AN iconic rock band are set to host a gig in Glasgow to celebrate 50 years.
Iron Maiden will perform at the city's OVO Hydro on Monday, June 30, 2025, as part of their Run For Your Lives World Tour.
The tour - which will begin in Budapest - will mark five decades since Steve Harris formed the band.
The well-known English band were formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975.
The group currently consists of Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson, Nicko McBrain, and Janick Gers.
They are known for their tunes including The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Wasted Years, The Number of the Beast, and many more.
Announcing the massive concert, lead singer Bruce said: “Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience.
"This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat.
"If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level.
"If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! IRON MAIDEN’s definitely gonna get ya!”
Meanwhile, the bands Manager Rod Smallwood added: “50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them!
"With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one we’ re pulling out all the stops! "We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from IRON MAIDEN to FEAR OF THE DARK, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future.
"We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.
"This is going to be a huge couple of years for IRON MAIDEN, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year.
"I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed!”
During their Glasgow show, the group will be joined by special guests The Raven Age.
