**Iron Maiden Extend ‘Run For Your Lives’ World Tour Into 2026 With Fresh European Dates**
Heavy metal titans **Iron Maiden** have officially announced an extension of their monumental *Run For Your Lives World Tour*, adding a brand-new leg of **European dates for 2026**. Originally scheduled to wrap up in late 2025, the tour’s overwhelming demand and record-breaking sellouts have inspired the band to keep the engines roaring into the following year — much to the delight of fans across the continent.
The extended run will see the legendary group return to major cities such as **Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Prague, and Stockholm**, alongside first-time appearances in smaller but passionate metal strongholds including **Kraków, Oslo, and Lisbon**. Promoters have already described the 2026 shows as “bigger, louder, and more theatrical than ever,” with **new stage production, updated setlists**, and **exclusive visuals** celebrating Iron Maiden’s 50-year legacy.
Frontman **Bruce Dickinson** expressed his excitement, saying, “We’ve been absolutely blown away by the response so far. The fans have been louder than ever, and we can’t wait to bring the fire back to Europe one more time. The energy out there has been pure magic.”
The tour, which began in early 2025, features an electrifying mix of classic hits like *“The Trooper”*, *“Fear of the Dark”*, and *“Run to the Hills”*, alongside deep cuts and surprises that showcase the band’s musical evolution. With their signature stagecraft, pyrotechnics, and unstoppable passion, Iron Maiden continue to prove why they remain one of the most enduring forces in rock and metal history.
