EFM Global Lights up Iron Maiden's Stage
The Californer/10327884

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- EFM Global (EFM), a leading international logistics consultant specialising in complex projects, announced today that it has successfully managed the first leg of international freight and transportation operations for Iron Maiden's The Futures Past Tour 2024 and Run for Your Lives 2025 World Tours. The tour spans multiple continents and requires one of the most complex logistics operations in the live entertainment industry.

With routing across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United States, Mexico and South America, the tour requires seamless coordination of air, ocean and ground freight to deliver Iron Maiden's signature stadium-scale production to millions of fans worldwide.

"Planning for a tour of this scale begins more than a year in advance," said Jason Bird, VP of Global Music, EFM. "With multi-continent routing, time-sensitive freight schedules and highly specialized production gear, precision coordination is everything. Our goal is to make sure Iron Maiden's fans get the world-class experience they expect, no matter where in the world they see the show."

The "Run for Your Lives"  and "The Futures Past" tours have seen EFM transporting thousands of kilos of specialized production equipment, instruments, video rigs and set pieces across six continents. The effort represents one of the largest logistics pushes in live entertainment, with over 35,000 kilos of equipment moved across six continents. EFM has coordinated sea, air and road freight to transport instruments, lighting rigs, audio systems, pyrotechnics, staging and Iron Maiden's iconic "Eddie" costume to every stop on the 2024 and 2025 world tours.

The live entertainment industry continues to face evolving logistics challenges, from supply chain constraints to rising freight costs. Some artists, like Harry Styles, have opted for limited-residency performances, such as his two-week Madison Square Garden run, to mitigate disruptions and cost volatility. In 2022, Jack White's "Supply Chain Issues" Tour was one of the first to shine a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes struggles of moving massive productions on a tight schedule. Today, as tours grow larger and more global than ever, the logistical demands on artists, bands and production teams have never been higher, making precision planning and expert coordination essential for success.
