Iron Maiden and Megadeth are set to bring their 2026 tour to Minnesota on Saturday, September 19, with the heavy metal legends scheduled to perform at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee.

The concert is part of Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives World Tour, a major North American run celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary. The Shakopee show is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. at the new outdoor venue.

Iron Maiden Celebrates 50 Years With Classic-Era Setlist

Iron Maiden built the Run For Your Lives tour around material from the first nine studio albums of the band’s career, covering releases from Iron Maiden through Fear of the Dark.

The band has described the tour as a celebration of its 50th anniversary, with a large-scale production designed specifically for stadiums and major outdoor venues.

The setlist has already been put to the test during the North American leg. At the tour’s Toronto opening, Iron Maiden performed songs including “The Number of the Beast,” “Run to the Hills,” “The Trooper,” “Aces High” and “Fear of the Dark.”

That gives Minnesota fans a preview of the classic-heavy approach expected from the current tour.

Megadeth Joins Iron Maiden for the Shakopee Stop

Megadeth is serving as a special guest on the tour, adding another major name from the heavy metal world to the Minnesota concert.

Megadeth’s official website lists the September 19 performance at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee as part of its 2026 schedule.

The pairing also gives the show an additional hook for longtime metal fans, with two influential bands sharing the same outdoor stage on the same night.

A Major Show for Mystic Lake Amphitheater

The concert is also notable for the venue itself. Mystic Lake Amphitheater is a new large-scale outdoor concert venue in Shakopee, near Canterbury Park.

Iron Maiden was among the first major acts announced for the venue when its 2026 concert lineup was unveiled. Local coverage at the time identified the band as one of the first major concerts booked for the new 19,000-capacity venue.

The September 19 performance therefore combines a milestone year for Iron Maiden with one of Minnesota’s newest major concert venues.

What Fans Can Expect

Iron Maiden’s current production focuses heavily on songs from the band’s early catalog, with the group promising a large outdoor presentation built around its 50th anniversary.

The tour’s official announcement said the performances would feature songs from the first nine albums, including longtime fan favorites that have not been performed regularly in recent years.

Megadeth’s appearance adds another layer to the night, making the Shakopee date a particularly notable stop on the 2026 American tour schedule.
