Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Really? That's a bummer. I saw them in Argentina 9 times already and the tickets were always cheap (if we compare them with other big international acts). We'll see if this time they keep it like that...

This isn't just Maiden though. It's most live music esp at the level of places that Maiden play

Amazing crowds in Argentina! One day I'll go!
 
Huh, they’re swimming in money (deservedly so). No wonder all they want to do is tour constantly—it’s enormous fun and financially rewarding, whereas creating a new album is a pain with no immediate gain.

I guess the band gets at least half of the 150.9M? (I’m just curious how much of the total revenue actually goes to the band.)

Who knows? I think 30% of total revenue is more reliable.

Too many, I think they will book 3 or 4 cities in Brazil.

According to the FC there was a source they are planning 3 shows at Sao Paulo just like they did last time

If you look at the confirmed dates via leaks its plausible with the gap in schedule

10/18 Lima, Peru

10/21 Sao Paulo, Brazil

10/27 Beunos Aires, Argentina

10/31 Santiago, Chile

I contributed with my money to that: I went to two shows of act #2 and one show of act #3.

Act #6 will be lucky to see me twice in 2026!

I can't believe in three shows at Morumbi Stadium (70k). Ac/Dc did 3 shows, but they haven't played Brazil for decades!
 
Confirmed: the announcement is going to be tomorrow morning. Also, there are some social media pages (that promote concerts) that are stating that this will be the "last tour in Latin America and possibly their last tour ever because the band is going to break up after this" (???) Pffffffft, yeeeah... right. I don't know why they are saying that bullcrap, probably to sell more tickets :rolleyes:

Edit: I wanted to add that I don't know why every damn time the band goes on tour there are a bunch of outlets/people saying "this will be the last time". I've been hearing that since at least the Dance of Death days. The only one that knows when they'll stop is Harris, and he already said there are no signs of slowing down...

Good PR! :) I think "tomorrow morning" in LATAM, in Europe, we'll see the announcement in the afternoon.
 
If they intend to scale down their overall touring… sticking mostly to Europe… it may be true about Latin America. It may also be that they genuinely don’t know whether they’ll still exist as a band after this tour—hence the wording “possibly their last tour ever.” Of course, it could be a blatant trick to boost ticket sales, but given their age and the general uncertainty of the situation (black swan events are becoming increasingly possible at this stage of their career), that kind of PR wording may actually be quite honest and level-headed.

I 100% think this will be their last ever world tour, whatever happens in 2028 if they continue on I can see it just being small scale tours like the Rolling Stones do it, and mostly Europe.

In 2024 Iron Maiden played twice in São Paulo to sold-out crowds. Maybe they'll announce two Morumbi nights, but three seem too many.

Yeah I think they will likely book 2 though. River Plate Stadium in Argentina will be a massive show for them, have they ever played there?

Yeah, back in 2013. I was there and that place was too big for them, I don't think they'll ever play there again. They usually play at the Velez Sarsfield Stadium. Last time they also added a smaller place, an arena, and it was really cool.
