Iron Maiden Launch 2026 Run For Your Lives World Tour

(hennemusic) Iron Maiden launched the 2026 Run For Your Lives World Tour in Athens, Greece on May 23, and the band are sharing footage from opening night. The series sees Iron Maiden performing material from their 1980 self-titled debut through to 1992's "Fear Of The Dark."

"The Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 got off to an explosive start in Athens last night!" says the band. "Sofia... See you soon." Following last year's opening leg of the trek - which celebrates the group's 50th Anniversary - 2026 will see the band perform across Europe this summer before a fall run across North and South America before playing dates in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Iron Maiden are among the artists set to enter the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this fall during a taped event on November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles before it airs in December on ABC and Disney+.

The iconic UK band are unable to attend the Rock Hall ceremony due to a busy travel schedule with shows booked on the other side of the world in mid-November.
