IRON MAIDEN brought a rare deep cut to the stage at ROCK FOR PEOPLE in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, performing "Infinite Dreams" on June 14. Fan-filmed footage of the moment has since spread online.
The show was part of the 2026 leg of MAIDEN's "Run For Your Lives" world tour, which launched on May 23 at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens in Greece. While the setlist has largely carried over from the 2025 dates, the band added "Infinite Dreams" — a track from 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" — for the first time since 1988, when it last appeared during the original album tour.
Before the song, singer BRUCE DICKINSON teased the crowd: "We thought we'd just do a little bit of something different… because it's a song that we have not played for many, many years. No, it's not 'Alexander The Great'. But it will be when you go to bed tonight — your 'Infinite Dreams'."
The "Run For Your Lives" tour celebrates MAIDEN's 50th anniversary. Last October the band announced North American stadium and amphitheater dates, including a headline slot at the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky on September 17, 2026 — marking 45 years since MAIDEN first toured the U.S. and Canada on the 1981 "Killers" run. As on previous dates, the band has asked fans to "severely limit the use of their phone cameras out of respect for the band and their fellow fans."
The current trek is also notable for a change behind the kit: longtime drummer Nicko McBrain played his final show with MAIDEN in December 2024 in São Paulo, Brazil, and has since been replaced by Simon Dawson, STEVE HARRIS's rhythm-section partner of 14 years in BRITISH LION. Since forming in 1975, IRON MAIDEN has released enduring classics like "The Number Of The Beast", "Powerslave" and "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son"; their most recent album, "Senjutsu", arrived in 2021.
