News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[gazda]

I don't know. How can he confirm it if it is not settled? And there must have been more than just a few details missing or it could have been fixed. Maybe it never was true.

He said it in the interview for the next season of the events for Pula Arena. Guy just came on that postion so I belive he wanted to impress public by announcing bands before he sign a contract with band and during final negotiation something went wrong.

This is not a rumor. It is an official announcement on www.ironmaiden.com.
We have to accept it, even if we don't like it.

Second show added in New Jersey - Iron Maiden

September 06 at the Sports Illustrated Stadium

Odd that they didn’t put it on their social media posts as well.

I think it's a big mistake to limit yourself to just social media. The best place to get information about this is, and always will be, the official website.

 

[Prowler666]

It doesn’t actually say on their Facebook or Instagram announcements that there are no more USA dates. Don’t know where this rumour is coming from.

In their official website it is mentioned.

So the tour will start in Athens for real. Weird

Their biggest tour to start with a big stadium show and great a crowd. Why not. Another surprise from them.

With Hellfest confirmed "There will be no further shows added to the European leg of the Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026"

The line-up is: Wings Of Steel-Queensryche-Accept-Helloween-Maiden!

By the way, Helloween is directly below Maiden in the Hellfest announcement.
They have no other shows planned in Europe this summer and surely not enough demand to pull off another arena tour. Could be that they're joining Maiden for some shows? Then it would make sense for them to wait until the last EU show (november 22nd).

Helloween as a support for some shows? Not sure. They are on their anniv tour and surely there is demand for them now.

Rehearsals in split croatia again? And then to athens?

Rehearsals with the same set...

I bet you cannot wait to hear how Aces High sounds live in 2026!

Unless he can hear it in the distance over the garden fence it doesn`t matter how it sounds to him or anyone else who isn`t attending a Maiden gig next year does it.

You should never underestimate the power of Bruce's voice!!!

I mean, he is an air raid siren.

He means the "no further dates will be added" line which only shows on the website, not on their social media pages.

I would be surprised if their support for Europe wasn't a completely unspectacular band.

Maiden going all out with the openers this year if that is the case. I think Anthrax will open for them in LATAM and maybe some European shows.

Again, just check the dates again, don't spread nonsense.

 

[jmutil]

All European/North American dates confirmed

What nonsense? As far as I can see the only 2 shows they're playing in June are the same festivals where Maiden is headlining.

Maiden and helloween? I dont see them in other place than festivals. When they toured together they played like 8 songs. At the moment they dont need to do that

Helloween have a headline show in Greece in July. So they can't be in Greece.
Some time ago there was a rumour about anthrax supporting in Greece. No idea though if there's any shread of truth in that.

Athens is too much of a big stadium, they would never sell out the place, but they're already in a better position than the final turnout for 2022. It would make very little sense to invest on such a big support knowing you can't fill the place up anyway.

Not saying it will happen, but given that some shows (Milan, Sofia, Lisbon, Bucharest) need a big boost and the availability of the band, it's a possibility, although small.

Iron Maiden (and other bands) signed a letter asking the UK government to limit the prices of concert tickets that are resold on the secondary market.

Radiohead, Iron Maiden & more sign open letter calling for cap on resale ticket prices
