News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I really hope Nicko comes out and plays a few songs. It would be so cool.

Yes if nicko has to appear in a show could be there. But when happened that? Adrian in donington 92 and blaze joining them in 90 when he was with wolfsbane.

I dont expect guest appearence because maiden dont do that. I mean Blaze is playing in other scenario not even the main show so maybe nicko could appear there

The difference is, Nicko hasn't, by their own admission, entirely left Maiden. Nicko appearing with Maiden thus isn't the same thing as a guest apperance.

But we have seen so often, constantly over the past 40 years. I think it is much more exciting to see Maiden now with Simon.

Quite logical expectations. Maiden rarely miss Europe, and the festival format looks very likely. America is also almost guaranteed to be on the tour. If the announcement is in September, it fits into their usual strategy. We just have to wait for details and dates.

In no way does that mean that won't happen at this particular gig, because again, this is uncharted territory as the festival is an explicit celebration of Maiden. Nor does it mean it will happen, but "Nicko hasn't appeared before" isn't a definitive argument here.

I mean they dont usually bring guest to the show

No, but this is an unusual show though, and Nicko isn't really a guest. So we'll see - I'm not expecting him to play, but hoping and consider it the likely show for it to happen at, if it ever happens.

I think there are more chances to see one or two songs changed in the set than nicko playing with them but who knows

Monkey's paw: They'll play Running Free and Nicko will join them on bass, in a bizarre callback to Adrian joining the boys at Donington 92.

I think 2 guys played on stage with them blaze and adrian. Maybe in the early days and apart of the public on heaven can wait.
