Story

How it started

Run to the Beast are five Iron Maiden fans from Ireland brought together to do one thing. Play Iron Maiden's music live and loud.

Starting out in Dublin city centre, the band quickly took the show around the country, with sold out gigs in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Limerick.

2025 was a huge year for RTTB. The band were chosen to perform at Eddie's Official Dive Bar, Iron Maiden's official fan event in Dublin, playing both the night before and the day of Maiden's show. Later that year, RTTB brought their 50 Years of Iron Maiden show to the legendary Cart & Horses in London, the birthplace of Iron Maiden.

2026 saw the band continue to grow, with more sold out shows around the country before taking on the iconic Live After Death set at Dublin's Button Factory, their biggest production to date, complete with full stage and visual production.

With plenty more still to come, at the heart of it all we're still just five lads who fucking love playing Iron Maiden.
