Heavy metal icons Iron Maiden have announced their massive 'Mausoleum' tour, set to kick off in May and run through the summer.

The tour will feature special guests Ghost and Arch Enemy, with all three bands bringing their unique energy to over 20 stops across North America.

The trek is expected to be one of the most extensive metal tours this year, covering over a month's worth of dates from coast to coast.

Iron Maiden fans can expect their usual bombastic stage production, complete with elaborate pyrotechnics and iconic mascot Ed Force One.

Meanwhile, Ghost will bring their theatricality and dark, mystical vibe to the stage.

"We're thrilled to announce this massive tour," said Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson in a statement.

"Our fans have been asking for more live dates for years, and we're happy to deliver.

We'll see you on the road!" Tour dates kick off May 20th in Miami, Florida, with the final show scheduled for June 24th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The tour will feature Arch Enemy as well, making it one of the most anticipated metal tours this year.

With over two decades of history and hits like "The Number of the Beast" under their belt, Iron Maiden is sure to deliver a performance that will leave fans breathless.
