Run to the hills, San Antonio!<\/p>\n

Legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden will return to the Alamo City on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, to play the Alamodome. The show is a newly added stop on the British act\u2019s Run For Your Lives tour, which is packed with career-defining hits from its early years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole tour has been such great fun,\u201d Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson in a statement. \u201cI really enjoy belting out all these great old songs, and the whole band are loving playing them too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Thrash metal heavyweights Megadeth and Anthrax are opening the San Antonio concert and the tour\u2019s other newly announced North American dates. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are greatly looking forward to bringing this Run For Your Lives to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it,\u201d Maiden bassist Steve Harris added. \u201cIt\u2019s an added bonus to have a few of our good friends on the tour with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

An exclusive Iron Maiden Fan Club presale begins Tuesday, Oct. 28. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 31, at ironmaiden.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tour serves as a 50th anniversary celebration for Maiden, which formed in 1975. To toast a half century of metallic domination, the setlist is chock full of tracks from the band\u2019s first nine albums. In contrast, the 2024 San Antonio stop on its Days of Future Past tour highlighted songs from the 2021 album Senjutsu in addition to 1986\u2019s Somewhere in Time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got all the big ones from that early period, including \u2018Hallowed,\u2019 \u2018Run To The Hills,\u2019 \u2018Trooper,\u2019 \u2018Number Of The Beast,\u2019 \u2018Killers,\u2019 \u2018Powerslave,\u2019 \u20182 Minutes\u2019 \u2026 and some of them we haven\u2019t played in the US for over 20 years!\u201d Dickinson said. \u201cPlus, there\u2019s some real epics including my particular favorite \u2018Rime of the Ancient Mariner\u2019 and \u2018Seventh Son\u2019 \u2026 . We are doing them all and more. I mean, who wouldn\u2019t for a 50th birthday party?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe particularly look forward to playing the huge shows in Montr\u00e9al and the Alamodome in San Antonio, two of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America,\u201d Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood added. <\/p>\n

Megadeth is billing the tour as its last ever before retirement, which founder and frontman Dave Mustaine announced in an August statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional,\u201d Mustaine said. \u201cMost of them don\u2019t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that\u2019s where I\u2019m at in my life right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prices unknown, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, Alamodome, 100 Montana St., (210) 207-3663, alamodome.com.<\/p>\n
