There’s a buzz around the possibility of a new Iron Maiden documentary, “Run to the Hills: The Story of Iron Maiden“, rumored to be premiering on Netflix in March 2025. If these whispers are true, the film, directed by famed rock documentarian David Morgan, might offer fans an intimate look at the band’s legendary career.
Speculation suggests that the documentary could explore Iron Maiden’s rise to fame since their formation in 1975, featuring rare footage and interviews with key members like Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson. Fans would potentially get insights into pivotal moments such as the release of “The Number of the Beast” and their expansive 1984 “Powerslave” tour.
Whether these rumors will be confirmed remains to be seen, but the anticipation is already building among Iron Maiden enthusiasts.
Iron Maiden’s influence extends far beyond music, as they played a critical role in shaping the heavy metal genre and have consistently pushed the boundaries of live performance with elaborate stage designs and their famous mascot, Eddie. Their loyal fanbase, known for their unwavering support, will find this documentary a true celebration of the band’s legacy.
This potential release follows Netflix’s successful ventures into music documentaries, such as “The Beatles: Echoes of Yesterday“, which will also debut in 2025, offering a new perspective on another legendary band. Additionally, “Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99” garnered attention in 2022, chronicling the infamous chaos of that festival.
Adding to the excitement, Iron Maiden will be embarking on their Run For Your Lives 50th – Anniversary world tour in 2025. As part of this special celebration, the band will perform at PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, on August 2, 2025. This tour will feature a setlist covering classics from their first nine studio albums, providing fans with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The tour is expected to feature Iron Maiden’s most elaborate show yet, showcasing their signature blend of theatrics and music.
With the documentary and tour, 2025 promises to be a great year for Iron Maiden’s fans, as both longtime fans and new listeners are invited to experience the epic story of one of heavy metal’s most enduring and influential bands.
