The
legendary British heavy metal band Iron
Maiden has officially confirmed a concert
at 6:30 p.m. at the
National Stadium in San José on
Oct. 8, 2026, as part of its “Run For Your
Lives World Tour 2026,” a tour celebrating
the band’s 50 years of musical history.
Iron
Maiden is an English heavy metal band
formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by
bassist and primary songwriter Steve
Harris.
The
current lineup features six musicians with
decades of experience: Steve Harris, bass,
backing vocals and founder; Dave Murray, lead
guitar; Adrian Smith, lead
guitar and backing vocals; Bruce Dickinson, lead
vocals; Janick Gers, guitar
and Nicko McBrain, drums.
According to a statement from the band, fans can expect a special setlist spanning nine studio albums, including many songs that were first performed live in the 1980s.
The
“Run For Your Lives” setlist draws heavily
from
songs that
Iron Maiden fans have been
singing
along to for decades.
“The Number of the Beast,” “Run to the
Hills,” “The Trooper,” “Hallowed Be Thy
Name,” “Aces High,” “Fear of the Dark” and
“Wasted Years” are all part of the show.
Tickets
for the Costa Rica concert are available
through the
Eticket website.
Iron
Maiden has performed three concerts in Costa
Rica and has one more scheduled for October,
bringing the band’s total number of visits
to the country to four.
The band’s first concert in Costa Rica took place in February 2008 at Ricardo Saprissa Stadium, marking Iron Maiden’s first concert in the country and in Central America.
Iron
Maiden’s third concert
in Costa Rica took
place in March 2016 at Ricardo Saprissa
Stadium during “The Book of Souls World
Tour.”
Iron
Maiden joins a growing list of major
international artists performing in Costa
Rica. British
singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran performed
in Costa Rica in May as part of his
“Loop Tour.”
