Iron Maiden have released a short new video documenting their recent show in Athens<\/p>\n

Heavy metal juggernauts Iron Maiden have posted a brief but tantalising glimpse at their recent show in Athens, Greece, which officially kicked off the latest leg of their epic Run For Your Lives world tour. The concert, which took place at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday night, May 23, saw Maiden dust off one of their most sought-after live rarities – Infinite Dreams, the fan-favourite cut from 1988’s Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son that hadn’t been played live for almost 40 years<\/p>\n

Clearly, Maiden are keenly aware of the significance of the track as it’s used to soundtrack the short clip they’ve posted to Youtube, which rails through some highlights from the show as well as some cheeky behind the scenes flashes.<\/p>\n

“What a place to start!” beams bassist and band founder Steve Harris. “First night and it’s gonna be great,” adds frontman Bruce Dickinson as he looks over the empty stadium ahead of the show. “It sounds great, everybody’s really happy and ready to rock, and it’s gonna be terrific. Here we go again!<\/p>\n

Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives 2026 tour runs through Europe, North, South and Central America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, with the heavy metal legends’ UK stop-off set to take place during a two-day event at Knebworth. Dubbed ‘Eddfest’, it’ll not only feature Iron Maiden’s retina-singeing current show, but a curated lineup, an on-site museum, an Eddie dive bar and much more.<\/p>\n\n
