In celebration of their 50th Anniversary, Maiden return to New Zealand for the fifth time, with two Spark Arena shows in Auckland. Fans will be able to witness the brand new, state-of-the-art production to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime setlist of songs from the band’s ground-breaking first nine albums.
As a special treat for their fans in New Zealand, IRON MAIDEN will bring as their very special guests, MEGADETH, whose latest release, their self-titled final studio album (2026), debuted at #5 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart, marking their highest chart position ever in the country.
IRON MAIDEN’S Steve Harris says, “We are very excited to be bringing this RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR to New Zealand later this year. And even more so as we are bringing MEGADETH with us. Dave and I have been friends for years and we are very proud to have them as our special guests on their last-ever world tour. I think our fans will really appreciate this and it will make it an even more memorable show for everyone. We very much look forward to getting down there to see you all at the end of 2026!”
Promoter Paul Dainty AO said, “This will be Iron Maiden’s biggest tour of Australasia ever. And with Megadeth also joining the New Zealand leg, this is going to be an absolute powerhouse night of metal — two giants of the genre, one colossal production, and a show New Zealand fans won’t know what hit them.”
Following this tour, the band will take a well-earned break from touring in 2027. Don’t miss your chance to see Iron Maiden with very special guests Megadeth!
