LIVE NATION are delighted to announce the surprise return to North America of IRON MAIDEN and their spectacular RUN FOR YOUR LIVES show in the spring of 2027 for a very special third and final leg of the tour.

Following the packed shows and rave reactions across Canada and the USA for the recently concluded North American leg of their 50th Anniversary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR Iron Maiden will return to North America in 2027 to play a further 16 shows.

Maiden, a 2026 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, will play mainly in regions that the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, and will conclude with two festival headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock. They will, of course, be bringing their full, dramatic production for each and every performance.

Says Steve Harris, “As many of our fans know, Maiden were planning on taking a break from live performances in 2027, but we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East. It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland. At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it’s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!”

Manager Rod Smallwood comments, “The first leg was terrific, huge sell-out crowds of all ages spanning multi-generations, some of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America with rave fan and media reactions, and just a great all round vibe and camaraderie from our fans, including in our Eddie’s Dive Bars everywhere. And I know as I go to every one of them!  In fact it was so good we just have to come back and play some places we missed and bring Eddie’s Dive Bars with us! 

“It is amazing that even after all these years we played to many more people per show than ever before and headlined our first stadium shows in the USA. We have been selling out arenas in all parts of North America since 1983 - bar a short period in the 90s – and the band’s following here continues to grow despite an almost total lack of mainstream radio support and never even having a track reach the Billboard Hot 100! For that we have to thank our amazing fans, and it proves that word of mouth still means a lot. We look forward to seeing you all again next Spring”.

These shows will DEFINITELY be the last of the already legendary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR which by the end will have played 107 shows to well over 3 million fans in 36 countries – now that really is the proper way to celebrate your 50th anniversary!

Special Guests on the tour will be fellow Brits, Bullet for My Valentine who recently announced their new album ‘Social Apocalypse’ due out on March 19 2027. This tour will be the band’s first highly anticipated shows in North America since their co-headline tour with Trivium early last year. Rounding out this exciting all-British bill will be The Raven Age, who recently supported Maiden on several South and Central American shows. Not since 1983 has Maiden chosen a three-band British bill and this return to their roots suits this final celebration of their early years and their 50th Anniversary!

American melodic black metal outfit Antithetic have announced their first-ever East Coast tour, running this coming November. The trek is dedicated to supporting the band’s critically acclaimed debut album "Kadath" which was released in June 2026. The tour is proudly supported by Mysticide Minds, MOLE! Label, Eternal Blasphemy Productions, New Dark Ages, and GlobMetal Promotions. Commenting on the upcoming dates, the band shares: "This run may be short, but our goal is to execute it with maximum precision, promote it properly, and above all, give people the opportunity to experience our music live. We will be performing in new costumes, featuring custom stage decorations and immersive, medieval dungeon synth intermissions. Surma, Nøkken, Onidaiko, and I cannot wait to bring the true story of the 'Kadath' album to life—and to share the stage with incredible local acts along the way."


TOUR DATES:

Nov. 21 - Rochester, NY @ California Brew House

Nov. 22 - New York, NY @ The Woodshop

Nov. 28 - Philadelphia, PA @ Mousetrap

Nov. 29 - Baltimore, MD @ The Depot


Formed in Rochester, NY, by Hauras (lead guitar/vocals/synths) and Surma (guitar), alongside Nøkken (bass) and drummers Onidaiko and Andrew Dewar, Antithetic is a melodic black metal project blending aggressive Finnish and Russian traditions with grandeur and sorrow. Performing with concealed faces, the band shifts focus from personality to raw ritual. Driven by a central tension of beauty and violence, frost and fire, they deliver a cinematic, multilingual descent through Lovecraftian dreamlands, cosmic horror, and a medieval sense of dread that channels the influence of Dissection and Horna.

Southern California metal giants AS I LAY DYING have announced a brief, forthcoming U.S. headlining tour this November and December, marking the band’s final shows in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Shadows Are Security, and continued momentum following successful runs across Europe and South America. The short run of dates arrives as the band records new material, with a brand-new album slated for release in early 2027 via Napalm Records and additional touring on the horizon.

The upcoming U.S. dates will feature the band’s new lineup consisting of Tim Lambesis (vocals), Chris Clancy (bass, clean vocals), Bill Hudson (guitar), Don Vedda (guitar) and Tim Yeung (drums). 

