The North American tour dates mark 45 years since Iron Maiden first visited Canada and the USA on the 1981 Killer World Tour, and feature some of the biggest shows the band has ever played here, including at the magnificent Alamodome Stadium in San Antonio. The return to the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles for two sold-out nights on September 25/27 will remarkably be the 25th time the band has played in the City of Angels. This history-making, 50th anniversary tour features a brand new, spectacular state-of-the-art production, on the scale it is intended for – huge stages in outdoor venues, to accompany the once-in-a-lifetime setlist of songs from the band’s groundbreaking first nine albums
