News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[MrK]

I think expecting Alexander the Great again is a massive false hope.

The only song I could see making an appearance is Infinite Dreams, based solely on the branding appeal of selling that book and Bruce's recent red carpet comment.

But I also think zero changes is the most likely scenario.

 

[matic22]

There will be changes. Otherwise there would be no reason for Bruce to say that on the red carpet.

Rime was being teased left, right and center before RFYL. "Favourite song", "Cast off the boat of the new IM tour" etc... Seventh Son also was to some extend. Bruce knows exactly what he is doing. Same happened with Stranger In A Strange Land before TFP. They will switch 2-3 songs and if they are smart, Aces High is one of them.

 

[chaosapiant]

They should swap Rime for Alex and call it a day.

 

[Poto]

Aces High is likely to be played as the tour artwork has a spitfire.

 

[Stardust]

Meanwhile I'm still baffled Running Free wasn't played on the tour and that it likely won't make this tour either.

 

[matic22]

Aces High is likely to be played as the tour artwork has a spitfire.

I said... If they are smart. But we all know the great stubborness of S. P. Harris and P. B. Dickinson. From a musical standpoint, Aces High should go.

That said, I wouldn't pay too much attention to artwork, because in 2022 tour artwork got changed last minute. It's a hint, but nothing certain.

Its true that the tour artwork has an spitfire so it would be weird not to play it. But it sounds awful. He cant sing this song at the end of the show. Is one of the hardest songs even for an opener,but i agree the dont want to xhange

 

[matic22]

Also, the thing is... We are only talking how the changes might make the set better. But realistically, they could also make it worse. Dropping Seventh Son would be a move that would do that.

Yes that would be worst. 2 epics like that in the same setlist is great. And we dont see ssoass played very often. Just 88 2013 and now.

 

[dickinson1978]

I'd still bet no setlist changes are far more likely than there being any setlist changes. No need to build up false hopes for things that aren't likely.

Bruce saying check the setlist could mean that they are going to change something and adrian said that too so..it could be.

 

[GhostofCain]

I mean, it makes sense to have Infinite Dreams in the set. The book and the museum are both named after the song. It was a bit like years and years ago when they didn’t play Out of the Silent Planet on the Brave New World tour even though it was a single (excluding a couple of shows)

Out of the Silent Planet was chosen as a single by the record company (if I remember correctly, the band wanted to release Brave New World instead), hence the band not having included it on the setlist for the tour. It was only played at 4 gigs in 2001.

 

[GhostofCain]

Sighs… *opens the Ticketmaster app to look for Knebworth tickets*

I must admit I found myself doing the same. It is still too expensive.

I am sure Eddfest would be great and if I had gone there I would have had a blast, but I cannot justify paying that amount of money for a just couple of setlist changes.

Plus it wasn't released until most of the tour was over

 

[Trevoire]

The Greece hint is obvious. They'll play Alex.

I think he's only mentioning Athens because it's the first show of the tour.

 

[Ledges Bitten In Dust]

I think he's only mentioning Athens because it's the first show of the tour.

Why wouldn't he say we start 23. or we start on Saturday. It's more relevant to say when they start rather than where they start.

 

[Prowler]

The way he said it, is a hint. He might just tease us.

 

[Prowler]

I don't want them to drop the Clairvoyant anyway. It's likely that if they swap a song, it'd be that. I'd prefer the set to stay the same if that's the case. I really like that song and I don't really care for Infinite Dreams personally and I also saw Alex live many times. If they were to drop 2 mins on the other hand, it would be perfect for me

The only song that really needs to be change is aces high. Cant imagine the live dvd with that song singed like that

Or on cd or vinyl where is no video to take your attention.

When talking about shows you hardly hear the date mentioned, it's always the city and/or country.
