Iron Maiden Extend Run For Your Lives Tour With Filmed Paris Arena Show
29.06.2026 - 12:10:29 | ad-hoc-news.de
Iron Maiden are keeping their global touring momentum strong with the ongoing Run For Your Lives tour. The band have confirmed that their June 22 show at La DĂ©fense Arena in Paris will be professionally filmed for an upcoming concert release, according to a Billboard report.
Run For Your Lives tour route
The Run For Your Lives tour is built around arenas and stadiums across Europe and beyond, with Iron Maiden focusing on full-production shows rather than festival slots. The current leg includes major dates in France, Germany, Spain and Italy before the band heads to Latin America later in the year.
For U.S. fans, the most recent North American run under the Future Past banner wrapped in 2024, and no American dates for Run For Your Lives have been announced yet. The Paris filming therefore becomes a key document for fans stateside who want to experience the new production at scale.
What the Paris filming means
La DĂ©fense Arena in Paris is one of Europe's largest indoor venues, with a concert capacity around 40,000, giving Iron Maiden room for expanded staging, screens and pyro. Filming the June 22 show there suggests a focus on capturing the full visual design of the Run For Your Lives tour for a later live release.
The band have a history of turning filmed shows into definitive tour documents, from Live After Death in the 1980s to more recent releases like En Vivo! and The Book of Souls: Live Chapter. A Paris concert film would extend that lineage into their current late-career touring era.
