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.
 
Strong rumours about South American Tour covering countries as Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Mexico. Big stadiums and RiR headline show. According to Iron Maiden Brazilia probably more info should be published on 25th September 2025. European, North American dates will be revealed in October. There're some hints they could do Asia and Oceania leg in 2027.

Expected about the SA dates. 3rd leg again? What? Please no. 3rd leg with some minor changes (so unnecessary, but a fitting option for Asia and Oceania, option #2 too), 3rd leg with a debut of a new single (like they could have done in 2020?; release the new album in the fall in 2027 after the tour and tour it in 2028/2029 - can't see it, tbh), or a 3rd leg with Part 2 (the best option if they do it)? Actually, 3rd leg of any tour would be disappointing now. They most likely already know the plans for the next step in their career.
RiR would be our best bet for pro-shot footage right?
I guess so. And good, because idk if they'll release a concert video from the tour. I mean, I just can't understand Maiden now... where's the big excitement to say...
