RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

[dickinson1978]

Didn't Bruce say he always wanted to play there before?

In cardiff? Or that place.

 

[dickinson1978]

Are they going to record the paris show?

 

[NavigatorOfTheClouds]

They are playing Bratislava and Lisbone back to back years, therefore I would appreciate minor changes. But probably it won‘t happen.

Any Infos about prices yet?

 

[Vaenyr]

Are they going to record the paris show?

Yes, in the PR statement they said that they will film and record that show. First live album since Nights of the Dead confirmed.

People really should read press releases.

To be fair it's easy to miss little details that are only mentioned in a couple of sentences. Took me a minute to find the relevant section when I was looking for it

You're setting yourself up for disappointment. I very much doubt they'll change any of the songs in the setlist, and even if they were to do that there's no way they'll add a NPFTD song to the list. Even if I'd love that.

But at least will will get a few new Tshirt designs.
It's the smaller things that make a man happy these days.

But honestly, I can see them very well changing Aces Mid into Tailgunner.

Btw, will we give it a try again with FTTB in Hannover, assuming you go there too?( = same plan as Gelsenkirchen then).

Sorry i just checked the dates. So paris and with no phones inside the arena

 

[GhostofCain]

There will absolutely be no setlist changes for 2026.

Is Matt Mills a member of Maidenfans?

Nine classic deep cuts Iron Maiden need to dust off for their 2026 Run For Your Lives shows

Iron Maiden are returning to Europe for the second stint of their 50th-anniversary tour next year. These are the obscure tracks we’d love them to play.

No. I dont think they are going to retire.but its weird that brucr suggested an album with simon on drums when they say that nicko is still a memeber of the band

But he’s not anymore, really.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

Out of curiosity, I checked hotel prices for that night in Cardiff.

£100 plus for a ticket, £200 for a hotel, and £100 on food and travel…

That's not happening either, we have the Spitfire on the poster...

I'm not planning on seeing them in 2026. I love Maiden, but seeing the same show more than once isn't really my thing.

But he can record and he has said it if there is a record he will be there.

I saw LOTB twice. Once in 2018 and one in 2022. I’m glad thr setlist was different.

The location of the 2026 gig will be crucial to me making a decision.

What has convinced me to see another show next year is no plans for 2027 and who knows what happens after that. Time is short they won't be around much longer.

Hey now, I was actually impressed at the low if nonzero number of people who replied to the announcement tweet with "what the hell WHEN'S THE AMERICAN TOUR," even though it wasn't exactly heavily emphasized (they probably should've still bolded some of the key sentences since they're paying for Twitter) that these are merely the initial Euro dates with more to come.

 

[Diplomat]

I think 2027 concert break is last big break before end, than in 2028/2029 world tour (maybe last album tour)... and maybe one more after that, but I don't believe they will tour after 2030/2031. Nobody is getting younger.

Agree. But still I wonder why didn't they do a tour with semi focus on 1995-2021 or at least 2000-2021 (say LOTB promoted Blaze era). They easily could've done that: 10 reunion songs, keep last 6 songs from RFYL set. But I don't see that happening no more cause that would mean 2025-2029 for 1 tour, by far the longest (it would have 4 touring years, LOTB had 3). However, by 2035, I think Maiden would retire, with 1 (maybe 2, not probable) more album and some form of farewell tour.
