Two weeks to go until a concert Milan has never seen before. On Wednesday 17 June 2026 Iron Maiden play the San Siro stadium for the first time. The press has described it as metal’s debut at the Milan stadium. It is the only Italian date of the Run For Your Lives World Tour, the tour celebrating fifty years of the band’s career. The band announced it on 18 September 2025. The 2026 leg of the tour kicked off in Athens on 23 May.

The show revisits the band’s first nine albums. It starts from the self-titled 1980 debut and runs through to Fear of the Dark from 1992. The band has also announced that, once this tour is over, it will take a break from concerts in 2027.

The guests were announced on 17 November 2025: Trivium, the US metal band who will play before Iron Maiden.
