Featuring a setlist from their career-defining early decades and the promise of their biggest show ever! 50 years after the band’s founding in 1975, IRON MAIDEN will kick off their “Run For Your Lives World Tour” next year on May 27 with two nights in Budapest, followed by 27 stadium, festival, and arena shows across Europe. The tour marks the 50th anniversary of the band, founded by Steve Harris at the end of 1975, and to celebrate, Maiden fans are promised a very special setlist spanning the nine studio albums from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Fear of the Dark’, along with their most spectacular and elaborate show ever!
The tour dates are listed below. Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, September 25 at 10 a.m. through an exclusive online presale at Eventim. General sales begin on Friday, September 27 at 10 a.m. As usual, there will be an exclusive pre-sale for members of the IRON MAIDEN fan club, starting Monday, September 23 at 10 a.m. More info at https://www.ironmaiden.com/. Trooper VIP Packages will be available at all shows.
Lead singer Bruce Dickinson emphasized: “Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN, and we’re going to give our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience. This is a tour that will put a smile on your face and make you want to shout. If you’ve seen us before, get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us: what the hell are you waiting for? This is your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! IRON MAIDEN will definitely get you!”
Manager Rod Smallwood added: “50 years of Maiden, and I’ve been there for 46 of them! With well over 100 million albums sold, nearly 2,500 shows in 64 countries (and counting), and countless millions of fans, we still love every second and see every tour as a new challenge to bring something new and exciting to our fans. For this special tour, we’re pulling out all the stops! We’ll be playing classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from ‘Iron Maiden’ to ‘Fear of the Dark’, many of which we haven’t played in years - and many we probably won’t play again in the future. We’ve been working hard for months to create an even more spectacular and elaborate new show that will bring these songs to life like never before. It’s going to be an epic couple of years for IRON MAIDEN and, of course, for Eddie, and we’re excited about what we have in store for you all during our entire 50th anniversary year. I promise you’re all going to be very happy!”
