(hennemusic) Iron Maiden is sharing a behind the scenes preview of the band's 2026 Run For Your Lives World Tour. Fans can see footage of the artists working on creating iconic images for the series in celebration of the group's 50th Anniversary.

The "tour is about to embark on its second year!," says the group. "To the artists behind the visuals of the show... Thank you! This wouldn't have been possible without you to show us the story. Here's to all of you, all over the world, who have helped to make the Run For Your Lives Tour a visual epic!"

After launching the multi-year trek with shows across Europe last summer, the 2026 schedule will kick off in the same region on May 23 in Athens, Greece. "We are all loving this Run For Your Lives Tour," says Steve Harris. "The fans have been amazing, the set list is perfect for the 50th Anniversary, the show is arguably our best ever and ticket demand was incredible with pretty much everywhere sold out and over a million fans attending. So we all thought we should play some more shows in Europe before heading out to other parts of the world later in the year."
