British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN kicked off their second leg of the "Run For Your Lives" world tour Saturday night (May 23) at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens (OAKA) in Athens, Greece.
The concert marked a significant moment for fans as Iron Maiden added the classic track "Infinite Dreams" to their setlist after a nearly four-decade hiatus.
This rendition was part of a notable change from their previous tour leg's setlist.
In a special message to the audience before launching into the sixth song, singer Bruce Dickinson expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm for being in Athens, and highlighted the band's history with Greece.
"We know a few of you have seen some of this show before," Dickinson said.
"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." The inclusion of "Infinite Dreams" brings Iron Maiden one step closer to their iconic discography.
Iron Maiden supported their Athens show with American thrash metal pioneers ANTHRAX.
Iron Maiden will continue their tour across Europe and the United States in celebration of their 50th anniversary, marking significant milestones for fans worldwide.
ANTHRAX has been a vital part of many major rock festivals and events over the years.
The band's most recent world tour began in May 2025 with shows taking place on massive outdoor stages.
The show will be headlining America's rock festival Louder Than Life at the Highland Festival Grounds in Kentucky on September 17, 2026.
Since forming in 1975, Iron Maiden has released a plethora of iconic albums like "The Number Of The Beast", "Powerslave" and "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son".
The band's most recent album was their seventeenth studio album, "Senjutsu", which came out in 2021.
In December 2024, Iron Maiden played the final show of its "The Future Past Tour" at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, Brazil.
That run of concerts marked longtime drummer Nicko McBrain's last performance with the band before his departure and replacement by Simon Dawson."
