Iron Maiden will embark on their 50th anniversary Run for Your Lives Tour later this year. The tour will see them performing songs from their first nine albums. They’ll pull tracks from everything between their 1980 self-titled debut through their 1992 album Fear of the Dark. While Bruce Dickinson is no stranger to performing songs from the Paul Di’Anno-era albums, there’s one song fans won’t hear him sing during the outing.
During an interview with Classic Rock, Dickinson revealed that Iron Maiden should never play the ballad “Remember Tomorrow” live again. Penned by Di’Anno and Steve Harris, it is one of the few ballads in the band’s deep catalog. At the same time, it was a personal song for Di’Anno, who had his late grandfather, a fighter pilot, in mind when he wrote the lyrics. “If ever Paul owned a song, it’s the one,” Dickinson said. “I can sing it, and have done. But I think we should leave it with Paul now,” he added.

Bruce Dickinson Promises a “Setlist for the Ages” on Iron Maiden’s Next Tour
While fans won’t hear the band play “Remember Tomorrow” on the Run for Your Lives Tour, they’ll get plenty of classic Iron Maiden. Earlier this year, Bruce Dickinson gave fans an idea of what to expect from the forthcoming outing.
“We are really pushing the boat out with this tour,” he said. “It’s gonna be really, really cool. I’m looking forward to it. We’re going to be doing stuff we’ve never, ever done before, and it’ll be a setlist for the ages,’ he added. “This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level.”
Iron Maiden will kick off their Run for Your Lives Tour on May 27 and the band’s website currently displays European dates stretching from May until August, most of which are sold out. However, Dickinson noted that the tour will continue in 2026 as they couldn’t fit all the shows they wanted to play into one year.
