On June 22, 2026, the Paris La Défense Arena will light up for Iron Maiden, who return to Paris with a new leg of their Run for Your Lives world tour. For the British band, formed in London in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, it will be a grand return to the French capital, before tens of thousands of fans expected for one of the most impressive events of the European rock season. Iron Maiden are more than just a band: they are a legend of contemporary music culture. They have defined the language of heavy metal with a unique blend of power and theatricality, transforming every concert into an epic spectacle. Their songs, from The Number of the Beast to Run to the Hills, from Fear of the Dark to Aces High, have become anthems for generations of listeners. Bruce Dickinson's voice, Nicko McBrain's precision on drums, and the intertwining guitars of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers continue to embody the combination of energy and virtuosity that made them inimitable. Half a century after their founding, the band maintains a stage presence that few can match. Their shows are constructed like a collective ritual: lights, flames, monumental screens, and the unmistakable presence of Eddie, Iron Maiden's mascot since the beginning, shape a recognizable and coherent visual universe.
