Fans can expect a mix of timeless classics, Run to the Hills, The Number of the Beast, Aces High, and rare gems that showcase Maiden’s unmatched storytelling and stagecraft.
“We’ve always believed in giving fans the ultimate live experience,” said frontman Bruce Dickinson. “Bringing Megadeth and Anthrax with us feels like we’re not just touring, we’re celebrating the power and spirit of heavy metal together. It’s going to be monumental.”
Megadeth And Anthrax Join The Charge
Dave Mustaine, founder of Megadeth, shared his excitement:
“Iron Maiden helped define the metal world we live in today. To share the stage with them again, and with our brothers in Anthrax, is something truly special. Expect a show that’s fast, loud, and absolutely relentless.”
Thrash pioneers Anthrax, who are marking 45 years of fury, will open each night with an explosive set. Guitarist Scott Ian added, “Maiden, Megadeth, and Anthrax, that’s not just a concert, that’s a metal summit. Fans better bring their neck braces!”
