Iron Maiden launched the 2026 leg of their Run For Your Lives world tour on Saturday night, May 23, with a powerful performance at Olympic Athletic Center of Athens.
While the majority of the setlist remained unchanged from the 2025 run of the tour, the Athens show featured one major surprise: the return of “Infinite Dreams,” taken from the band’s seventh studio album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. The performance marked the song’s first live appearance since 1988, when it was originally played during the band’s tour in support of the landmark record.
Before introducing the sixth song of Iron Maiden’s set, frontman Bruce Dickinson took a moment to address the crowd, saying: “We couldn’t think of a better place in Europe to start this tour… We know a few of you have seen some of this show before. We thought we’d just do a little bit of something different, just for this next song, 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’.”
