"Hannover will host Iron Maiden in 2026, marking a sole performance by the heavy metal band"
Iron Maiden, the legendary British heavy metal band, is gearing up for their world tour in 2026, marking their 50th anniversary with the 'Run For Your Lives' tour. Kicking off in Athens, Greece on May 23rd, 2026, the tour has already made headlines with a packed show in Gelsenkirchen's Arena, Germany. Band founder and leader Steve Harris expressed his excitement, praising the fans, the setlist, and the incredible demand for tickets.
The tour will continue through Europe, with upcoming shows in countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Italy, France, and Portugal. Notably, Simon Dawson has joined Iron Maiden as their live drummer, replacing Nicko McBrain due to health issues. Dawson, formerly with British Lion, is praised for maintaining the band's live tempo without mimicking McBrain's unique style.
Iron Maiden will perform in Hannover, Germany at the Heinz von Heiden Arena on June 2nd, 2026, their only stadium show in Germany for the year. Despite a tour break in 2027, the 'Run For Your Lives' tour has been a massive success, selling out almost everywhere and attracting over a million fans. This anniversary tour is a testament to Iron Maiden's enduring popularity and their commitment to delivering high-energy, unforgettable performances. Fans worldwide can look forward to more shows as the tour continues to make its mark on the world market.
