Iron Maiden is set to return to Prague’s Letňany Airport on May 31, 2025, as part of their “Run for Your Lives” World Tour. The iconic British heavy metal band will celebrate an incredible milestone—50 years since their formation—with a performance that promises to be one of their most unforgettable yet. Fans can look forward to a special setlist featuring songs from nine of the band’s most legendary albums, from their self-titled debut Iron Maiden (1980) to Fear of the Dark (1992).
The tour will mark the band’s half-century in the music industry, having first been formed by bassist Steve Harris in 1975. To honor this milestone, the band promises a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for their loyal fanbase. The setlist will highlight hits from Iron Maiden through Fear of the Dark, and the show is expected to be their most spectacular to date.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson shared his excitement for the tour, saying, “Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN, and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience. This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us before, now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing!”
Manager Rod Smallwood added, “50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them! With over 100 million albums sold, nearly 2,500 shows in 64 countries, and countless millions of fans, every tour is a new challenge. For this tour, we are pulling out all the stops! We will cover classics and fan favorites from the first nine albums—many of which haven’t been played in years. This is going to be a huge couple of years for Iron Maiden and Eddie, and we can’t wait for our fans to see what we have in store.”
American rock band Halestorm will join Iron Maiden as special guests for the first half of the tour, adding even more excitement to what promises to be a historic event for heavy metal fans around the world. General ticket sales starts September 27, 2024, at 10:00 AM via Ticketmaster and Ticketportal.
