Iron Maiden has announced that their 2026 North American tour will include a stop in Shakopee, Minnesota. The iconic heavy metal band will perform at the Mystic Lake Amphitheater on September 19, 2026, with support from Megadeth at select dates. The tour comes ahead of the release of the band's new documentary, 'Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition,' which is set to premiere in theaters on May 7.

Why it matters

Iron Maiden's visit to Shakopee is a major coup for the city, as the legendary band rarely tours the Midwest. The concert is expected to draw thousands of metal fans from across the region, providing a significant economic boost to local businesses. Additionally, the release of the band's documentary will further raise the profile of Iron Maiden and their enduring legacy in the music industry.

The details

Iron Maiden's 2026 North American tour will feature the band's classic lineup of Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Nicko McBrain. The Shakopee show is one of the few Midwest stops on the tour, with the majority of the dates taking place on the coasts. Tickets for the Mystic Lake Amphitheater concert are expected to sell out quickly when they go on sale later this month.
