Iron Maiden is celebrating their 50th anniversary with the Run For Your Lives world tour, showcasing a powerful setlist focusing on their most acclaimed albums from 1980 to 1992. The tour features a mix of fan-favorite anthems and deep cuts, with performances marked by Bruce Dickinson's energetic vocals and the band's signature guitar and bass work, maintaining their high-energy stage presence despite five decades of performing. Notably, the tour pays homage to the band's early years with several songs from the Paul Di’Anno era, while also featuring epic tracks like 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' from their 1984 album 'Powerslave.'
