Judas Priest and Iron Maiden Announce Joint Farewell Tour: “The Metal Titans Final Roar” Set for 2026
Heavy metal history will be made in 2026 as two of the genre’s most legendary bands — Judas Priest and Iron Maiden — join forces for an epic and emotional final chapter. Titled “The Metal Titans Final Roar,” the massive farewell tour will span continents, bringing together decades of thunderous riffs, operatic vocals, and electrifying stagecraft.
This once-in-a-lifetime collaboration marks the first-ever joint tour between the British metal icons, and sadly, it will also be their last. Both bands have confirmed that this will serve as their farewell to global touring, capping off over 100 combined years of groundbreaking metal legacy.
“We’ve shared a fierce respect for decades,” said Judas Priest’s Rob Halford. “To go out together — two British metal giants — is the proper send-off.”
Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson echoed the sentiment:
“This isn’t just a tour — it’s a celebration of everything metal stands for. We’re going out loud, proud, and united.”
The tour will feature co-headlining sets, surprise collaborations, and specially curated setlists spanning both bands’ iconic catalogs — from Breaking the Law to Run to the Hills.
Fans across the globe are already bracing for what promises to be the most emotional and explosive farewell tour in heavy metal history.
