00:00Running last week's announcement of Iron Maiden's European Festival and Stadium Tour for 2026,

00:11bringing their highly acclaimed, Run For Your Lives, world tour to even more countries in Europe,

00:16Kilimanjaro Live, in association with Phantom Music Management, have announced that Iron Maiden

00:21will return to the United Kingdom next year for an enormous outdoor headline performance at the

00:26legendary Nebworth Park. Featuring a hand-picked bill of special guests, this will not just be a

00:33concert but an Iron Maiden curated weekend event with the biggest Eddie's Dive Bar ever, various fun

00:38experiences currently being worked on, maiden-themed food and other stands, plus much more besides

00:43including their very own take on the historic Nebworth Fair. The specially invited supporting

00:48lineup is, the darkness, the who, airborne, the almighty. Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood

00:56comments, we knew that we had to bring the, Run For Your Lives show back to the UK again next summer

01:02as there was such a phenomenal demand for tickets this year but we wanted to do something a bit

01:06different especially as it would be hard to top the show at London Stadium. Well, we think that

01:13Nebworth is the solution, besides being a legendary venue for historic concerts over the years going

01:18right back to L.E.D. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, T.H.E. Rolling, Stones and Queen, it also gives us the

01:24outdoor space and control to create something very special for our fans. Of course, we also have

01:31history there too with our headline appearances at Sonosphere some years ago, who could forget that

01:36World War I centenary dog fight over the park's tree line with Bruce Fullgun's blazing in his own

01:41Fokker triplane. However, this time we will be taking over the whole of the grounds ourselves

01:47and turning it into as much of a Maiden world as we can for all our fans to enjoy.

01:53Our Eddie's dive bars have proved immensely popular on this current tour so our intention is to create

01:58our biggest one yet which will also be open on the Friday for the campers from the separate

02:02communal camping and glamping areas. For those lucky Friday night campers there will be a full

02:09program of Maiden-themed entertainment there that night, which we expect to include some live music,

02:14DJs, the aforementioned dive bar, along with other attractions and entertainment we are currently

02:19working on to make it the best warm-up for the big day.
