RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

Personally, I think the Maiden England tour was the worst setlist I have seen from the boys.

The worst setlist I saw (and I saw every tour from 1990 on up til present) was GMETID in 2003. Sure, tastes differ, but I felt it was weird from the beginning til the end. Saw them at Donington then. World premier of a new song named "Wildest Dreams"... what a turd. And then TNOTB as an opener... Weird. The only surprise was BYDTTS (and maybe 22 Ave).
 
What do you all expect regarding the stage setup? I know Bruno announced it was going to be something amazing, as big as never before etc... but... idk. The era of innovative (and really impressive) stages ended with SSOASS. Later the 2003 DOD stage was a bit of a surprise, the castle, but still 2003 was far from what I'd call impressive. It was still somewhat of a normal stage for a band of Maidens call.
It has been the same for the past 20 years yet. The ramps and the backdrops. Backdrops have become boring over the years imho.

And I wonder if Maiden would still put money and effort in creating innovative new stages since they sell out their shows ANYWAY, plus: The end is quite near, so what for should they spend money for a new stage. From their perspective: A waste of money and effort.

What do you think?

Laughable. A good number of songs that had not played in over a decade were played on that tour (Revelations, Die With Your Boots On, Bring Your Daughter… to the Slaughter, 22 Acacia Avenue)!!!

They promised something special, like never before. I think (if) they wanna make RfyL Tour as something to remember, the book, documentary, pop-ups, many other attractions - the tour is a clue. I predict they'll use a lot of screens, elaborate lights, no backdrops this time.
 
Until they prove me wrong, I’m expecting the same old stage setup. In that regard, the Future Past tour was a big letdown for me compared to the ’86 tour. And the possibility of more screens doesn’t seem all that exciting at the moment. I also agree with @Dick Brucinson —at this stage in their career, it makes little sense to pour big money into the stage show, as sad as that may sound.

Maiden know they are known for their live stage shows, so ofc they will something special for such a big anniv. And maybe they will only use the new stage (most likely with screens) from now on..

TFP tour was a step in the right direction and was unique. The 80's shows had a special charm, it was different.
