Iron Maiden announce ‘Run For Your Lives’ European tour to mark 50th anniversary
Horns up!

Iron Maiden have announced their ‘Run For Your Lives’ European tour, which will see the metal icons traversing the continent next year.
The group will mark 50 years together next year and will mark the occasion with shows at venues including the London Stadium – which marks the first time they’ve played the cavernous venue. It will also mark something of a homecoming for guitarist Steve Harris, a notable West Ham fan.
It’s also set to be a storied look back at their career, featuring a special setlist containing only songs from their first nine studio albums, ranging from their self-titled debut to Fear of the Dark.
The tour will kick off in late May in Budapest, before the UK leg takes in dates in cities such as Birmingham, Manchester and London.
General tickets for UK and Ireland dates will go on sale from Friday September 27 12pm BST via LiveNation.
“Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience,” said frontman Bruce Dickinson.
“This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! IRON MAIDEN’s definitely gonna get ya!”
