Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation
- Thread starter Poto
- Start date
One good support should be ok.

It's probably more profitable for them to sell 10k tickets less but not share their cachet with anyone else (not in big parts, at least)
If the situation doesn't change, they'll add something. They have some dates to announce in the near future: LATAM, AUST/ASIA.

They will have a support, but there is a difference between booking Megadeth and booking let's say Epica or Stratovarius
I guess they'll announce Anthrax for LATAM, maybe in the rest of the world too.

Look at the dates a little bit better mate, everything aligns except some festival dates and Amsterdam for Megadeth.

Belgium: Maiden in Antwerp, Megadeth at Graspop.
Italy: Maiden in Milan, Megadeth in Ferrara.
Netherlands: Megadeth is playing in Czech Republic on the same day.
Just because it's not the same exact day it doesn't mean they can play together. Be ready for disappointment once Trivium or someone like them gets announced.

Varying the setlist would help with that as well. One can dream…

Aces High aside, I would have loved to have seen the show again. I just can’t justify the cost of a ticket for Knebworth. It’s a shame, as it is down the road from me.I bet you cannot wait to hear how Aces High sounds live in 2026!
Swap that and Wasted Years with Sanctuary/Running Free, then clairvoyant with die with your boots onI bet you cannot wait to hear how Aces High sounds live in 2026!
I wonder if they’ll add another Harrison date even though the PA show is selling shit
This is just a speculation, nothing has been confirmed by the way
I hope we are right.
My prediction:
EU/UK: 22 shows
NAM: 15 shows
LATAM: 7 shows
AUSTR: 3 shows
ASIA: 3 shows
50 shows in 2026, 82 combined.
I think they'll play outdoors in Australia and big indoor arenas in Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore, mainly in November 2026. LATAM: Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador (maybe), Brazil (2 or 3 shows), Argentina, Chile - stadiums. An additional NJ show could be announced, and Hellfest should be the last addition to the European leg. Honestly, I can't understand why Iron Maiden didn't announce some West Coast gigs in NAM? Vancouver, Edmonton, Seattle, Denver, Vegas, and Atlanta seem to be the right places to attract people to amphitheaters and big arenas around, especially when Megadeth/Anthrax would be announced as special guests. I still hope they will announce 6 - 8 NAM dates to be booked for August. I understand now we have an AC/DC tour, but in January or February, Maiden would announce just a few dates. LATAM and Australasia should be announced next March, I guess.
If they play the aforementioned dates on the West Coast, the summery number of 2026 shows would increase to 57/8 and around 90 shows during the two years of the RFYL tour. Seems to be impressive. So, the dreamers will dream on and on...

And megadeth and anthrax will play on those gaps exactly where? Chances that all three bands have the same tour plans and not playing together on maiden headline shows are close to zero.
