The wait is over for metal fans worldwide — Iron Maiden has officially opened general ticket sales for their massive “Run For Your Lives Tour 2026”, and the excitement is reaching fever pitch. The announcement includes the much-anticipated UK show at Knebworth Park, which is already being hailed as one of the most historic live events of the band’s legendary career.
After weeks of hints, teasers, and speculation, the majority of tour dates across the globe are now available to the public. Fans wasted no time, with tickets reportedly selling out in record speed. This global run promises to be nothing short of monumental, continuing Iron Maiden’s reign as one of the most powerful and enduring forces in heavy metal history.
The upcoming tour represents a new chapter following the success of The Future Past Tour. According to frontman Bruce Dickinson, Run For Your Lives will be “a journey through Maiden’s spirit — fire, metal, and immortality.” Fans can expect a mind-blowing experience featuring a blend of the band’s greatest hits, deep cuts, and a few surprises, all powered by cutting-edge production and unmatched showmanship.
Among the standout dates is the Knebworth Park performance, described as a “one-night-only, full-scale production event.” Known as a sacred venue in rock history — having hosted legends like Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Oasis — Knebworth will now welcome Iron Maiden for an unforgettable night. Expect expanded pyrotechnics, never-before-seen visuals, and exclusive merchandise only available at this special show.
Spanning Europe, South America, North America, and Asia, the Run For Your Lives Tour will see Iron Maiden dominate festival stages and stadiums across the world throughout mid to late 2026.
