Veteran rockers Iron Maiden announce Scottish date ahead of world tour

The band, formed by Steve Harris in 1975, will embark on the tour with gig in Budapest, followed by 27 stadium, festival & arena shows around Europe.  

Fans are promised a very special set list, spanning the nine studio albums from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Fear Of The Dark’, with what’s being billed as the group’s ‘most spectacular and elaborate show ever’. 

Glasgow is the only Scottish date on the tour, with the band playing the OVO Hydro on 30 June 2025.

“This is a tour that’s going to put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. 

“ If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing.”

 On Saturday June 28th the band will perform at the London Stadium, home of West Ham Football Club – the team that band founder Steve Harris has supported throughout his life.

Manager Rod Smallwood added: “Fifty years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them. With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one we’ re pulling out all the stops.”

“We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future.  

“We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.   

“This is going to be a huge couple of years fo Iron Maiden, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year.”
