News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[dickinson1978]

Νumber of the beast
Powerslave
Wasted years
Run to the hills
Fear of the dark
Iron maiden
Rime of the ancient mariner
Hallowed be the name
Trooper
Aces High
Killers
Probably not changed based on the promo video.

If that is the promo for the 2026 tour. Aces high is not dropped.

 

[The_7th_one]

Maybe they have a little bit different set list for Europe and they play Aces High for American audience.
Oh Infinite Dreams lol

 

[Ruflux]

ID hinted --> set is getting changed --> when it's changed always it's at least 2 songs --> which possible songs could they be --> (one of them) AH cause of Bruce' voice

Yeah and they've never premiered a new song live after its original album tour, until 2023. They've never returned to a song they dropped mid-tour previously, until 2017 and 2018 if you consider Wrathchild a special exception. Assigning rules to Maiden at this stage of their career is stupid, since they've been busy breaking them all over the place. LotB '20 originally being intended to be the same set as the two previous years is another example.

 

[Prowler]

If they played 2MTM at the soundcheck, I think we'll only get Infinite Dreams for The Clairvoyant. I don't see a reason to drop Wrathchild. Maybe they drop Murders and just open with Wrathchild.

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

I don't think they would have created a Paris-themed digital backdrop just to drop the song it's attached to.

And what instead of murders

They didnt hint what? Bruce has hinted for ages. Without trying to remember. The whole pyramids and rime for somewhere back in time. And many others

 

[Prowler]

Evil maybe? Maybe Revelations, Alex? I don't think they'd play something they haven't played for years. Infinite Dreams will be the surprise. If they change a 2nd song it will either be a live staple or Alex because of Athens.
I think we'll only get ID though

If I'm honest and as much as I'd like to see them do it for Athens, I don't think they'll play Alex

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I think there was a brief period of validity to the Aces Might Be Dropped Chat.

After the first leg Bruce admitted he was struggling (Charismatic Voice interview). Steve said they could or should have rested it, can't remember the source on that but feels right.

Then Bruce teased Infinite Dreams so one song in, one song out, could be Aces, possibly maybe.

But really that was put to bed days ago with some official video with Aces in the background.

I think the chat that Murders might get swapped is way more deluded. Zero reason to think they will change it. Suits me, I love it.

 

[GroundZero]

Honestly it’s now or never for playing ATG in Greece. There is nothing to suggest they will play it tomorrow but one can only dream.

 

[Prowler]

Maybe they'll just make an exception for Greece and they play a 2nd encore. Have they ever done something like that?

 

[naranja]

I don't know about playing Rime, 7th son AND Alexander tbh. Three epics? Not that I would complain though

I think we should temper our expectations though. I bet we don't even get Infinite Dreams, but if we do, just swapping out an overplayed boring classic for that one song instantly makes the setlist elite.

 

[Trevoire]

It's very likely that it is actually a live recording that was chosen for the soundcheck.

Yeah it's very likely that much of this Pooch doing virtual soundcheck with multitracks from previous tours.

 

[GroundZero]

Infinite Dreams is getting played, it’s been teased a lot to not have it included in the end. Probably Clairvoyant is off.

 

[FeelLikeIveForumedBefore]

Although Id love to see it live in the states; I wouldn't mind if they played it just in Athens for the Greeks

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

I bet we don't even get Infinite Dreams

Worst. Bet. Ever.

 

[Yax]

Worst. Bet. Ever.

Only 100% sure song, every damn show, every damn tour, is Iron Maiden. So betting it won't be played - that would be the worst bet ever.

Well, ok, you got me there. But they're still gonna play Infinite Dreams tomorrow night and you know this, man!

 

[Vaenyr]

I guess that means the Rime backdrop/video isn't A.I. generated. I really thought it was.

We saw glimpses of the production but obviously not the entire thing. I don't think anyone claimed the entire thing was AI-generated. Just some supplementary uses here and there, possibly due to time constraints.
