RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

I think the setlist is okay, but no more. For a regular "hits" tour - fine.
However, for the 50th anniversary tour it's quite a let down.
Especially when recalling how dramatically it got announced, like biggest stage, most impressive thing ever etc.
Everything correct when taken literally, like five feet more here and three feet there in its measures, but when it comes to the choice of songs in total, it's underwhelming and does not do justice to what it all got anounced.
But okay.

That's my whole thought as well. For a 50th anniversary tour they really had to go all out and surprise fans with more than just epics that, quite frankly, carried the whole setlist.

SBiT had Moonchild, Heaven Can Wait and Revelations added to the setlist. Maiden England had ATSS, TETMD, and Running Free. That could've given us some of that but no. They went the uninspired encore route unfortunately.

I think the big screen was too overhyped. Maybe if they had brought out more props it already was a lot different.

I'm going to say something controversial here, and Maiden is my favorite band of all time, but this tour feels so incredibly overhyped at the moment. Bruce's "this is a setlist for the ages" and his promise of "doing stuff we've never done before". It all feels like a big marketing stunt at this point.

Sure there was the big ass screen and sure they played Rime, 7th son, Powerslave, Killers, Phantom and what not. But compared to the LotB tour this was nothing special at all. Especially after a massive tour like the Future Past Tour playing songs from an album they hadn't touched in years!

I might even say that I think this is by far the weakest "hits" tour we've had. SBiT was World Slavery 2.0. Maiden England was 7th Son tour 2.0. The Future Past was Somewhere in Time 2.0. Those tours were hyped up but with good reason! This? This feels like they took elements from all those tours (and LotB ) put in a blender and label it as "50th anniversary tour"

This feels so much like "okay let's throw in some Killers tracks as opening songs, Rime and 7th son and people will lose their minds. They won't care for the rest". I will still go and see them in Arnhem later this year but man. So many missed chances on here. No love for NPFTD. No love for deep cuts or songs thay haven't been played for years. Don't know exactly how to feel emotionally....
