More importantly: Run For Your Lives is the 50th anniversary tour according to Bruce (said it at the end of Wasted Years in Baltimore).

It will only be if they do a Part 2 of it.

A part 2 only celebrating TXF-their newest album? I doubt it. No way Maiden has planned a tour 4 years in advance at this stage.

Who knows about their plans, but planning so much in advance is wild to think about. I guess they can add more legs to the tour despite the 2 years written in the poster, but I assume they would want a brand new tour with a new stage after that. They will never have problems with the sales, regardless of the theme. Part 2 seems logical and makes sense due to the very odd theme of the new tour (promoted as 50 years celebration), but I don't think they would do it without some of the classics. It's probably better for the setlist, but it's weird to celebrate 50 years with 2 different tours/halves of albums. Is it necessary? I guess nope, only for the deep cuts. It would be a surprising plan, but at the same time not atypical for Maiden.
New album tour is the most likely, but idk if Nicko is ready to record. The new album tour could be with more Reunion songs. Something like a hybrid tour again. And they can add one new song to the set if they want to.
If not all that, idk what the theme of the next tour would be. I mean, after the new tour, if they play some deep cuts from the 80's and a couple from the 90's, then they should revisit the Reunion era again, right.

Edit: there's one thing - if they use big screens as part of the stage set, they can easily do a Part 2 of the tour or continue it.

Focus on songs after ‘Fear of the Dark’, of course also some classics and a new song/maybe even new songs.

I don't understand why some people insist that such a concept wouldn't sell. Firstly and most importantly it's Iron Maiden and people want to see them and secondly it wouldn't be that different to the usual tours for their new albums, which have always been successful too.

Yes, I could just claim that I have a source in the band.
But I'm just saying: this is the only logical version where everything comes together and makes sense. You yourself realised how strange it would be otherwise when you posted about the anniversary only celebrating the first half of their career.

And regarding the risk: it's just as much of a risk to have already announced a tour with an end date of 2026 at this stage. If you take that into account, it doesn't seem so different and unthinkable to have an overall concept that goes beyond that.

My only modification to that would be if there is a Part 2 and if there is a new album coming (eventually), it'll be a hybrid tour like Future Past. TXF - Album 18.

I agree. We can't say anything yet, but I sincerely hope that the album is coming out.
It can't be all coincidence, too many things are evident. Looking forwards whatever it will be..
If they won't release any new albums anymore I think Senjutsu proved to be masterpiece, but still pretty sure that eventually there will be album #18.
Not yet ready to say goodbye to Maiden, but there will be day when this is all just memory attached to my lifetime with them.

What's the point of saying it's a tour featuring songs from after FOTD, but then still playing a few pre-FOTD songs in the set? Just call it a standard tour. That makes no sense.

Are you saying that? You're dancing around the subject.

Of course it's logical, but that doesn't mean they'll do that. I cannot in any way see Maiden announcing tour that states, "we won't play anything from the 80s". It's not going to happen. The Future Past Tour worked because it was a championing a classic 80s album and showing confidence in the newest album.

This was still my favorite setlist they ever put together. I really hope a live album comes out of it. That would be great.

99.999% chance there will be, unless they Donington 2007 it and store it away in a post-retirement release vault (if that's what they're doing with D2K7). Steve griping about how he wished they'd done a live album out of Somewhere on Tour, and the fact we've gotten a live album from almost every tour since Final Frontier.

I love the Download 07 footage from the 2020 broadcast. Excellent sound quality b the video is a bit dark and there are flags everywhere.

Take the current tour, just an example. The Future Past Tour is not a standard tour, it is a tour featuring songs from Senjutsu and Somewhere in Time. Still there are some popular classics like The Trooper in the setlist that have nothing to do with that main theme.
I don't see the problem or the lack of logic at all.

I am a professional dancer but not dancing around the subject. :D I am not claiming to have a source.

They won't announce that and they don't have to. No reason not to add some of the most beloved 80#s songs to the part 2 tour that this type of fan wants to hear.
Manager Rod Smallwood adds: ‘We'll also be covering some classics and timeless fan favourites of course...’

Yeah, second this. He wanted a live album for the original Somewhere on Tour, they (fucking finally) played Alexander the Great, they played Caught Somewhere in Time, they played Stranger in a Strange Land after 25 years (and on the whole tour for the first time since 1987), they have new songs from Senjutsu.
Best scenario would be a full show from the 2023/2024 leg + Senjutsu and Stratego from LOTB '22 as bonus tracks. Audio only, IDK.

Only question mark, is Nicko. His playing is good for a 72yo guy who suffered an ictus... but good enough for a live album?

I'd LOVE the LOTB '22 songs as bonus tracks. As for Nicko...I think so, especially if they've been recording multiple shows to take the best performances and piece it together for the live album. Hopefully they pull a bunch from 2024, since Bruce in particular has sounded fantastically strong this year.
