Iron Maiden Makes an Epic Return with New Album and World Tour in 2025
Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden are officially back, and they’re doing it in the most epic way possible — with a brand-new album and an explosive world tour set for 2025. Fans across the globe have been waiting for this moment, and the band has delivered in true Iron Maiden fashion.
After months of speculation and cryptic teasers on social media, Iron Maiden confirmed their return in a live-streamed announcement that sent shockwaves through the metal community. The new album, titled “Shadow of the Beast”, is scheduled for release in early September 2025 and is said to blend the band’s classic sound with fresh, powerful themes. Legendary frontman Bruce Dickinson called the project “a culmination of everything Iron Maiden stands for — epic storytelling, powerful riffs, and unapologetic energy.”
The accompanying world tour, dubbed the “Legacy Unchained Tour”, will kick off in London on October 10, 2025, and will span over 30 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and Germany. The band promises a setlist packed with new tracks alongside timeless hits like The Trooper, Run to the Hills, and Fear of the Dark. Their signature stage theatrics — complete with pyrotechnics, elaborate sets, and the return of their iconic mascot Eddie — are set to take center stage once again.
Iron Maiden’s return is not just a comeback — it’s a revival of heavy metal’s golden spirit. With over four decades of dominance and an unwavering global fanbase, this next chapter promises to be one of their most electrifying yet.
Tickets for the Legacy Unchained Tour go on sale in May, and if history is any indication, they won’t last long. For fans of classic metal, 2025 is shaping up to be a year to remember.
