News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Nomadd]

They should do the Metallica 2-night per city thing, with different setlists of course. It's a win win situation. They cut the expenses of the touring, they travel less and the fans see more songs being played live. Now, with the screens it's even easier to play more songs live and change things up.

Many people would be forced to buy tickets for both nights just to listen to the whole programm. Same as Metallica fans did on M72 tour. The wallets would be completely drained, but Maiden could announce a very special shows in selected cities around the continent. That would be OK.

I agree. Completely changing sets during 2 shows wouldn't work for Maiden. However, they could do something that Rush do and have an A and a B setlist which differ in 3 songs of equal length and value to the set (for exampla Running Free and Sanctuary/Revelations and Powerslave/CIPWM and Clairvoyant/COTD and The Prisoner) and then play 4 nights in one city with ABAB set rotation. The rotated songs should not be a crucial part of the set.

I think they did that in 2011? Rotating Paschendale and dance of death. And just for a few shows. They dont do that.

Because they chose two difficult long songs to rotate and forgot to tell Nicko that they will be doing Paschendale, which he learned of when they met for rehearsals.

They forgot to tell nicko? Lol

Or Nicko forgot to check out both setlists. There was some misinformation involved about Paschendale.

 

[Austrogoth]

Another option: limited number of shows but all live streamed (not free of course). I'd watch/buy all of them.

He didn’t get the memo. I have heard this as well.

Also it would mean one night couldn't finish with Iron Maiden, throwing away 50 years of a tradition of every gig ever finishing with Iron Maiden just to please this generation of spoilt bastards doesn't square up with what my image of Iron Maiden is.

I dont know if they never finished a gig with iron maiden. Maybe during the early days,but yes a weird choice.

my spoilt bastards comment is a bit over the top I was just a bit wound up after seeing I'm the only one who'll be avoiding set list spoilers in @Dick Brucinson's thread!

Just a bit?

Imagine some cunt recorded their conversation....

I was at this gig, Bruce on form. Priest headlined.

Burce was interviewed on the Shaun Keavney Rock Show on BBC Radio.

I couldn't find the whole interview, but this quote from Bruce is cool and very true:

''Other bands make records, whereas we create world.''

It's going to be a big world as it's in the making for 5 years

"This next song is called PROOOOOOOOWLEEEEER"

Sorry had to do it (throwback to the "Burning Ambition discussion" topic).

It's not about that...

It's abot the fact that @GhostofCain brought up... In the movie Helmuth Von Moltke is speaking about the lyrical depth of Iron Maiden and he is immediately followed by (or preceeded by) Prowler.

I just found that hillarious.
