Iron Maiden is hitting the road in 2026 for a North American tour! This will be part of their “Run for Your Lives World Tour,” celebrating their milestone 50th anniversary and their first nine albums. The tour kicks off on August 29 in Toronto and wraps up on September 29 in San Antonio.
Fans can look forward to shows in major cities like Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. They’ll even perform at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville. Joining them on this tour are rock legends Megadeth, who will play at every show, and Anthrax, who will join for a few select dates.
Bassist Steve Harris expressed excitement about the tour, emphasizing how much fun the band has playing these classic hits. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson shared that they’ll perform some of the big favorites, including “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” “Run to the Hills,” and “The Trooper.” Some songs haven’t been played live in the U.S. for over 20 years!
Recent social media buzz shows that fans are thrilled. Discussions and shares about the tour have lit up platforms like Twitter and Instagram, showing just how eager everyone is to see the band live.
For fans wishing to secure tickets, a pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members starts October 28 at 10 a.m. local time, with general sales launching on October 31 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.
As live music continues to bounce back after the pandemic, this tour signifies a strong return. In fact, a survey from the National Independent Venue Association showed that 89% of respondents feel live music is essential for community and culture.
