The legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has confirmed its return to Colombia as part of its new global tour, Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026, a concert series that will celebrate five decades of musical history. The highly anticipated show will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at the Vive Claro Distrito Cultural in Bogotá, marking the band’s fifth visit to the country and one of the most special for its fans.
The performance in the Colombian capital is part of an ambitious international tour that will travel across Europe, North America, and Latin America. In addition to commemorating the 50th anniversary of the band led by Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris, the tour also carries special significance because the group announced it will take an indefinite break from live performances in 2027. As a result, many fans believe this could be the last opportunity to see Iron Maiden perform live in Colombia.
