IRON MAIDEN will bring the RUN FOR YOUR LIVES tour to Bucharest’s National Arena on May 28, 2026. General on-sale tickets will be available starting September 27 at 11:00 AM, via ironmaiden.emagic.ro and iaBilet.ro.

Iron Maiden continues their anniversary Run For Your Lives tour, celebrating 50 years of the band’s career, with a setlist that revisits defining moments from their history and the most spectacular show they have ever staged.

The band has announced the first dates of a packed 2026 schedule, which will kick off in the summer with a return to Europe. They will headline major rock festivals and perform stadium shows in countries and regions not included in the 2025 itinerary. The tour will later continue into other parts of the world, to be announced soon.

Bassist and founding member Steve Harris stated:

“We’re absolutely thrilled with this RUN FOR YOUR LIVES tour. The fans have been incredible, the setlist is perfect for the 50th anniversary, the show is probably the best we’ve ever put together, and ticket demand has been massive – with almost all shows sold out and over a million fans attending. So we decided to add more concerts in Europe before moving on to other parts of the world later in the year. Of course, Simon Dawson will be joining us again on drums, and he and the whole band thank the fans for the amazing reception during the first leg of the tour.”

Band manager Rod Smallwood added:

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reaction from fans and media to the first leg of the Run For Your Lives tour. We knew we had created a special show, but the energy from the fans at every concert really fueled the band, and I think we all felt we were part of something memorable – maybe even our best tour ever.”

Tickets will go on sale Saturday, September 27, at 11:00 AM. Pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members starts on September 23 at 11:00 AM, while Emagic and iaBilet customers will have access to an exclusive pre-sale starting September 24 at 11:00 AM, based on a code sent via email.
