RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

When did he say that?

I believe it was around the time Senjutsu was released. IIRC I think it was along with toying with the idea of playing all of Senjutsu live (which I would have loved). But if there is ever going to be a show for the hardcore fans I'd like what I said earlier - made up primarily of rarely played and never played songs.
 
Now the tour is over, and I am still not convinced by the name. I thought that when I see the show, I would understand the concept and the name. But that wasnot the case.
Of course I know that Run to the Hills is a hit, especially with casual fans, but I still think that calling the anniversary tour Run for your Lives is one of the weaker ideas.

Yes, this. I would jump at the chance to see a European festival show.

But American amphitheaters are just giant, awful structures with bad sound and bad accessibility (and $25 beers). Plus, allowing daylight in ruins the vibe for the opener and will no doubt look worse for Maiden's new screens. If the sound is gonna be mediocre at best anyway, at least in an indoor arena I know that the show won't be cancelled due to weather.

Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA has consistently great sound, even on the lawn. I wouldn't mind if Maiden came back to play there again.

Think logically.

There is absolutely no way they do a 1995 to present tour for two reasons.

One the first two albums listed on the poster would be Blaze albums, so not gonna happen. They may play two big songs from those albums that the crowd enjoy but other than that, not gonna happen.

Secondly they are not going to do an entire show with no 80s classics on it whatsoever. No Trooper, Not etc. I would love it but the casuals wouldn't.

I don’t see them doing it, but it’s not an insurmountable problem to overcome. Just addding the word ‘featuring’ to 'BNW to New Album' (they’d almost certainly skip the Blaze albums) changes expectations quite a bit. If they really wanted to do it it’s easily worked around.

If it was really about having the hit “Run to the Hills” in the title somehow, it wouldn't have been hard to make it sound more like an anniversary, like “Still Running to the Hills” or something.