The impending excursion follows a period of renewed creative focus for the band. In addition to recording new music, AS I LAY DYING recently celebrated the ongoing legacy of their landmark album Shadows Are Security.

Reflecting on the anniversary performances, Tim Lambesis shared:

“I’ve had an incredible time celebrating Shadows Are Security over the past year and reconnecting with the mindset that shaped that album in the earliest days of As I Lay Dying. Reflecting on that chapter has been both nostalgic and deeply motivating—it’s reminded me of a spark that was always there, and that renewed perspective has absolutely influenced the way I’ve approached writing for the new album. These final anniversary dates are a chance to celebrate that connection one last time with the fans who have been part of this journey.”

With new music underway, a revitalized lineup, and an anticipated tour ahead, AS I LAY DYING continue to build toward their next chapter while maintaining a strong presence on stages worldwide.

VIP Meet & Greet packages will be available for fans, offering exclusive opportunities to connect with the band during the tour.

“It's hard to express the genuine excitement I'm feeling in describing the "1984 To Headless" U.S. Tour. Playing those songs from those 1st Four Albums in a combined package like this is something we've never attempted before. In addition to the songs, the entire Stage Show will look like the Album Covers from those Records will Come Alive... right right before your eyes!

Complete with all the History and Bombastic Live Presentations that's made this Band one of the great Live Bands in the Theatrical Rock World. When elements of those Album Covers start to come alive, right on the stage before the people it's gonna be something they'll not soon forget!

I'm also equally thrilled to bring K. K.'s Priest and those iconic Hit's onboard for all the Fall 2026 U. S. Shows. Both Bands... together... on the same stage... on the same night... where do I get my ticket?

It's gonna make the "1984 To Headless" Tour one for The Rock Ages"!” — Blackie Lawless

“Great news! KK’S PRIEST is going to be returning to the US and Canada this September and October 2026! We will be teaming up together with metal legends W.A.S.P. and with over 40 shows, this is going to be an epic metal and steel tour featuring lots of Priest classics!

Legendary UK thrash metal pioneers ONSLAUGHT have announced their long-awaited return to North America, unveiling a tour alongside epic US metal icons WARLORD for Spring 2026.

Marking their first North American headline tour in over a decade, ONSLAUGHT return with a devastating “Force From Hell” set, drawing heavily from their seminal first two 1980s albums—records that helped define extreme thrash metal—complete with a neck breaking selection of classic Sy Keeler–era fan favorites. Legendary for their uncompromising intensity and raw power, ONSLAUGHT are finally back—an unmissable event for thrash fans across the continent.

“Super stoked to be returning to the States for our first full tour in 11 years and with Sy Keeler back at the helm, it’s gonna’ be mega..!

This is just Part 1, we’re bringing this tour to the entire USA so that nobody gets to miss out on this epic setlist..! See you in the Pit..!”   

-Nige Rockett (ONSLAUGHT)

Joining ONSLAUGHT, very special guests, WARLORD will make history with their first-ever North American tour. The band will perform their revered debut E.P. Deliver Us in its entirety, alongside additional classic material spanning their storied 45-year career. This historic run marks a milestone moment for fans, offering a rare opportunity to witness one of heavy metal’s most influential cult acts live on stage.

"Although Warlord is an American band, formed in 1980... in those 45 years since, we never once performed live in the USA (our first gig ever was actually in Germany in 2002).

This year we will set forth on our first ever tour of North America, performing the set that fans would have seen from us if we had done this all those years ago, the full Deliver Us Mini LP, Cannons tracks, Lost And Lonely Days EP and more"

-Mark Zonder (WARLORD)

The Force From Hell & Deliverance Tour 2026 brings together these legendary acts for an unforgettable celebration of classic thrash and epic heavy metal, making it one of the most anticipated North American metal tours of the year.

Japanese sensation LiSA has announced her first-ever headline tour of the UK and Europe for September 2026. The tour comes in celebration of the 15th anniversary of her solo debut and LiSA will reach fans in Milan, Düsseldorf, Paris, and London with hits from across her catalogue for the very first time.

The infectious songs of LiSA have clocked up over a billion streams and won the world over with her passionate energetic performances. Blending pop and rock music, she has connected to audiences with powerful and positive messages sung in both Japanese and English.

