“We are greatly looking forward to bringing this RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR to Mexico,” said Steve Harris in a statement, with Bruce Dickinson adding, “This whole tour has been such great fun. I really enjoy belting out all these great old songs! We’ve got all the big ones including Hallowed, Run To The Hills, Trooper and some real epics like ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’.”
Manager Rod Smallwood emphasized the significance of the venue, stating, “The scale and incredible visual aspects of this show deserve larger venues and when it comes to Mexico we just love playing in this magnificent 65,000 capacity stadium.”
The show will also feature the “Trooper VIP Experience,” offering fans meet and greets, hospitality, and exclusive merchandise.
Iron Maiden is requesting fans to keep their phones tucked away during the show to enhance the atmosphere for everyone.
