Does no one have any inside information about what might be behind this, or even why the European shows originally planned for 2027 (I think) were instead moved to before the Rest of the World Tour of 2026?

Megadeth and AC/DC just announced big LATAM tours a few weeks ago, and the people spent an amount of their money on expensive tickets. The band and the organizers need some time to restore the demand and fans' savings to buy a lot of tix once again. I believe they will announce LATAM dates in 2026, most probably in February or March.

No shows were planned for 2027. They just saw how succesful the first leg was and decided to do a small comeback for the money in 2026.

There is nothing weird about the lack of announcements, it's not even december. Last time Brazil was announced in December and Argentina was announced in April.

It's just an opinion, and looking at the seating map, my point of view is reasonable, nothing more.

Then you don't know how the 2022 and the 2024 maps looked like.
They've sold more than 31k tickets, almost half of the capacity, in less than a month. How that could be a disappointement?

Why do you know that 100 %? A lot of fans believed there would be a third European leg in 2027. The sales would have been as good or better then.

No I think they have planned this for a while. The announcement said Run For Your Lives World Tour 25-26 from day one. I did think it was suspicious they announced it like that, and with 2027 off it makes sense.
 
The only doubt i have is if they are going to play in athens alexander the great. I didnt know that they skipped athens during FP tour. They said many times that they will play that song and when they play it they dont go to athens? I think will be the same setlist but...
 
It'll sadly be the same setlist again. Though it would be easier than ever to add the song for one night, with the new stage show. Would be awesome hearing it with Simon, but that's just not Maiden's style.

Sadly, yes. Not the biggest fan of Alexander here, but the fact they're sticking to the same old formula this time it's really beyond comprension.

Yes and no.
NJ is around 24k tickets per show, the first one is sold out but the 2nd hasn't sold anything (4k tickets at most, if you count the resale tickets).
LA is probably 20k each (less than the previous visit), but it's also the only show on the west coast.

Texas is a big market for Maiden, but definitely not their best, so 20/22k already sold for SA is nothing short of amazing.

LA sales have definitely been boosted being the only city in the West Coast, both shows are pretty much sold out, 40k sales is still impressive.

Now I'm wondering when they will announce the LATAM leg (for October) and the Rest of the World dates? If they don't announce something until the end of the first week of December, they will do that next year. Probably Iron Maiden will be a headliner of The Good Things Festival series in Australia. If so, the line-up will be revealed next August. The event has taken place in the first week of December since 2018. Honestly, I can't imagine the next arena tour in Oceania, just two years after the last one. IM as the headliner of festival(s) is more probable.

Not sure they will tour into December, if we presume LATAM is scheduled for the rest of October, where do they play to fill in all of November?

I am not sure they will do a typical 7 arena dates in Australia, perhaps 2-3 shows in smaller sized stadiums could be likely.

Generally, it's the stadium tour around the world. Smaller stadiums/outdoors are more likely, especially in Australia. Hope for 7 - 9 dates in Oceania and Asia with a break between the end of October and November. If so, they could book some shows even in the first week of December; if not, the final dates will be booked for the last week of November.
