The legendary British heavy metal pioneers Iron Maiden will be on a massive European tour in the spring and the summer of 2026. It is the second part of the “Run For Your Lives” tour. After the success of the band’s 50th anniversary tour the previous year, they decided to repeat it in more countries and cities. The initial dates are announced, and later more concerts will be added. The tour schedule will be so intense that in 2027 there will be no more concert dates, and the musicians will take a break from the road.

The tickets for the concert in Sofia, Bulgaria, are available online. The organizers are LIVE NATION & FEST TEAM. It will be held on May 26th at “Vasil Levski” Stadium. Iron Maiden will play their most iconic songs, and the show is expected to be one of the most spectacular and impressive shows in the band’s history.

The founding bassist Steve Harris has said for the press: “We are all loving this ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour. The fans have been amazing, the set list is perfect for the 50th anniversary, the show is arguably our best ever and ticket demand was incredible with pretty much everywhere sold out and over a million fans attending. So we all thought we should play some more shows in Europe before heading out to other parts of the world later in the year.

“Of course Simon Dawson will be joining us once again on the drummer’s stool, and both he and the whole band would like to thank our fans for the terrific reception you have given him on the first leg.

“We’ve always enjoyed playing festivals, especially as we get to play to people who aren’t just there for us, and we love that challenge! So we decided to revisit as many great metal festivals as we could get to in this period. Plus we will also get to play stadiums in Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria where we didn’t get to this year and have always loved playing to the passionate fans out there.”
