Founding bassist Steve Harris stated, “We are greatly looking forward to bringing this ‘Run for Your Lives Tour’ to North America and hope the fans enjoy seeing the show and hearing the set list as much as we do playing it,” with singer Bruce Dickinson adding, “We’ve got all the big ones from that early period including ‘Hallowed,’ ‘Run to the Hills,’ ‘Trooper,’ ‘Number of the Beast,’ ‘Killers,’ ‘Powerslave,’ ‘2 Minutes’ … and some of them we haven’t played in the US for over 20 years!”
