News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I assume they'll use some footage from the 2025 Paris shows and other (outdoor) shows as usual ( :S ).

As for the setlist, maybe they could change one song, after all Bruce dropped one of his toughest songs during his solo tour last year. I'm thinking Aces, but they like the screen stuff for it. Maybe not Infinite Dreams, but Evil That Men Do or something. It all depends on their desire... like new music now...

I thinks aces high too. We have good versions of that song but now is really hard to play at the end of the show and its not close to a good version. So im starting to think they are going to change it because of the live show rhat they are going to record
 
Aces High will not be changed. They created an entire video for it which goes beyond the borderline screensaver that SSOASS got.

None of the other songs will be changed either, but Aces High is one of the centerpieces. Come on now.

They can do another one. Ssoass could be another one but i think its great to have it on the set list but for sure its one of the ones less greatest hits and more deep cut. But aces its just really bad to see. I doubt they want to record that when we have LAD and flight 666 with a good aces high. I think steve said that he wanted evil that men do again on the live shows so they can change ssoass for evil but aces in all shows was bad. I think that the screen video its no problem to change it.
 
Aces won't be dropped but what if they change things a bit and open with that. Then for the encore they can play the whole London video screensaver and play Murders/Wrathchild/Killers or whatever else they want off the first 2 albums like Running Free.
Honestly something like that will work a lot better!
Doctor Doctor
1. Churchill's speech/Aces High
2. Wrathchild
3. Killers
4. Phantom
everything else the same
Encore
15. the london video/ Running Free
16. Fear of the Dark
17. Wasted Years
So, only one song replaced (Murders for Running Free) and it will work a lot better. + no need for the Paris screensaver

That could be an option change the positions in the setlist. I think the same setlist is the real option a few options for song dropped because adrian said it and steve almost said it and the other is change the positions that would work better for sure but i think they are not going to move that start

I'm sure that would work as a show but I'd say it's unlikely considering they're doin a live video from Paris. Plus I get the feeling that they really quite enjoy doin Murders, seems a fun song to play and a great opener, in my opinion.

I doubt they will change anything but Steve's mention of Evil opens the possibility, I suppose. I reckon it would be a straight swap, Aces for Evil. I very much doubt they would drop 7th Son cos it's fantastic and Bruce gets his big impressive long note.

I'm a fan of the setlist but having seen the show 3 times I kinda feel the run of Rime/Hills/7th Son is a bit....clunky. I dunno. I get the idea of playing something short and upbeat in between Rime and 7th Son but Hills doesn't quite fit for me. Maaaaybe stick Evil in place of Hills and drop Aces for Hills.

Anyway, all speculation, I'm leaning 95% no changes.

Evil that men do should be first option becuase of steve interview.

I just hope that they don't drop The Clairvoyant from the 2nd leg of the tour again, they already did that twice before and I have a feeling that they will do it again. Evil instead of it most likely.

I’d be incredibly disappointed if they do that. I’m looking forward to it as a highlight when I see them in September.

Agreed. I've been ambivalent to The Clairvoyant in recent years but very much enjoyed it (and the artwork). Hope they keep it.
 
I still can't believe the tour called Run for Your Lives doesn't have the song said line is from as the last encore so each gig would literally end on "run for your lives". If they didn't stick Aces High in the encore I could almost believe it was so Bruce could deliver a better performance, but as it stands RTTH is kinda just there awkwardly in the middle of the set and they have another nonstarter song in the encore instead.

I dont think the clairvoyant would be the choice if some song is dropped. Aces high for sure if they make changes. Because its one song that they butcher show after show.
When has happened this before? A song horrible to watch ? Just during blaze era
 
I don't think they'll touch Wasted Years, too. The only one that I can see replaced is the Clairvoyant. I hope I'm wrong and they surprise us with something bold.
 
Interviewed aboard the Monsters of Rock Cruise where he is playing with side project British Lion, 70-year-old Harris said: “It seems like next year Maiden are not going to do, if anything… anything at all.

“So I might go out and do some festivals next year with British Lion. When I get back with the lads, the Maiden lads that is, I just want to make sure that that is what everyone wants – to take the year off."
“It seems like it is but I just wanted to double check that everyone is up for that. I mean, I wasn’t particularly, so we’ll see if there’s any others that…
I just think at our age you’ve got to keep going. I’m scared to stop, if I’m honest. But we’ll see. It looks like we’re going to take the year off and if that’s the case, I don’t want to sit around twiddling my thumbs.”
