Iron Maiden is coming to Brazil in October with the Run For Your Lives Tour. The band will perform at Allianz Parque on October 25th and 27th, with Alter Bridge – tickets are on sale at the Livepass website.
The tour celebrates five decades of career for one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history and takes a complete journey through the group's entire "golden era." It also highlights the presence of Simon Dawson as the tour's drummer after Nicko McBrain decided to retire from the stage in 2024.
In 2025, the sextet performed 35 shows across Europe – including the historic performance at London's Olympic Stadium, where West Ham's favorite team Steve Harris, plays its home games.
This year, the tour enters its final stretch with new performances across the Old Continent. In addition to dates in North and South America, Oceania and Asia, in July the group will also hold its own festival at the legendary Knebworth Park in England.
Wikimetal has compiled a list of 3 reasons why you can't miss the shows in October.
State-of-the-art stage production
For the first time in their career, Iron Maiden abandoned their traditional stage curtains and began using video screens in their performances. The change caused mixed reactions among fans, but it brought a new dynamism to the shows.
With next-generation production, Iron Maiden has elevated the visual immersion of her performances to an even higher level than before. The use of technology has given the epic narratives of each track modern animations, creating scenarios that transform instantly.
An opportunity to check out classics, B-sides and great epics from Iron Maiden
The 17-song setlist covers songs from throughout the band's 80s and early 90s era. Classics like "The Number of the Beast," "2 Minutes to Midnight," "Powerslave," "Run to the Hills," "Aces High," "Fear of the Dark," "The Trooper," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," and "Wasted Years" are guaranteed to be included.
The main novelty, without a doubt, lies in the inclusion of songs that haven't been played for a long time, such as "Murders in the Rue Morgue," "Killers," and "The Clairvoyant." For longtime fans, it will also be an opportunity to hear the epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son," and "Phantom of the Opera.".
Last chance to see the band until 2028
The tour concludes in November with shows on the 24th and 25th in Yokohama, Japan. This is the last opportunity to see Iron Maiden live for a while, as the band will then go on hiatus, expected to last until 2028.
"These will be the final shows of a two-year tour and the last chance for fans worldwide to witness the state-of-the-art production that accompanies the unique repertoire, featuring songs from the band's first nine albums," the group announced.
