LONDON - TUESDAY 24th FEBRUARY: Universal Pictures International (UPI) today, announces the official title, key artwork and International theatrical plans for the upcoming Iron Maiden feature documentary, now titled IRON MAIDEN: BURNING AMBITION.

Documenting one of the most iconic journeys in music history, the film will be released in cinemas in the UK on May 7th 2026. Tickets will go on sale March 18th.

Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the feature‑length documentary charts Iron Maiden’s remarkable five‑decade journey.

Alongside the band, the documentary features on‑camera reflections from prominent admirers including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Chuck D, each speaking about Iron Maiden’s influence on music, culture and generations of fans worldwide.

The newly released key art by Albert "Akirant" Quirantes, offers the first visual look at the documentary.

Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden have grown into one of the world’s most influential and enduring rock bands. Across 50 years they have released 17 studio albums, sold over 100 million records, and performed almost 2,500 concerts across 64 countries.

The documentary arrives as the band continues its two year Run For Your Lives world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium a short distance from where it all began five decades ago.

A recently announced, one of a kind, celebration named EddFest in historic Knebworth Park, England, on July 11th forms part of over 50 shows worldwide in 2026.
