Iron Maiden has just announced the North American dates for their highly anticipated “Run For Your Lives World Tour.” This tour celebrates the band’s 50th Anniversary and will feature performances at stadiums and major amphitheaters across the U.S. and Canada. Fans can expect a brand new, state-of-the-art production designed for large outdoor venues, along with a special setlist featuring songs from their first nine groundbreaking albums.
The band will also headline the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky on September 17, 2026. Steve Harris expressed excitement about bringing the tour to North America, saying, “We hope fans enjoy the show and the setlist as much as we do. It’s great to have our friends MEGADETH on their last tour with us, and we’re thrilled to have Anthrax join us for some of the bigger shows.”
Bruce Dickinson added, “This tour has been a blast! We’re playing all the classics, including ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name,’ ‘Run to the Hills,’ and ‘The Trooper.’ Some of these songs we haven’t played in the U.S. for over 20 years! We’re even including epic tracks like ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ and ‘Seventh Son.’ It’s a celebration for our 50th birthday!”
Manager Rod Smallwood noted that the scale of this tour calls for larger venues than usual. He emphasized the importance of outdoor shows to enhance the visual experience. Fans can look forward to major performances in Montreal and the Alamodome in San Antonio, as well as stadium shows in Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Hershey.
Additionally, the band plans to bring the popular Eddie’s Pop-up Dive Bar experience to North America for the first time. This tour promises to be a memorable celebration for all Iron Maiden fans!