LiSA was propelled to international fame with the creation of numerous theme songs for globally popular anime series, including ‘oath sign’ for Fate/Zero, ‘Gurenge’ for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, ‘crossing field’ for Sword Art Online, and ‘ReawakeR (feat. Felix of Stray Kids)’ for Solo Leveling.

LiSA is a beloved icon for J-Pop and anime fans across the globe. With the release of eight studio albums her reach continues to stretch beyond this, and she has also made a strong impact as a live artist worldwide.

Frequently selling out arenas in her homeland, LiSA is also the only artist to headline both anime and rock festivals in her own right. She continues to set new records while further solidifying her reputation and has also completed headline tours to capacity crowds throughout the United States, Mexico, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Following the success of her first North American tour in the summer of 2025, LiSA’s Europe & UK tour this year will be another milestone of her career.

Regarding the forthcoming tour LiSA says:

I am going to Europe and UK for my first tour in September!

Finally, I can come to sing for you!

Thank you everyone for being patient and waiting for this moment. I am so excited to see you all! Let’s have some fun!

Another great day! - LiSA

Shortly after completing their "Sleepless Empire EU/UK Tour", Italian metal icons Lacuna Coil continue their live momentum with the announcement of their "Sleepless Empire US Tour", which is set to start in March 2026. With this run of dates, the band brings their signature dark atmosphere and the emotional intensity of Sleepless Empire to stages across North America:

Lacuna Coil return to the US with special guests Escape The Fate, as well as VOWWS (Mar. 24 – Apr. 13, 2026) and AXTY (Apr. 15 – Apr. 29, 2026). The tour is set to start in New York on March 24th and concludes in Albany on May 1st.

The announcement comes with a corresponding new official video for "Hosting the Shadow", that shows Lacuna Coil in full force during their set at Aftershock festival in October 2025. Joining them on stage is Lamb Of God front-man Randy Blythe, who is featured on the album track.

"Filming the video for 'Hosting The Shadow' at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he's also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage - I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!" - Cristina Scabbia

The track stands out as one of the most powerful moments on Sleepless Empire, and the video captures the raw energy and uncompromising presence of the band on stage.

After dominating 2025 with their explosive new album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me (named one of the best of the year by Kerrang, Metal Hammer and Loudwire), Lorna Shore is ready to do it all over again in 2026 with a massive global tour that kicks off January 23 in Germany and heads into the spring with newly announced dates just added for North America.

Lorna Shore will be joined by Paleface Swiss and Signs Of The Swarm for the North American run, which begins April 17 in Buffalo, NY and runs through May 22 in Montclair, NJ, alongside festival appearances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival. See the full tour dates below.

Alongside today’s tour announcement, Lorna Shore also releases the latest taste of their critically acclaimed new album with the single and video for “In Darkness.” See the music video, directed by David Brodsky for My Good Eye, HERE.

Says frontman Will Ramos of the song, “'In Darkness' is about growing up feeling distant from everyone, a song about anxiety and being an outcast (as many of us metal fans grow from). It’s a song about embracing that outlandish and ostracized feeling. Knowing that we have grown in the shadows, the darkness of the world, but accepting that through that darkness we have become.”

Explosive hard rock band DOGMA return to the States this Spring on the Time to Rise Pt. 1. U.S. Tour 2026 with special guests Frayle.  Kicking off on March 15 in Seattle, WA, and wrapping on April 3 in Philadelphia, this leg of the tour will see the group perform on key dates in New York City, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Dallas, and more.  Full dates are below.  

Frontperson Lilith says, “Last October and November, during our last U.S tour dates, we carried a message that was still taking shape. Some paths were broken before they could be completed, and certain cities were left waiting. That tension did not fade. It stayed with us, sharpened us, and demanded a proper return.”

She continues, “Time to Rise Part I U.S. Tour 2026 emerges from that demand. What comes next carries intention, consequence, and elements that will not announce themselves in advance. There will be moments you are not prepared for, choices you didn’t plan to make, impulses you didn’t expect to feel, and yet, you will feel them. Anaheim and Reno are part of that reckoning. To the sinners who remained present despite uncertainty: this chapter is written with you in mind. What rises now does so with purpose, weight, memory… and temptations that will test how far you’re willing to go.”
