Iron Maiden's Run For Your Lives World Tour heads to North America in 2026
Iron Maiden are heading to the United States in 2026 to continue their 50th anniversary trek.
Iron Maiden have set the dates for their 2026 North American leg of the Run For Your Lives World Tour.
The heavy metal legends' acclaimed 50th anniversary jaunt has been all around the world and will head across the pond next summer.
The trek will kick off in Toronto, Canada, on August 29, and wrap in San Antonio on September 29.
Support on select dates will come from the mighty Megadeth and Anthrax.
An exclusive Iron Maiden Fan Club presale begins on October 28. Headline shows go on general sale on October 31. Head to ironmaiden.com for all ticketing and tour information.
The Fear of the Dark rockers will also headline America’s biggest rock festival, Louder Than Life at the Highland Festival Grounds in Kentucky on September 17.
Steve Harris said: “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 commented: “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!”
The group's longtime manager Rod Smallwood noted: “For a tour celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Iron Maiden, the scale and incredible visual aspects of this tour deserve larger venues than the arenas we have generally played in the past."
