Iron Maiden - Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026

Iron Maiden at Groupama Stadium

We are proud to welcome Iron Maiden to Groupama Stadium for the thunderous arrival of the Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026. As Lyon’s largest live stage, our stadium is engineered for productions of this magnitude: a massive field-level pit for standing fans, panoramic tiered sightlines for those who want the full visual spectacle, and a rigging capacity built to handle towering set pieces, multi-level platforms, and panoramic LED walls. Our audio design supports high-powered touring arrays, ensuring the galloping bass, twin-guitar harmonies, and operatic vocals that define Iron Maiden carry cleanly from the front barrier to the top rows. With optimized load-in routes, pyrotechnic-ready infrastructure, and a guest experience team trained for stadium-scale metal shows, we are preparing every detail for a night where Lyon’s sky lights up to the roar of Maiden’s legacy. From early gates to the final echo of the encore, everything here is designed for energy, precision, and unforgettable views of Eddie in all his glory.

Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026

Iron Maiden’s artistic momentum remains undeniable. Their most recent studio chapter, Senjutsu, reaffirmed the band’s ambition with expansive epics and tight, riff-driven stormers; tracks like The Writing on the Wall, Stratego, Days of Future Past, and Hell On Earth have become modern fan favorites, standing tall alongside the classics on recent tours. The Future Past era reintroduced a new generation to their futurist stagecraft while reminding long-time fans how boldly the band innovates with every cycle. Beyond the main engine of the band, members continue to demonstrate creative vitality: Bruce Dickinson’s acclaimed solo project The Mandrake Project delivered striking singles such as Afterglow of Ragnarok and Rain on the Graves, while Adrian Smith’s collaboration with Smith/Kotzen yielded hook-rich cuts like Better Days and Taking My Chances, underscoring the musicianship flowing back into Iron Maiden’s arena command. For Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026, expect that same forward-motion spirit: a revitalized production philosophy, narrative visuals, and a set design that turns a stadium into a living, fire-lit saga.

At Groupama Stadium, we’re shaping the environment for maximum impact when Iron Maiden brings this new chapter to Lyon. While the band guards its surprises, fans can hope to hear a career-spanning set that balances era-defining anthems—The Trooper, Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, Fear of the Dark—with newer epics from Senjutsu, including The Writing on the Wall and Stratego. Our rigging points and open-bowl geometry are optimized for Maiden’s signature theatrics: soaring backdrops, kinetic lighting, precision lasers, and pyrotechnics that punctuate every chorus. Expect fast-access merchandise points across all concourses, expanded food and beverage options for high-demand show nights, and clear wayfinding so you can move swiftly between the pit, stands, and amenities. We will tune the sound system to the venue’s unique acoustics during extended line checks to deliver the clarity and punch that this music deserves. In 2026, Lyon will feel the full force of Iron Maiden’s storytelling and musicianship—amplified by our stadium’s scale, comfort, and commitment to world-class live production.
