Iron Maiden are bringing the Run For Your Lives World Tour to stadiums and amphitheaters across North America in 2026.
To celebrate their 50th anniversary, Iron Maiden has announced dates for 2026 for their Run For Your Lives World Tour. They have announced that this tour will have a once-in-a-lifetime setlist, as well as a new, state-of-the-art production. If you’ve never seen Iron Maiden perform live, this is one you really should not miss. They always put on one hell of a show, and this one sounds like it’s going to kick things up a notch.
The tour includes shows in Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Antonio. They will also be headlining Louder Than Life in Kentucky. All headline dates will feature very special guests Megadeth, and Anthrax will also perform at selected stadium shows. This tour will mark 45 years since they first toured Canada and the US, and will include some of the biggest shows they have ever performed stateside.
Steve Harris says, “We are greatly looking forward to bringing this RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it. It’s an added bonus to have a few of our good friends on the tour with us. MEGADETH are playing all the shows and it’s an honour to have them join us on their last ever tour. We also have Anthrax with us on the bigger shows, we had a great time with them when they came out with us on Ed Force One around the world in 2016. We’re delighted to have both bands with us for this tour and know our fans will enjoy seeing them.”
Bruce Dickinson states, “This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too! We’ve got all the big ones from that early period including Hallowed, Run To The Hills, Trooper, Number Of The Beast, Killers, Powerslave, 2 Minutes… and some of them we haven’t played in the US for over 20 years!! Plus there’s some real epics including my particular favourite ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ and Seventh Son… We are doing them all and more. I mean, who wouldn’t for a 50th birthday party!”
Presale tickets will be available through the Iron Maiden Fan Club from Tuesday, October 28. Headlining shows will go on general sale on Friday, October 31.
