Iron Maiden have announced details of a 2026 European tour - and teased a huge UK headline show.
The upcoming gigs will see the group extend their 50th anniversary Run For Your Lives Tour, which came to the continent earlier this year.
The run will begin on 23 May in Athens, and head to the likes of Sofia, Bucharest, Bratislava, and Hannover.
Other dates confirmed include Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, Décines, and Lisbon, and will finish up with a date in London on 11 July.
Details of the final show in London will be revealed soon, including a venue, which is expected to be a stadium in the capital.
The group said: "The fans have been amazing, the set list is perfect for the 50th Anniversary, the show is arguably our best ever and ticket demand was incredible with pretty much everywhere sold out and over a million fans attending.
"So we all thought we should play some more shows in Europe before heading out to other parts of the world later in the year."
The previous dates on the tour saw the band perform songs exclusively from the acclaimed first seven albums, which fans can expect in 2026.
