Iron Maiden’s 2026 Plans: Lots of Shows But No Rock Hall Ceremony Appearance
Iron Maiden will spend the next month touring North America, and keep very busy for the rest of 2026 with dates in South America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. You can see their complete tour itineraryabove— and be warned, they’re planning to take 2027 off from the road so go see them now.
One thing Iron Maiden won’t make time for is an appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Nov. 14 in Los Angeles. The group, who have largely reacted with disinterest when asked about their long-overdue induction into what singer Bruce Dickinson once referred to as a “vulgar” mausoleum, have other plans.
“As the most observant have already noticed, the band will be on tour in Australia around the November date of the Induction ceremony for the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Los Angeles,” manager Rod Smallwood explained earlier this year.
“In accepting, Iron Maiden made it very clear to the R&R HoF that the fans always come first and that the shows will of course go on.”
