Iron Maiden is gearing up to bring their thunderous Run For Your Lives World Tour to North America, marking their 50th anniversary with a series of powerhouse performances across the United States and Canada. The legendary British metal outfit is pulling no punches, with a lineup that includes Megadeth on every date and Anthrax joining for select stadium shows.
Spanning major venues from Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena to San Antonio’s massive Alamodome, the tour promises fans a grand-scale celebration of Maiden’s legacy. Frontman Bruce Dickinson is relishing the chance to perform the band’s early classics once again, reviving fan-favorites like “The Trooper,” “2 Minutes to Midnight,” “Powerslave,” and “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.” Some tracks haven’t echoed through American venues in over 20 years.
Bass player and founding member Steve Harris emphasized the camaraderie behind the tour, noting the added excitement of sharing the stage with old friends. With Megadeth on their final tour and Anthrax rekindling memories of their 2016 run with Iron Maiden, the lineup is a heavy metal dream.
The production is set to match the scale of the occasion, with a focus on nighttime shows that fully showcase the band’s elaborate visuals. Fans can also expect Iron Maiden’s signature extras, including the Eddie’s Pop-up Dive Bar experience, exclusive merchandise, and the Trooper VIP Experience featuring the band’s namesake beer.
In a move that’s become a hallmark of the band’s recent shows, Iron Maiden is once again urging fans to pocket their phones and immerse themselves in the live spectacle. It’s all part of their commitment to keeping the energy raw, present, and unforgettable.
Whether you’re catching them under the stars in Hershey, at the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky, or headbanging in the pit at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, Iron Maiden’s 50th anniversary tour is shaping up to be a milestone moment in rock history.
