The iconic Run For Your Lives World Tour celebrates 50 years since Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden in late 1975. To mark this milestone, fans are in for a truly special experience with a setlist spanning the band’s first nine studio albums—from the debut Iron Maiden to Fear Of The Dark. Promising their most spectacular and elaborate show ever, this tour is not just a concert—it’s a celebration of decades of music, art, and the legendary mascot Eddie, who has become an integral part of Maiden’s identity.
In keeping with the spirit of the 1980s, when many of these songs were first performed live, Iron Maiden wants fans to fully immerse themselves in the moment. In today’s digital age, the band is asking fans to limit phone and tablet use during the concerts. Rod Smallwood, the band’s longtime manager, explains that excessive filming detracts from the experience—for both the band on stage and the audience around them.
He emphasizes that fans’ passion and involvement make the shows truly special. Yet, the modern obsession with recording through small screens has become a distraction. Iron Maiden hopes their fans will respect the live experience by focusing on the music and energy in the room, rather than viewing the show through a device.
This tour is about more than music; it’s about sharing the world Iron Maiden has created over the decades. So, put down your phones, sing your heart out, and join your Maiden family in celebrating this incredible milestone. For tickets and updates, visit ironmaiden.com/tour.
