Who Are Iron Maiden?
Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden are one of the most influential metal bands on the planet. With over 100 million records sold and a catalogue stacked with era-defining albums, they helped sculpt the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and then proceeded to outgrow it, building a global fanbase that spans generations. The 2026 run marks their official 50th anniversary tour, promising a setlist focused on classic material and a production designed to honour the band’s legacy in suitably colossal fashion.

Joining them is thrash metal heavyweight Megadeth. Founded by Dave Mustaine in 1983, the band became one of the “Big Four” of thrash alongside Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. Surgical-speed riffs, snarling precision and a reminder of why Megadeth remain one of metal’s most technically formidable live acts.
Where Is Iron Maiden Touring In Australia?
Here’s how the Australian leg is shaping up.
Adelaide
Wednesday 11 November 2026, Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Adelaide gets the first taste of the anniversary spectacle, with Iron Maiden and Megadeth taking over the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for one enormous midweek statement. Expect a classics-heavy set drawn from the band’s early catalogue, towering stage design and thousands of voices in full chorus. Book your tickets here.
Melbourne
Friday 13 November 2026, AAMI Park
Melbourne scores a stadium show at AAMI Park, which means open skies, full-scale production and the kind of lighting rig that can probably be seen from space. This date is set to be one of the biggest of the Aussie run, giving Victorian fans a rare chance to see Maiden in full outdoor mode. Grab your tickets here.
Sydney
Sunday 15 November 2026, Allianz Stadium
Sydney’s Allianz Stadium becomes the backdrop for another massive stadium-scale night. With the Harbour City’s appetite for major live shows, this one is going to be a highlight of the tour.
Fifty years in, Iron Maiden are still performing with the stamina of a band half their age, and a stadium crowd amplifies every riff, every scream and every drum fill into something seismic. Book your tickets here.
Brisbane
Wednesday 18 November 2026, Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Brisbane wraps the Australian leg at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, closing things out with an arena show that promises to be loud, tight and unapologetically heavy.
By this point in the run, the band will be firing on all cylinders. For Queensland fans, it is the final local opportunity to witness the anniversary production before the tour barrels on. Book your tickets here.
