Metal history is about to be rewritten as joins forces with heavy metal legends for the colossal “Legends of Steel World Tour.” In what fans are already calling a once-in-a-lifetime alliance, the masters of battlefield anthems will share the stage with the pioneers of epic metal storytelling, delivering a production built for stadiums, firestorms, and unforgettable nights. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the global metal community, uniting generations under one banner of steel, history, and thunder.
The tour promises a theatrical spectacle unlike anything either band has attempted before. Sabaton’s signature war-themed stage design will merge with Iron Maiden’s larger-than-life visuals, complete with towering set pieces, explosive pyrotechnics, cinematic backdrops, and appearances from Maiden’s iconic mascot, Eddie. Fans can expect a setlist packed with timeless classics and modern anthems, blending galloping riffs, soaring vocals, and the kind of crowd-roaring choruses that turn stadiums into battlefields of sound.
Cities across Europe and North America are already preparing for impact. The tour will storm through Stockholm, London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, São Paulo, and Mexico City, with additional dates expected due to overwhelming demand. Industry insiders are predicting instant sell-outs, as both bands command fiercely loyal fanbases that span decades and continents.
The “Legends of Steel World Tour” officially launches on May 14, 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden, before marching across Europe through June and July, hitting London on June 6 and Berlin on June 18, then crossing to North America in August with New York on August 8 and Los Angeles on August 22, before concluding in São Paulo on September 19, 2026. With dates now revealed and anticipation reaching fever pitch, 2026 is set to become the year metal unites under one unstoppable force.
