Iron Maiden keep their Run For Your Lives World Tour moving across three continents. The official tour page lists 41 dates, with Hannover as the only German stadium show and Yokohama closing the run on November 25, 2026.
Hannover leads the German run
The clearest local anchor for German readers is June 2, 2026, at Heinz von Heiden Arena in Hannover. Iron Maiden list Megadeth as support, and German ticketing coverage describes it as the band's only standalone stadium show in Germany this year. The official tour page also places the show inside a broader European sequence that begins in Athens on May 23 and runs through Bratislava, Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, Lyon and Lisbon before the North American leg.
That route matters because it shows how tightly the 2026 calendar is packed before the band even reaches North America. Iron Maiden move from Germany to festival stops in Sweden, Nurnberg, Nurburg, Nickelsdorf and Hradec Kralove, then on to arena and festival dates across France, Denmark, Norway, Spain and Portugal.
Spotify shows the scale
The current live footprint is backed by the band's streaming numbers. Kworb's Spotify tracker, updated on August 18, 2026, shows Iron Maiden at 5,706,393,793 total streams, with 4,670,234 daily streams across 392 tracks. That snapshot gives the tour a useful scale context: the catalog still draws more than 4.6 million plays a day while the band is on the road.
The most streamed song in that chart is The Trooper - 2015 Remaster at 635,805,367 plays, followed by Run to the Hills - 2015 Remaster at 486,809,949 and Fear of the Dark - 2015 Remaster at 451,022,121. Those three titles alone account for more than 1.5 billion streams, which underlines how the setlist-era classics keep feeding the current tour narrative.

Tour dates, setlists and catalog milestones around Iron Maiden stay in motion all summer and autumn.
The catalog behind the crowd
Iron Maiden's current live identity still rests on the early canon, but the streaming data shows how wide that catalog now reaches. The band's biggest songs on Spotify are almost entirely drawn from the 1980s and early 1990s, yet newer titles such as The Writing on the Wall and Senjutsu still post seven-figure daily relevance in the long tail.
That is the real editorial value of the 2026 route: it connects a stadium-scale touring machine to a catalog that keeps growing digitally long after the records first defined the band's identity. For a German audience, Hannover is the sharpest domestic marker, but the route also stretches through Toronto, Montreal, Harrison, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Sydney, Brisbane and Yokohama.
Where the band stands
Iron Maiden remain fully active on the Run For Your Lives World Tour, and the next confirmed live date on the official schedule is August 29, 2026, in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena.
