Iron Maiden Is Hiring an Ambassador For Its Run For Your Lives Tour -- Here's How to Apply

Iron Maiden is currently in the thick of its Run For Your Lives Tour, with upcoming European leg stops in Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, and Lisbon, Portugal, and more.

2026 is a big year for the legendary English heavy metal band, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. There's the upcoming release of the Burning Ambitiondocumentary, chronicling its meteoric rise, and its partnership with Lagunitas Brewing Company to launch Trooper West Coast IPA -- a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Trooper Beer, the band's award-winning global beer lineup.

And when the band hits the states for its North American leg, 2026 will be a big year for one lucky Maidenhead -- they'll have the chance to become the iconic heavy metal band's ambassador.

How to Apply to Be an Iron Maiden Ambassador

Iron Maiden, in partnership with its Trooper IPA collaboration with Lagunitas, will launch BeerRoadie.com on Saturday, June 6, where diehard Troopers can enter a contest to land a paid gig to help bring Trooper IPA to life on the ground at Eddie's Dive Bar events -- Iron Maiden's pre-show bar takeovers; it's where fans gather to raise a glass or 12 and get properly warmed up before the concerts begin.

You can start preparing by practicing your pitch in a 30-second video, which you will need to be considered for the gig, which includes travel to the East and West Coasts.

Trooper West Coast IPA Coming Soon

Iron Maiden's collaboration with Lagunitas will drop on Saturday, June 6, and the 6.6% ABV brewski promises to offer a slightly elevated strength that strikes the perfect balance between intensity and drinkability, which should appeal to hop enthusiasts as well as the casual craft beer drinker.

According to Lagunitas, Trooper West Coast IPA is "brewed with Krush (one of the newest 'hot' hops)." The new Trooper iteration will be available at TotalWine, BevMo, Spouts, Publix, Trader Joe's (highest volume), regional chains, and independent retailers across the country.

It will also be available this summer at select bars and taprooms.
