Iron Maiden is returning to France! The British band will perform at the Eurockéennes de Belfort on July 3, 2025, and then on July 19, 2025, at La Défense Arena in Paris. A presale is scheduled for Wednesday, September 25, starting at 10 a.m., on the concert organizer’s website. General sales will begin the following day at the same time!

These two dates are sure to delight long-time fans, as the band is set to celebrate its 50-year career. Titled “Run For Your Lives,” in reference to the iconic Run To The Hills, the concert series will highlight only the tracks from the band’s first album, Iron Maiden, released in 1980, up to Fear of The Dark, the band’s twelfth album released in 1992. Note that the Swedish band Avatar will accompany Iron Maiden on this tour.

Iron Maiden’s last performance dates back to 2022. It was also at La Défense Arena in Paris, as part of the tour promoting their latest album, Senjutsu. In the meantime, the band’s singer, Bruce Dickinson, has released a new solo album titled The Mandrake Project. He also came to discuss it in the Oüi FM studios at the time of the album’s release.
