Iron Maiden have officially confirmed their participation in the **Sweden Rock Festival** as part of their massive *Run For Your Lives World Tour* in 2026. The festival takes place from **3rd to 6th June 2026** in **Sölvesborg, Sweden**, and Maiden’s performance falls squarely within those dates. ([Iron Maiden][1])
This announcement is part of the broader 2026 leg of their 50th anniversary tour, which is heavily focused on tracks from their first nine albums — spanning from *Iron Maiden* (1980) through *Fear of the Dark* (1992). ([Wikipedia][2])
According to Maiden’s official tour page, their Sweden Rock appearance is one of only a handful of festival dates for that summer.
Sweden Rock Festival organizers were equally enthusiastic, naming Iron Maiden among their first major headliners for 2026. ([Sweden Rock Festival][4]) The booking is part of a strong early lineup that also includes big names like Volbeat, Bring Me The Horizon, Twisted Sister, The Offspring, Babymetal, Savatage, and Foreigner.
Ticket sales for Sweden Rock 2026 are set to begin on **24th October at 10:00 CEST**, via Ticketmaster.
For Iron Maiden fans, this represents a huge opportunity — not just to catch the band on their anniversary tour, but to experience a festival set rooted in their classic-era catalogue, likely delivering a powerful, nostalgia-rich performance.
