Dead Pony have revealed a set of headline shows taking place just before Summer kicks in, and they are set to be rowdy affairs.
The band have shared the headline tour details, hot on the heels of the release of their latest single ‘Eat My Dust!‘, a rampant, rallying piece of riff-heavy chaos. And based on the size of the rooms that the band are going to be playing, it’s a track that is going to incite absolute mayhem.
The band feels absolutely the same, as they explain, “Can’t wait to get back out on the road for our “Eat My Dust!” Headline tour. The reaction to the single has blown us away and it feels like the rooms are going to erupt when we play the new tracks. We have been busy in the studio building a really unique and special new live show, the fans are going to love it.”

Event Details
With fans guessing over the weekend that Knebworth House was to be the location for the mystery Iron Maiden show on 11 July 2026, hotels were snapped up, and the rumours have now proved to be correct. Following in the footsteps of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Queen, Iron Maiden will join the historic roster that have played what Knebworth House custodian Henry Lytton Cobbold describes as The Greatest Rock Venue In The World.
“We knew that we had to bring the Run For Your Lives show back to the UK again next summer as there was such a phenomenal demand for tickets this year,” Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood said. “But we wanted to do something a bit different, especially as it would be hard to top the show at London Stadium.”
