Louder AAA
Iron Maiden dusted off a Seventh Son of a Seventh Son classic for their first show of 2026.
On May 23, the band kicked off their Run For Your Lives 2026 tour at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens in Athens, Greece and included 1988 track Infinite Dreams as part of the 17-song setlist.
The song, which was later released as a live single, has been absent from their concerts since they last played it at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on December 12, 1988.
"We couldn't think of a better place in Europe to start this tour," Bruce Dickinson told the Athens crowd (as transcribed by Blabbermouth.net). "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."
Here's the setlist in full:
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Wrathchild
Killers
Phantom of the Opera
The Number of the Beast
Infinite Dreams
Powerslave
2 Minutes to Midnight
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
