RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

-21st of June should be another

Could be Graspop?

I highly doubt they will do a show somewhere else the day before they record a live album. Nothing, except an additional night in La Defense, makes sense.

Oh yes you´re right!

Looking at the dates, what makes most sense and what I think:

- 2 arena shows in Belgrade before Athens (Tuesday and Wednesday, like Budapest this year, although, they could be putting the announcement behind the schedule because of protests in Serbia)
-Sweden rock on 4th of June. There is no other possibility.
-Yes, June 15th will likely be another show. My money is on Ljubljana or Zagreb. Makes most sense logistically.
-21st of June should be another Paris show

And that might be it for Europe 2026.

So you don't believe in the Pula thing?

-Yes, June 15th will likely be another show. My money is on Ljubljana or Zagreb. Makes most sense logistically.

Not if they do Greenfield on the 12th or the 14th. Or another festival on the 14th.

Also don’t think they will add a second night in Paris before the first announced show.

So realistic dates left are:

- The week before Athens (I'd say Belgrade is most likely)
- 4th of June (Sweden Rock)
- 15th of June (Slovenia or Croatia make most sense)
- 19th of June (likely Hellfest)
-*Potentially* 30th of June, if they play Resurrection on 2nd of July
-9th of July, but I very much doubt they will do a gig there before Knebworth

And that's it.

So you don't believe in the Pula thing?

There is no room for it in the schedule anymore. Unless they do 1 night on 15th of June. But I don't believe they will.

Protests I'm sure wouldn't affect Maiden in any negative way, rather positive one. I'm only scared if government escalates the situation more that could prevent any concerts by foreign bands.

Greenfield ends on 13th of June.

Exactly what I meant. It's a goverment issue. And considering what they did with this year's concerts...

They could start indoor in Ljubljana or Zabreb on May 14th then do Pula on May 16th and 17th

Situation is rather crazy. Don't wanna talk too much, but who is from Serbia and region or follows the situation knows. Just hoping Maiden would come here it would mean to people tons.

Doesn't make sense logistically. Unless the Belgrade gig falls through.

 

[Poto]

Greenfield ends on 13th of June.

Looked at the wrong calendar.

On the 12th then. Which leaves room for a potential show on the 16th.

I don't know anything about Belgrade but Pula has some press articles. Wait and see.

Simply geographical locations and assuming they will rehearse in Split.

Simply geographical locations and assuming they will rehearse in Split.

Same arguments for Pula.

 

[matic22]

Same arguments for Pula.

Pula is much further from Split than Belgrade. And they would need to travel all the way back.

 

[Austrogoth]

Pula is much further from Split than Belgrade.

This is not true. But it doesn't matter, I'll go wherever they are as long as it is the weekend before Athens.

 

[matic22]

This is not true. But it doesn't matter, I'll go wherever they are as long as it is the weekend before Athens.

It's much further if you consider they need to travel back towards Athens afterwards.

Also, I kinda doubt it will be a weekend and the first gig will almost certainly be indoors because of the soundchecks and run-througs.
