Author Benedetta Baldin - 22.6.2026
For the upcoming “Run For Your Lives” tour concert video, Iron Maiden’s performance today at La Défense Arena in Paris, France, will be professionally shot and recorded, as per Blabbermouth. Yondr pouches, the lockable phone storage devices that have become the go-to option for phone-free performances in the live music industry, will be used by Maiden to impose a phone-free standing area for this unique gig.
The standing/General Admission area in La Défense Arena will be entirely phone-free to make sure the experience is optimal for the live recording of the Run For Your Lives Tour film.
Yondr pouches will be provided upon entry to the venue to store your mobile device during the show. Your device will be locked in the pouch on arrival and unlocked when you leave at the end of the night.
Please note:
There are areas within the arena where you will be able to access your phone for emergencies
You will need a physical payment card for the bars or merch stands
Your pouch will stay with you for the duration of the show – no one else will be handling your device
