Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[ShadowOfTheGods]

In 2027 will be Bruce's big tour with solo stuff. I don't think Maiden will find the Time to play more than 15 dates in '27.

Why is that? Bruce has played 32 shows with Maiden this year and he's about to tour solo.

The name of the tour. 2025/26. There is no mention of 2027 anywhere.

Also, they won't tour Europe for 3 years straight with the same tour/setlist, and they can't just play Oceania and Asia alone. So, if they're really going there, they will next year. If not, then they might go there in 2027 but it will be another tour.

Plans constantly change, the fact no 2027 isn't mentioned on the poster doesn't rule out a 3rd leg entirely.

Plans constantly change

Unless something beyond their control happens, plans don't change.
2026 will see the end of this tour. If that was supposed to happen, then they would've tour Europe again in 2027, not next year.

Oh you mean like the Maiden England 2012-2014 tour that constantly had added shows and legs and got stretched further than originally planned?

While I genuinely hope that they wont add a 2027 leg to RFYL, it's far from impossible. There's precedent for that.

Exactly, that tour was originally planned for two years.

Acting like you know what Maiden will or won’t do in 2027 is laughable.

 

[Prowler]

We'll know in a month or 2. If there are European dates for 2026, I doubt there will be RFYL in 27.

 

[GhostofCain]

Can’t wait for this one…

Ok I’ll stop now!

Second best live version of the song after this year’s one at Graspop?

Some people might find it acceptable though.

I thought Maiden England was announced one year at a time? I don't think they said from the get go when announcing the American run "Maiden England 2012-2013"? My recollection may be hazy though.

If I remember right, generally they have announced each tour one year at a time and leave it open ended as to whether the tour will continue another year or just allude to visiting other territories the following year. A tour has never been advertised like RFYL with the following year referenced in marketing.

While it definitely feels like it’s a way of saying the tour will only span these two years, there is literally nothing stopping them from going a third year if they want to. We’ll just have to wait and see.
