RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

[dickinson1978]

I’m probably the only fan with a ticket to see this tour who’s disappointed that The Clairvoyant got scratched for Infinite Dreams.
I really wanted to see The Clairvoyant live.

Well im glad they played ID but ill say something unpopular. As much as i love SSOASS, ID is not one of my fav lol. I love the galloping part,one great moment. But not of my fav in that album and in their discography.

Did you not see the 2012-13 or 2025 shows? Clairvoyant has had a good run already…

On a different note the ticket scores listed above suggest maiden sold around 95% of the available tickets in those five shows this year - not bad.

Not bad? They're barely keeping their heads above water.

I saw videos and the floor was far from being filled. At least the first songs. But where can i see the real attendance?

41k apparently. New record for Maiden in Athens. Better result than both Rammstein and Guns N Roses.

Maybe the greeks where late to the show lol. Because the first songs the floor was not full. Apart from that,they are playing big stadiums. That san siro show was imposible to even dream about it in the 90s. I think they olayed reggio emilia?

People regularly post attendance numbers on this forum. I have no idea where they harvest those numbers from.

I dont know if during 80s they played in stadiums like that.
Iron Maiden played four historic, sold-out nights at the Long Beach Arena in California on March 14, 15, 16, and 17, 1985, during their World Slavery Tour. Over the four days, the band performed for a total attendance of over 52,000 fans
4 nights on a pavilion but now at the end of their carrears a tour like this...

Just checked and even in europe most of them pavilions

Instead of Knebworth i think they should of gone with MK Dons/ Coventry stadium. Both are around 30-35k capacity which they would have comfortably filled.

So when you are talking about poor sales is about knebworth? Ok

They have ticket offers so clearly it’s not selling well. I haven’t speculated on sales for other shows.

I did extensive research and conducted many polls and exit interviews. And the conclusion is: Yes, you are the only one...

I can see your point too. I really love the last reborn again and again part at the end when it's done live

Where can i see this?

On Pollstar’s website, the total attendance number is already available, but the detailed breakdown requires a paid subscription.

A real surprise from Adrian, Innocent Exile is even more obscure than Back In The Village. Apparently it's one of his favorite songs to play live! Love such videos.

Isn't this part also from Innocent Exile (1:10)?

Yes its similar to what you pointed.

But i think back in the village is way more obscure, since innocent exile was played on killers tour.

Its true that adrian choices while he plays tje guitar to warm at or to do a video are weird as fuck lol. Didnt he played gangland too? He warm up with the worst songs?

I wonder what exactly did dennis straton during his period in iron maiden. If his role was that important. He was in one record and thats all? Did he write any song? Becuase at least killers album is written by harris and maybe the first album too. For the RRHOF just send a big eddie no one have done that before.

He played 6 solos on the first album and they were all great:

Strange World- first intro solo
Transylvania- first solo
Remember Tomorrow- second solo
Phantom of the Opera- third solo
Charlotte the Harlot-second solo
Sanctuary- first solo

Exactly. The man played his part. He's apart of the history and no need to diminish it.
