News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

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.

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.
 
Knebworth, Running Free at the end, Nicko and Dennis both on stage, Simon on camcorder like Janick in '92.

Althoooough, they said that Paris would be filmed. So mayhap McBrain will do a tune then. The whole encore? Or out for Running Free at the end?

I think the latter is a more viable option. Have Simon do the full set proper cos he's the drummer and bring out our Henry out for a touch of pizzazz at the end.

It would certainly make Eddfest a little extra special and add a touch of something something to the live release.

Probably won't happen but sure what's a little speculation for the nation?
 
I'm sure Nicko will be at Knebworth. I don't know about Paris, but he can't miss the first EddFest. I don't know if he'll play a song or two, but he'll definitely be there. If he does play, I think it will be a second encore or something, but not Running Free. It should be a song he originally recorded with the band imo. I'd say the Trooper, but I kinda don't want it to be the Trooper.

He could play with titanium tart but would be very amateur
 
Blaze? Now the Knebworth show is good enough. Couldn't they announce that sooner? Now I have to change all my plans. Mist.

I am sceptical about a guest appearance of Nicko. It seemed so likely that he would be at the London show last year, but he was not.

Would be nice to get a box set from Knebworth. Might as well throw in the Paris gig as well.

Blaze as well please. Even if singing anything in E tuning is probably still an issue for him
