Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Nomadd]

Maiden sold more tickets in 2025 than for the entire Future Past tour

I know about but 2026 its too many shows in EU.

Its true that now we have seen how is the tour its different. At the end it will be sold out

Let's hope. Maybe not sold out but a good amount of sales.

It's always funny to read business analysis from someone without access to decision room & data.

While I don't agree with the doomsday prophet here, I am a bit baffled by some of the venues they have chosen for next year. In particular France seems very optimistic, and they haven't exactly had a very promising start to the sales. Lyon will be tough to get even close to a sell out the way it's looking at the moment.

I dont see the judas /alice cooper situation. Maiden always have good atendance

Although they will add some good support act(s) to the bills. Lyon is generally a hard market for metal. In the other hand on next Tuesday Bruce's singing American Anthem during the opening night of NHL games season at LA Arena. There are some plans for future cooperation between Maiden and The Kings, even more - Bruce should announce something special on that night. I guess the American tour announcement is coming. I bet for tour embracing 7 - 8 weeks from the second half of July until the first week of September. So, we will see.

The first leg was announced even a little earlier and the sales were extremely fast, BUT it was a brand new tour, with big mouth announcements and big expectations. In this September fans were just after the expensive experience of new live show, and suddenly they announce the next big European tour to come. Same show and setlist. If I was Rod, I would announce just one big show in France instead 2 or 3.

This bit is pretty much correct and as many have commented before, the same show in the same places 1 year later is odd and will cause a slow ticket uptake.

But Rod doesn't care as usual. May agree with my opinion or not, but IM manager is completely out of reality nowadays and the band is on the way to decline just because HIS stupid decisions. They should ask him to retire and find someone right or... just disband after 2026.

The bolded parts are just a bit silly to be honest.

The weirdest decisions are to return to France after Norway and Germany - Sweden - Germany - Germany.
(I believe they are playing at Sweden Rock because otherwise Sweden wouldn't get a show at all.)

They will play Sweden Rock.

We never consider that they are also human beings. Perhaps Bruce and Leana said they wished to return to France (for personal reasons).
