Tickets for Iron Maiden’s concert on May 28, 2026, at Bucharest’s National Arena are now available to the general public on IronMaiden.Emagic.ro, Tickets.Emagic.ro, and iaBilet.ro.

The presale tickets, reserved for fan club members and Emagic/iaBilet customers, sold out extremely quickly — a clear sign of the huge anticipation surrounding the band’s return to Bucharest.

Prices range from 263 to 765 lei, depending on the seating area. A ticket for the standing section (field) costs 544 lei.

Iron Maiden continues their anniversary tour, Run For Your Lives, celebrating 50 years of the band’s career with a setlist highlighting defining moments in their history and the most spectacular stage production to date.

The group has announced the first dates of what will be a packed 2026 tour schedule, starting with a summer return to Europe. The band will headline major rock festivals and play stadium shows in countries and regions not included in their 2025 itinerary. Afterwards, the tour will continue into other parts of the world, to be announced soon.

The first European dates of the tour are listed below, with more festival appearances to be posted shortly on ironmaiden.com and through local promoters. Following this run of shows, IRON MAIDEN will not be performing in 2027.

Band founder and bassist Steve Harris says:

“We’re absolutely loving this Run For Your Lives tour. The fans have been incredible, the setlist is perfect for the 50th anniversary, and the show is probably the best we’ve ever done. The demand for tickets has been massive — almost all the shows sold out, with over a million fans attending. So we decided to add more concerts in Europe before heading to other parts of the world later in the year. Of course, Simon Dawson will be back on drums, and he, along with the whole band, wants to thank the fans for such an amazing welcome on the first leg of the tour.”

Manager Rod Smallwood added:

“We were overwhelmed by the positive reaction from fans and media to the first leg of Run For Your Lives. We knew we had created a special show, but the energy from the fans at every concert was felt by the whole band. I think we all experienced something memorable — maybe even our best tour yet.”

For the Bucharest show, general admission standing tickets (field area) are available, as well as seated tickets in the three stadium tiers. More details are available at tickets.emagic.ro.
