Iron Maiden began the North American leg of their "Run For Your Lives" world tour on Saturday, 29 August, with a show at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. The tour, marking the British heavy metal band's 50th anniversary, sees them play stadiums and large amphitheatres across the US and Canada with an expanded production, drawing on material from their first nine albums.

The Toronto setlist was largely unchanged from the 2025 leg, but notably included "Infinite Dreams" from 1988's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", performed in Canada for the first time since that album's original tour. The North American dates were announced last October and will culminate in a headline slot at the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky on 17 September 2026. The shows come 45 years after Maiden's first North American tour in 1981, and the band has reiterated its request for fans to limit phone camera use during performances. This is the first North American run since drummer Nicko McBrain's departure, with Simon Dawson now behind the kit.
