Iron Maiden has shared details for the North American leg of their ‘Run for Your Lives Tour’ across stadiums and major amphitheaters throughout the United States and Canada in celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary.
The heavy metal legends will make stops in Toronto, Montreal, Harrison, Boston, Bristow, Charlotte, Hershey, Louisville, Shakopee, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Antonia between August 29 and September 28, which includes a headlining gig at Louder Than Life, the nation’s biggest rock festival, on September 17, 2026 at the Highland Festival Grounds in Kentucky. Megadeth and Anthrax will serve as support in Montreal, Harrison, Los Angeles and San Antonio, with just Megadeth opening the remaining shows.
Singer Bruce Dickinson shared: “This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too! We’ve got all the big ones from that early period including Hallowed, Run To The Hills, Trooper, Number Of The Beast, Killers, Powerslave, 2 Minutes… and some of them we haven’t played in the US for over 20 years!! Plus there’s some real epics including my particular favourite ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ and Seventh Son… We are doing them all and more. I mean, who wouldn’t for a 50th birthday party!”
Bassist Steve Harris added: “We are greatly looking forward to bringing this Run for Your Lives Tour to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it. It’s an added bonus to have a few of our good friends on the tour with us. MEGADETH are playing all the shows and it’s an honour to have them join us on their last ever tour. We also have Anthrax with us on the bigger shows, we had a great time with them when they came out with us on Ed Force One around the world in 2016. We’re delighted to have both bands with us for this tour and know our fans will enjoy seeing them.”
