Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Depend on the context of the tour, but I guess they will stick to stadiums. Just imagine how many back to back nights they would have to do now.

I know this might sound controversial, but I would prefer it if Maiden bowed out gracefully than played a handful of stadium shows each year. Plus the only way that they will continue to sell out stadiums (at least in the UK) is to tour off the back of a nostalgia theme. It would be great for them to explore more of their catalog again, not just the 80’s. I hope they get more creative on the next tour. For me, the Legacy of the Beast tour will always be the pinnacle of modern Maiden.

The Future Past Tour sold out the UK leg in seconds.

Let's face the fact that Maiden are going to be a stadium act from now on, which makes a lot of sense under every aspect: more money, less shows that needs to be played, better stage designs (I think they'll upgrade for good next time), more coverage.

They will surely add arenas and festivals but they won't go back to playing arenas in most of the European countries. Whatever the theme of the tour is, because the demand is there and now that every show might be their last people are not missing the chance to see them.

If that is the case, I will miss seeing them at the O2 Arena.

I would support Hannover, but I cannot disclose why. Therefore, you do not have to believe it and are free to ignore this post.

For CH/DE/AT I would guess Hannover, Munich, Köln (because there were shows in Zürich and Vienna this year).

I guess that's one of the few places where they will keep playing, every now and then. They might still do arenas tour, but that would just be their choice, not dictated by demand or whatever (although I don't think it's a really plausible option)
