Louisville, KY – Metalheads rejoice! Legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has been announced as the second headliner for the 2026 Louder Than Life festival, set to rock Louisville’s Expo Center on September 17th. The band, a cornerstone of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene since the 1970s, will be bringing their highly anticipated “Run For Your Lives” tour to North America, kicking off their appearance as Thursday’s headliner.

“We are greatly looking forward to bringing this Run For Your Lives Tour to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it,” the band stated on their website.

Louder Than Life organizers promise a show packed with both classic hits and deep cuts, forged in the fires of the NWOBHM. Fans can expect a setlist brimming with iconic tracks they know and love.

Iron Maiden joins previously announced headliner My Chemical Romance for what is shaping up to be an unforgettable festival. Early bird pre-sale sign-ups are already underway, so fans are encouraged to register quickly to secure their spot.
