Heavy Metal Legends Unite: Judas Priest and Iron Maiden Announce Final Farewell Tour “The Metal Titans Final Roar” for 2026
In a seismic moment for rock history, two of heavy metal’s most legendary forces—Judas Priest and Iron Maiden—have announced a monumental joint farewell tour, titled “The Metal Titans Final Roar,” set to shake stadiums around the globe in 2026.
The news has sent shockwaves through the metal community and beyond, as fans come to terms with the end of an era. This once-in-a-lifetime tour will not only mark the closing chapter of these iconic bands’ touring careers but also serve as a celebration of decades of thunderous music, fierce energy, and cultural impact.
A Long-Awaited Alliance
Although both bands have shared festival stages and reshaped the metal landscape individually for over four decades, a full-fledged joint tour has long been the dream of fans. Now, that dream becomes a reality as Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, and their legendary bandmates gear up to deliver a final, blazing roar across continents.
“It’s time,” said Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford in a press release. “We’ve shared the path with Maiden for years. Now we walk it together one last time—for the fans, for the music, and for the legacy.”
Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson echoed the sentiment: “This tour is about going out at the top—two beasts of British metal, side by side, leaving it all on stage. We’re ready to set the world on fire one last time.”
What to Expect on “The Metal Titans Final Roar”
Both bands promise an unforgettable experience featuring full headlining sets, explosive production, and setlists packed with fan favorites and deep cuts. From “Painkiller” to “Run to the Hills,” attendees can expect an electrifying showcase of the songs that defined generations of metalheads.
While specific dates and venues have yet to be officially confirmed, the tour is expected to span North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia, with a kick-off in the UK—where it all began.
A Legacy Like No Other
Judas Priest, formed in Birmingham in 1969, and Iron Maiden, born in East London in 1975, have together sold over 150 million albums, earned countless awards, and inspired entire subgenres of metal. Their contributions stretch far beyond music—they’ve helped define a culture.
This farewell tour is not just a goodbye—it’s a tribute to decades of blazing trails, breaking boundaries, and bringing people together through the power of heavy metal.
Tickets & VIP Packages
Ticket sales for “The Metal Titans Final Roar” are expected to launch later this year. Fans are encouraged to register early for exclusive pre-sale access and VIP packages, which will reportedly include meet-and-greets, limited-edition merchandise, and commemorative tour memorabilia.
As the countdown to 2026 begins, one thing is certain: the end of this road will be anything but quiet. Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are going out not with a whisper—but with a roar loud enough to echo for eternity.
