The Run For Your Lives World Tour returns to Europe and beyond in 2026!
Iron Maiden have announced the first shows of their very busy schedule for 2026, starting with a summer return to Europe to predominantly play festivals and also stadiums in countries and regions not visited in 2025. Further dates for the rest of the world will be announced later.
The initial European dates are listed below, with more festival appearances to be announced in due course. It’s a busy year so following this there will be no Maiden shows in 2027.
A special UK headline show will take place on July 11th 2026 - more details will be revealed for this over the coming days.
The band will also to return to Paris so that our Run For Your Lives show can be filmed for our fans and for posterity! We chose an indoor stadium to see the best of the production and also a great audience which we know Paris is and always has been for us. It was great to see fans embrace the request to limit phone use on the recent tour, creating a powerful atmosphere that elevated every show. For 2026, the band asks audiences to continue this approach, ensuring concerts are experienced fully in the moment.
In Paris only, general admission tickets (standing) will be entirely phone-free with Yondr’s secure pouch system, guaranteeing the best possible environment for both fans and filming. More information on this can be found on IronMaiden.com.
Rest assured we will be visiting as many of you as possible next year, before the band take a well-earned break from the road in 2027.

@TerryFranconia@AdamSchefter As a Washington fan for 40+ years, how did Carson "I'll just sling it somewhere within 15 yards of one of my guys" Wentz make it *onto* the list??
@PlanetRockRadio@WyattVW I saw @gunsnroses@marqueew1 in 87, though I have zero recollection of it (there may have been beers involved!)!! My mate says I was there, I've seen his ticket...also Metallica at the Lyceum in 84, still 1 of my favourite ever gigs 🎸
@PlanetRockRadio But why should they be able to?? But any kid who likes St Dave of Grohl and the Foos will have gone back and found them. Rock ain't dead, just Gene's mind 🤘
"If you walked down the street and asked a 20-year-old, 'Name a (Nirvana) song,' they wouldn't be able to tell you."
Gene Simmons has yet again doubled down on his unshakable belief that rock music is dead.

@MassiveWagons that show @O2SBE was awesome!! Maybe the best I've seen you guys play, looked like you were absolutely loving it - we certainly were! @florenceblackUK great as always, #CamCole too. Now trying to work out how I can get to Dublin and/or Belfast 🎸🎸🤘
@badtouchrocksuk@TheDustCoda I've actually got tickets for Dirty DC up the road in the Garage on the London night, so whilst I like the Dust Coda (their last gig at Dingwalls was great 🤘) it'd be handy if you guys were on first that night 😀
🚨⚡TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT⚡🚨
Excited to announce we'll be joining forces with @TheDustCoda for a UK Co Headline tour next year. We can't wait to get back out on the road & see your beautiful faces!
TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY - 10AM
