Iron Maiden’s “Run For Your Lives” World Tour at Mystic Lake Amphitheater, in Shakopee, this Saturday, September 19, 2026.

We saw Iron Maiden in June 2017 and wrote, “After setting up the stage, Iron Maiden (bassist Steve Harris, guitarist Dave Murray, guitarist Adrian Smith, singer Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarist Janick Gers) took the stage to 14,000 fans screamed and stomped loudly at their idols on stage. Singer Bruce Dickinson had to addressed the crowd, “You know, the media still wondered how Iron Maiden can still sell out arenas… I’ll give you a reason, 14,000 reasons!” as he pointed to the audience. He went on to talk about the younger fans born after 1982, “Your mother was probably getting it on to this next song.” With that said, the band launched into their big hit song ‘Children of the Damned’. The theme of this “The Book of Souls Tour” was inspired by Maya culture, as seen by a war painted Eddie and the Mayan temple stage design. Of course, being an arena tour, there were occasional fireballs… whenever they went off, it was very impressive.”

Megadeth to open.
