Iron Maiden will headline Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival on Friday, May 14, 2027. Festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents announced the booking October 16 as the first headliner revealed for the four-day Columbus event.
Sonic Temple returns to Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, May 13–16. The full artist lineup is expected the following week; the Iron Maiden announcement adds to previously revealed acts including A Perfect Circle, Primus, Sleeping With Sirens, Clutch, Imminence and Saosin.
A 2027 return for “Run For Your Lives”
The festival appearance is part of Iron Maiden’s newly announced North American return with the Run For Your Lives production. The band’s October 16 announcement describes the spring shows as an additional leg following its 2026 dates.
Florida fans have two dates to watch: May 1 at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa and May 2 at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. Bullet For My Valentine and The Raven Age are listed as support for those concerts.
Sonic Temple passes and tour ticket dates
According to festival organizers, four-day and single-day Sonic Temple passes are on sale, with general-admission and premium options available. Buyers should check the festival’s current pass page for prices and availability rather than assume an early-bird tier will remain available.
The band’s own North American announcement lists an Iron Maiden Fan Club presale beginning October 19 and a general on-sale beginning October 23 at 10 a.m. local time. Festival sales operate separately from the individual headline concerts.
