourne and Sydney for the first time in their 50-year history is a massive moment. And with Megadeth joining the tour, this is going to be an absolute powerhouse night of metal \u2014 two giants of the genre, one colossal production, and a show Australian fans won\u2019t know what hit them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIron Maiden has had a solid week. On Wednesday, the band\u2019s name was called out for nomination into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame<\/a>. And earlier, on Tuesday, Universal Pictures International (UPI) unveiled\u00a0Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition<\/a><\/em>, a feature film that\u2019s said to trace the rockers\u2019 \u201cremarkable five\u2011decade journey\u201d with \u201cunprecedented access\u201d to the rockers\u2019 official archives.<\/p>\n

\n\tFormed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden are titans of the heavy genre, with 17 studio albums, over 100 million records sold, and more than 2,500 performances across 64 countries. In September 2021,\u00a0Iron Maiden\u00a0earned its highest charting album ever on the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0Senjutsu<\/em>\u00a0debuted at No. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGeneral public tickets for the Australia shows go on sale Friday, March 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n
