News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[GroundZero]

I wanted to say that Maiden are not so adventurous with their setlists on the same tour to make such a swap with both Infinite Dreams and ATG but that specific Athens comment from Bruce makes me think otherwise. Fingers crossed 7th Son doesn’t get dropped though.

I wanted to say that Maiden are not so adventurous with their setlists on the same tour to make such a swap with both Infinite Dreams and ATG but that specific Athens comment from Bruce makes me think otherwise. Fingers crossed 7th Son doesn’t get dropped though.

It's a real big track and one if the main events of the set so I don't think it will get swapped.

 

[Azas]

Out:
Murders in the Rue Morgue
The Clairvoyant
Aces Nigh? or 2 Minutes

In:

Infinite Dreams
Alexander the Great

No thank you. I saw ATG two years ago and while it was gloriously triumphant, this September I’m looking forward to seeing Murders and Clairvoyant.

Murders isn't getting replaced.

You probably won’t hear The Clairvoyant. Most likely, Infinite Dreams will take its place.

 

[Ironalice]

I think it's nearly certain Clairvoyant is getting swapped out of the set.

 

[Randalf]

I absolutely love the fact that the second most requested song for this tour, after Infinite Dreams, is freaking Tailgunner.

I know it's mostly just due to it feeling like a logical shoo-in option for Aces High, but hey...

 

[Prowler666]

Hopefully POTO, SSOASS, ROTAM is not dropped for the upcoming tour. The others especially FOTD can be swapped but of course they wont

 

[Wogmidget]

Or are they gonna pull a fast one with Flight of Icarus, their other Greek song?

(or only Greek song, if you ask the Macedonians)

That’d be a dream for Aussie fans who entirely missed the Legacy tour.

Has anyone considered the possibility of adding the ultimate deep cut — Burning Ambition? I feel like it’s short enough and probably easy enough to just go between Wrathchild and Phantom without being dropped. I can definitely see Clairvoyant being dropped for either Infinite Dreams or The Evil That Men Do (which is probably much more likely). As much as I want to see it, I think Aces should probably leave the set (or at least be moved somewhere else in the set).

EDIT: I know Killers is after Wrathchild, I just think BA could go either side of Killers well.

Wasted Years, I kinda want gone. They’ve closed with it two of the last three shows I’ve seen. It’s had its time.

 

[GroundZero]

As much as I love Wasted Years as a closer, not ending the Run For Your Lives tour with Run To The Hills is madness.

That's true.

But I think they love Wasted Years as a closer because of the message and they know every tour could be their last at this point due to their age.

 

[NavigatorOfTheClouds]

Aces High x Alexander the Great
The Clairvoyant x The Evil that Men Do

Those make perfect sense (though I love The Clairvoyant)

But i can Not See where to put in Infinite Dreams?

Instead of Evil.

Flight of icarus is another song that they could play.

 

[Kalata]

I'm still a bit mad the original plan was very likely they'd play it and The Fallen Angel as the bonus tracks for the Rock in Rio show/live album but instead replaced them with fucking RTTH.

Agreed, but this concert they needed Hills, one of their all time classics. They just had to play them all. The set also missed a SIT song (but played one during the previous tour) and a NPFTD song (they really don't like that album; at least they played one from it for the following tour).

SIASL sounded great during the last tour

And as a result we got one of the best live renditions of the song. Win-win situation!

Spoiler

Infinite Dreams? Can we really expect it now?

I think the "As we start in Athens" comment by Bruce, together with Janick not being there, can only mean that he went with Steve to Split so they can rehearse something special for the Greek fans.
