RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

I don’t get how some people think Maiden won’t play Rime and/or Seventh Son. Since the reunion, they ALWAYS do at least one song that is over 8-10 minutes long if not 2 or 3 with the exception of the early days. We won’t get Alexander again so that only leaves the other 2. I’m 100 percent certain that we’ll get Rime for sure.

I'm certain "Rime" will be included and likely the centerpiece of the set.

"SSOASS" is one of their more difficult songs to perform and given how many bangers will likely be performed, I'm guessing it will be omitted. I hope I'm wrong because I love that song dearly.
 
I really can't see Be Quick or Be Dead making it in; Steve once compared it seemingly unfavourably to other Maiden tracks that have more melody in an old Kerrang article. The track has gotten no love or mention from the band since the Raising Hell show in August 1993, and when it appeared on the expanded version of Best of the Beast in 1996. Since then, not one mention.

Can't see it happening.

100%. Imo we'll get Rime and then some songs like Phantom, Powerslave and Hallowed that are 7 mins long or so.

Yep, I agree. They most likely will play Rime instead of SSOASS. Phantom is another little epic song, which I think must be essential part of the setlist celebrating their 50 years.

Me neither. I don't see 2025 Maiden playing that on a greatest hits tour. They have some other iconic openers and also some hits or early days songs that could be openers.
 
Weird to think, what song will star the show? Aces High most likely not (as it was so recently played on Legacy Of The Beast), it might be that Be Quick won't get featured at all. Phantom Of The Opera could provide nice starting point for the show.
