News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I think Infinite Dreams is probably replacing The Clairvoyant.

Aces High could be changed for Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter, I think that would work well in the encores and bring a No Prayer song to the set. I've also thought about Tailgunner in that spot, but it's mostly for the videos sake.

I see people talking about Alexander The Great but it's a lot longer than Aces High, so I doubt it.
 
Tailgunner is about bombers, Aces High is about Spitfires. The video wouldn't match the theme of the song - and I don't believe that Bruce would let this happen ;)

Infinite Dreams is basically confirmed now. I guess that there'll be another change, although I'm expecting an evergreen, not a deep cut.

During the Maiden England rehearsals the idea was to play Infinite Dreams during encores... So: AH->ID? If this is the case, then the question is: which song would replace The Clairvoyant (since it's the one that's the most likely to get axed)? Revelations? The Evil That Men Do? The latter is perhaps the most realistic option, but on the other hand, the setlist would be SSoaSS-heavy. Then again, the 2025 was Powerslave-heavy, so it may not be a problem from the band's POV.

Tbh I don't believe in Alexander, not this time. Bring Your Daughter should be performed (and it'd work really well as the first encore slot), but the band seems not to like NPftD. I haven't seen the movie yet, and I'm not 100% if the quote is from Burning Ambition, but recently I've heard that someone from Maiden said that they don't like playing this material live.

It wasn't. On that list Hallowed and ID were just moved to the end of the lighting queue.

Infinite Dreams was planned in place of ATSS and Hallowed was planned in place of Phantom.

Aces into Infinite Dreams in the encore is an extreme version of vocal BDSM.
 
I think they have to add a PoM song to the setlist. Revelations is the most likely, as WED would be impossible for Bruce at this point and I don't think FoI will be played again live. That's only speculating though. Infinite Dreams for the Clairvoyant is the safest bet.
 
But AtSS was also featured in the early version of the setlist. I've always thought that it did replace ID, but this picture says the opposite. Both were meant to be performed on the tour.

Just to make this clear, I'm not saying they'd play both AH and ID. I was thinking about ID replacing AH.

Atss? Never heard this rumor. ATG would be a super choice if they change aces and another that could be clairvoyant. Im fine with clairvoyant on the setlist.

Talking about ATSS they brougjht back the song in 2013 and i love the song but the 1992 live version of the song shits the 2013 version. Bruce extra animation for me killed the vibe of the song

No. This just means those songs were programmed lighting-wise. Hallowed and ID were dropped during rehearsals and were just moved to the end in case if the band decides to include them again. Light programming starts before the band plays a note in rehearsals. Usually the lighting director starts programming as soon as the lighting rig layout is confirmed by the band. That's why those 2 were programmed.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that they carried it from 2011 tour because of the lawsuit.

But yeah, the placement of ID and Hallowed on the queue list doesn't represent the setlist spot they would be performed in.
 
I think they were sued a few years later. They brought HBTN back in 2016 - and replaced it in 2017 because of the Beckett controversy.

I dont think alexander will be played. Just because they didnt play in athens last tour and 4 epics in the same setlist would be great but nothing more. I guess ID is confirmed now i hope they change aces high for it and not the clairvoyant. I think is not that overplayed maybe 2003 2008 2013 and i think thats all?
