Iron Maiden is in the midst of their Run for Your Lives 50th anniversary tour. The mammoth trek, which launched last May, focuses on the band’s first nine albums, from 1980’s Iron Maiden through 1992’s Fear of the Dark. It’s the first tour to feature new drummer Simon Dawson, who replaced longtime drummer Nicko McBrain following his retirement from touring in December 2024.
