Iron Maiden 2026 Tour Announcement – Run For Your Lives Tour Schedule
Iron Maiden are making a monumental return to North America in 2026 with their headline-ready “Run For Your Lives World Tour,” celebrating a legacy nearly half a century in the making. Joined by Megadeth & Anthrax, they’ll kick off on August 29th in Toronto, ON and visit Montreal, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and more before finishing up on September 26th in Vancouver, BC.
“This whole tour has been such great fun,” says Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, referencing the band’s European run this summer. “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 favorite ‘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!” That’s right! The English heavy metal heroes have a whopping five decades to commemorate, in which they’ve accomplished more than most bands could ever dream of. Aside from the sheer number of circle pits they’ve started in the crowd, Iron Maiden has also….
Sold 100 million albums, had chart-topping releases on multiple continents, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and earned lifelong devotion from their passionate fanbase. Their live shows are legendary—hooked on cinematic stage sets, towering visuals, and the unstoppable energy of Eddie (their mascot) brought to life in stadiums. Even the most loyal of metalheads have never seen this many Iron Maiden shirts in one place, and that’s just part of the charm of seeing the band live.
So what can you expect on this tour? The setlist is a trip through the band’s first nine albums—from Iron Maiden and Killers through Fear of the Dark—with full-scale production worthy of a stadium takeover.
