Iron Maiden has again expanded their ongoing 50th anniversary Run for Your Lives World Tour, after a celebrated run through Europe earlier this year. They initially announced a new 12-date North American leg, then quickly added several more shows.
These latest concert stops follow in October 2026 through Central and South America, with seven special guest bands. See a complete list of the just-announced dates, cities and venues below.
General ticketing begins next week through IronMaiden.com, except for El Salvador and Costa Rica where they’ll go on sale in February. Fan club presales for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Chile also start next week. The band says more dates are still to come.
Who’s Opening for Iron Maiden in 2026?
The set list features songs found on Iron Maiden’s first nine studio albums, from 1980’s Iron Maiden to 1992’s Fear of the Dark. “This whole tour has been such great fun,” frontman Bruce Dickinson said in an official statement. “I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too!”
