Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[matic22]

Australia, NZ and Asia will have to factor into that somewhere too, if they don't play those places next year a brief 3rd leg is still open

That's true.

No. The Future Past tour did not go to Athens at all, and it wasn't because of the flares. When Bruce played a festival in Athens on his solo tour they played most of ATG for the crowd.

well not most of it, a small part of it. still it was a great surprise. i was there.

I think they need to update the Iron Maiden picture to reflect the current line-up.

I see AEG is launching a new festival at Roundhay Park, Leeds late June, early July. Capacity 70000. Same time as Hyde Park, London

Maiden do one of those? Maiden play Live Nation mostly North American and UK?

I thought similar, it would be great as it`s local to me,but not sure it will happen as it seems a late call if Maiden have plans already sorted. I`ve seen a few concerts there over the decades including my very first one, Madonna 1987, still got the ticket and t shirt somewhere.

Would it be a metal festival?

It does not look like it, unless it has different themes on different days:

Lewis Capaldi to headline AEG Presents' inaugural Roundhay Festival and BST Hyde Park

Lewis Capaldi will be performing at Roundhay Park in Leeds – billed as his biggest UK festival headline show to date – and will make his solo debut at BST Hyde Park next summer...

I know they did play Leeds festival before, but I'm sure Slayer at least were also on the bill. Can't see Maiden playing a more diverse festival, not in the UK anyway

I didn`t realise the date was sorted yet , no chance of playing at a mainstream festival. The Leeds festival they have played was the Leeds/Reading one at Bramham.

Are they playing Bloodstock instead of Download then?

Are they playing Bloodstock instead of Download then?

I would be happy with that to be fair.

I think Leeds has different days with different bands, bit like Hyde Park. In theory Maiden could headline one day, have metal bands opening. Didn't play Yorkshire this year. But AEG promoted, Maiden Live Nation?

Apparently, two festival dates in Spain will be announced on 23rd September:

A Greek IM fan club page on Facebook posted the RFYL 2026 poster with a “coming soon” message, rumours for 23/05 for Greece.

That would make sense and would likely be the first gig of the tour.

I've heard strong rumors about 16.5. for Greece, someone in the comments also mentioned 23. but maybe the tour announcement will be on 23. of september.
It's a little bit early to start a tour in the middle of may but the guy who made a post is reliable promoter from Thessaloniki.

The poster came from an italian page, it's just the artwork of the tour without Eddie, something easy achieveable with AI

Where did he make the post?

...It's a little bit early to start a tour in the middle of may...

The 2nd leg is said to be big, so. And if they have some other plans for the fall after the tour... like in 2014 if the tour ends in September.
