Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Nomadd said:
P.S.: I hope that when the current tour concludes, the management will reconsider some of their decisions. After the 2027 break, they might be back just for an occasional live activity based mainly on festivals and some bigger shows in the peculiar regions as a special attraction. Playing the global stadium tours doesn't work well for Iron Maiden in the vast perspective of time (as has been proved by the current tour).

I think we're still getting a few tours. If Maiden once messed up with choice of countries they play in, that doesn't mean they'll stop touring. They can still change a song or two on setlist and make show "worth" seeing again. If Maiden fills these shows with 80% capacity, looking at their 50 year career - does it really matter. They'll take a break in 2027, release a new album possibly and return in 2028, shows will be sold out everywhere.
 
Over the past 15 years Maiden's ticket sales in North America have improved they are now an established arena band, play some stadiuns.

In Europe they can headline stadiums. Ticket prices and visiting same markets may mean 2026 not as good as 2025 but that was arguably their best year in terms of grosses.

Will see Maiden in Lisbon in July, can't wait.

As I live in Bangkok fingers xx one date in this part of the world works for me.

I hope they'll announce the rest of the dates soon. Maybe apart from some obvious countries, such as Australia, NZ, Japan, the band will visit Indonesia, Singapore, and even India (more bands just visited this country and announced dates for 2026). I don't know how big the heavy metal fan base in Thailand is, but who knows?!

If the dates are not released next week then most likely its gonna be after the sales for central america. Wow its 4 months away till the tour begins.
 
I am not holding my breath for Thailand, fingers xx a Friday through Sunday show in Perth, Singapore, KL, Jakarta or Manila, can fly in and out easily.

Scorpions and Leppard doing separate Indian tours this year, good chance Maiden play India.

Im from KL and i can say KL is a definite no. Manila is a possibility because they were supposed to play there during the LOTB tour but was cancelled due to COVID.

Sales in Manila were terrible, I think they could easily visit two cities in India, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, four cities in Australia and announce two indoor shows in Tokyo. The band just has played Australia and Japan two years ago, and the another big tour wouldn't be a good decision. It would be the first time they visit those territories with typical greatest hits programme. I think Iron Maiden will announce some 10 or 11 shows in the whole region. Mostly indoors this time.

I dont know about the sales as it was a festival with Death Angel and a few more bands in Manila that time. But I dont think they will come to SEA region, most likely Oceania and Japan only and maybe India.

I don't think they've planned many dates in Oceania; another arena tour in big cities in the region doesn't make sense, just two years after the last one. I think they will play two or three shows, either individually or at a festival. We should remember there's a festival event called Good Things, which is planned for the first week of December. Maybe they will announce dates in Singapore and Indonesia before visiting India, where they may play two or three gigs. They played there in 2009, 17 years of absence should be a good moment to attract the local fan community. Just looking at the LATAM tour, I think they will play some 10 shows, including two in Tokyo. Recapitulating: the whole tour of 2026 would be a big one with nearly 60 dates around the world.

They could do it, australia, indonesia, singapore, japan then maybe india. But someone said that it ends in japan we shall see
 
Wouldn't hold my breath for the documentary.
Being announced without even a title was weird (considering they had most, if not all material ready), the complete silence after almost a year since the announcement smells like "turned out lame, not gonna release it".

But then it seems that whole 50th anniversary celebration kinda flopped. We got book (which is amazing) and a tour that spans ⅕ od their career. No any reissues/special editions or anything

I dont think it flopped, they did quite well last year. This year their mistake was announcing such a extensive European tour with the same setlist.

Perhaps the documentary will be released together with the new DVD/blue-ray (part of a package). But then again, they have already released history of iron maiden part 1,2,3 so yea is it worth it?

Maybe they change it a bit who knows

For DVD as long as it is focusing on their whole career with respective interviews, it's wort it. But if documentary is 2h long and 1h20min are about period until 90s or until Blaze era idk. Okay book could cover Blaze era more, though they didn't miss anything and acknowledged sort of a mistake Blaze was, but if in documentary Blaze era lasts 2 min and in 20 min is covered reunion with "Maiden is more popular than ever" narrative repeated over and over, it would suck.
