15-06-2026

Iron Maiden are about to land at the San Siro stadium in Milan. On June 17th the British band will headline the sole Italian date of the tour celebrating their fifty-year career, a show already destined to go down in history, as it will mark the first-ever appearance by a heavy metal act on the Milanese venue's stage. Trivium will open the evening.

Iron Maiden kicked off the tour in late May at the Athens Olympic Stadium, surprising fans by bringing back a song that had been absent from their setlists for a full 38 years. "On this new leg we'll be playing metal festivals and a few stadiums. Among them, San Siro, home of Milan and Inter, where we'll be – so I've been told – the first-ever metal band to play on that stage. It's always great to explore new territory, even after all these years," said manager Rod Smallwood. Bassist and founding member Steve Harris also stressed the significance of this new run of shows: "We thought we'd do some more shows in Europe before heading off to other parts of the world later in the year. Simon Dawson will of course be back behind the drums with us, and both he and the whole band want to thank the fans for the fantastic reception they gave us during the first leg."

Iron Maiden officially kicked off the "Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026" on Saturday, May 23rd in Athens, launching the new leg of the tour celebrating their fifty-year career. After the hints dropped by Bruce Dickinson in the preceding weeks, the band did indeed dig deep into their back catalogue, putting together a setlist heavily skewed towards the Eighties and even including songs absent from live shows for decades.
Based on the setlist performed in Athens, here's the likely running order for Iron Maiden's Milan concert (San Siro Stadium):

  • Murders in the Rue Morgue
  • Wrathchild
  • Killers
  • Phantom of the Opera
  • The Number of the Beast
  • Infinite Dreams (first performance since 1988)
  • Powerslave
  • 2 Minutes to Midnight
  • Rime of the Ancient Mariner
  • Run to the Hills
  • Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
  • The Trooper
  • Hallowed Be Thy Name
  • Iron Maiden
