We can’t get everywhere but we can try!” The surprise announcement gives fans in several regions that were missed during the previous North American dates another opportunity to experience Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives production live. The tour celebrates Iron Maiden’s incredible history, with the setlist focusing heavily on material from the band’s first nine studio albums, spanning their formative years through 1992.
