News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Why hasn’t this thread been locked yet? The tour is already underway.

My guess: the mods were underpaid, their nerves were hanging by a thread (pun intended)… and in the end they decided to go full Brexit - FORUMEXIT.

Bruce literally just mentioned the setlist in Greece as it was the first show of this run. It's not his fault so many on here worked themselves into a frenzy that it meant they would play ATG.

I didn't say he said anything different, I just said that he said something that could be interpreted as an innuendo to build hype and it did.

Oh i thought i was posting to thr oficial topic.
 
Goodness gracious, I never thought me mentioning that Bruce’s “Greek cunt” comment was xenophobic could lead to such interesting discussions while I am away on holiday! :lol:

Didn’t you have any Aces High videos to keep you entertained??

Joking aside, I hope those of you catching the band on tour this year have a great time!

Yes, as anyone would be, I was offended and still am. And lets attribute it to the heat of the moment for argument's sake. I was doubly offended that he never apologized, even when asked specifically about the incident by the greek Metal Hammer reporter. I will refrain from using any harsh words but I resent him as a person since. We were at that 2022 gig as a family there, this year my wife, who isn't a Maiden or a metal fan, skipped, refusing to go see them again because of that incident, I went with my daughters. All three of us were hoping to hear Alexander after Bruce's hint on the red carpet, which was probably made to hype the first gig of the tour. To see how he smiles saying they won't play Alexander is the last nail in the coffin. My daughters left dissapointed. I've been to enough IM shows to sense that Bruce wasn't feeling easy with the crowd, his between songs talking was minimal, he didn't even introduce the band. Hell, he didn't even complain about the flairs.

Mariner is a great song but not the best long Maiden song like many here say.

My top 10 long songs 8 minutes or longer:

1. Alexander the Great
2. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
3. Hell on Earth
4. The Red and the Black
5. the Book of Souls
6. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
7. If Eternity Should Fail
8. Sign of the Cross
9. Death of Celts
10. When the Wild Wind Blows
 
Oooooh, lists! My top 10 8+ minute songs:

1. Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
2. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
3. Dance Of Death
4. Hell On Earth
5. The Legacy
6. Dream Of Mirrors
7. The Book Of Souls
8. The Clansman
9. The Red And The Black
10. For The Greater Good Of God

Ask me tomorrow and some of the spots will change, some of the songs as well.
 
Oh I like lists!!! Let's go. The 8 min. minimum duration makes it easy for me to be honest, because all my absolute favourites are a bit shorter tracks (5-8 mins) My favourite 8+ min songs:
1. Hell on Earth
2. Seventh Son
3. For the Greater Good of God
4. Dance of Death
5. Alexander the Great
6. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
7. Dream of Mirrors
8. Sign of the Cross
9. The Book of Souls
10. The Legacy
 
Yeah I can't help myself with lists. By my count there are 30 tracks over 8 minutes.
A lot of songs I expected to be there were a little bit shorter including Phantom, Hallowed, To Tame a Land, and Starblind.

1. Hell on Earth
2. Isle of Avalon
3. Alexander the Great
4. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
5. The Red and the Black
6. Dance of Death
7. The Clansman
8. The Book of Souls
9. Death of the Celts
10. The Man Who Would Be King

If it had been a Top 15 list I'd also have included Rime, The Nomad, The Talisman, When the Wild Wind Blows and The Parchment

With the final show of 2025 over it's time to look towards next year.

What we do know is that Maiden will tour, and it will be the Run For Your Lives Tour again.

It's looking very likely that the tour will go to Europe again. Either from late May or early June, probably shorter than this year and more focused on festivals.

It's also very, very likely that they will go to North and South America.

I expect the tour to be announced fairly soon, sometime in September is my guess. Same as last year.
