RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

RTTH, Running Free and Sanctuary were their "core" block for encore songs for quite a few tours in the 80s, so I wouldn't be surprised if in that spirit they'll play exactly those three songs but in reverse order as the encore. I feel like including both Running Free and Sanctuary is just excessive and RTTH as the last encore is a disaster waiting to happen, but they named the tour after it so of course they're gonna end the show with it too.

Drifter would be awesome.

Ιf this is the encore, they might actually play a 17-18 song setlist. Too many shorter songs. It could be the Clairvoyant instead of Evil, but that's almost the same or Hallowed instead of Evil, but then Clairvoyand or/and Evil will be played earlier.

Maybe its that what bruce hinted. A setlist with all classics and back to 18 songs. But i dont see them not playing rime of the ancient mariner.

They can always play a karaoke version of Run to the Hills with Bruce letting the audience sing the chorus…

I hope adrian has re-learned his solos. Enough of Janick doing whatever in die with your boots on / revelations.

There's the video of Hallowed from a few years ago where Janick's rhythm patch amp failed, so he went off stage to sort with his tech, and H ended up playing the solo. Jan's solo patch worked so he also played it anyway, but it was SO cool to see H play the Hallowed solo again.

It does make me wonder now though, as this set will be comprised of a large percentage of songs that were originally just Davey & Adrian, - I wonder if Jan will take more solos of Dennis' from any 1st album tracks they might play, even if H has done previously (during reunion era), so that we can finally hear H play some of his iconic mid-80s solos that Jan has being doing since reunion. Revelations, Hallowed, Heaven Can Wait ( I know possibly unlikely to hear after being on TFP tour) , Moonchild (I think H did the solo on M.E tour, but Jan did it on SBIT if I remember correctly?).. Maybe some others I can't think of?

I hope we hear as many Adrian solos as possible.

That was Chicago 2016.

Revelations was alternating between H and Jan during LOTB. Janick will likely play Phantom solo again. HCW won't be done on this tour and I think that solo will remain with Jan. What would be great is if they alternated the Hallowed solo this year, like they did with Revelations on LOTB.
 
Some tour t shirts will be available to order from the official store very soon.

And I wonder if they will do like in 2023, and hold back a design until the second show to avoid spoilers.

Maybe once again a Dan Mumford design? Mariner/Phantom could be really cool. I think Phantom of the Opera could be a great theme for Mumford to work with.

Apologies for not staying on topic, but the actual talk about switching solos between H and Jan got me thinking.
I've never had a problem with Janick, as he's been an integral part of the band's songwriting — especially during the reunion era.
Anyway, during the 1999 tour, when Adrian was absent for three shows due to his father's death, I found it interesting to hear how Janick handled some of Adrian’s solos.
I think he managed to play Powerslave pretty well, and even managed to preserve the essential parts and sections of the solo. In my opinion, he did a great job.
