In a video message, British heavy metal icons Iron Maiden thanked their fans for attending the spring/summer 2025 European leg of their “Run For Your Lives” world tour. The journey began on May 27 in Budapest, Hungary, and ended on August 2 in Warsaw, Poland. It was Maiden‘s first tour with new drummer Simon Dawson, who took Nicko McBrain’s position in December.

What can I say? It’s been an incredible tour. Obviously, my first tour with Maiden. I mean, I can’t say how much I appreciate the support I’ve had from the fans. You’ve been absolutely incredible to me. I couldn’t wish for more. Iron Maiden
