Iron Maiden announce massive UK show

IRON MAIDEN have announced a huge UK show for 2026!

Following the recent announcement of their European festival and stadium tour, the legendary heavy metal icons will bring their acclaimed Run For Your Lives World Tour to the UK for an enormous outdoor headline performance at Knebworth Park on Saturday, July 11th next year. This will be a curated weekend event, featuring a hand-picked bill of special guests and a host of unique IRON MAIDEN experiences.

The specially invited supporting line-up includes THE DARKNESS, THE HU, AIRBOURNE, and THE ALMIGHTY. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.

Speaking about the event, Manager Rod Smallwood comments, “we knew that we had to bring the Run For Your Lives show back to the UK again next summer as there was such a phenomenal demand for tickets this year but we wanted to do something a bit different especially as it would be hard to top the show at London Stadium!

Well, we think that Knebworth is the solution – besides being a legendary venue for historic concerts over the years going right back to LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, the STONES and QUEEN – it also gives us the outdoor space and control to create something very special for our fans! However, this time we will be taking over the whole of the grounds ourselves and turning it into as much of a Maiden World as we can for all our fans to enjoy!

Our Eddie’s Dive Bars have proved immensely popular on this current tour so our intention is to create our biggest one yet which will also be open on the Friday for the campers from the separate communal camping & glamping areas. For those lucky Friday night campers there will be a full programme of MAIDEN-themed entertainment there that night, which we expect to include some live music, DJs, the aforementioned dive bar, along with other attractions and entertainment we are currently working on to make it the best warm up for the big day!

So we hope you will join us next year as we continue to celebrate five decades of IRON MAIDEN. It’s going to be one for the history books…in a really historic venue!”

The event will feature:

• The biggest Eddie’s Dive Bar ever
• Maiden-themed food and drink
• Exclusive attractions and entertainment
• A full Maiden-curated experience across the grounds
