RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

Going with Adrian's interview, in first half of 2026 IM is inactive (he said that spring 2026 looks good for some Smith/Kotzen shows). So, I expect them to tour the NA in late July, August and early September and going to SA in October (there is a rumoured October 6th 2026 date in Bogota).
It's probably the same as the Legacy of the Beast 2019 schedule. I wonder if they announce Asia/Oceania dates just after South America (October/November). Bruce announced in Sydney 2024 that they "will come back very soon".

Brief Prediction:
July: N. America (7)
August: N. America (14)
September: N. Am/S. Am (13)
October: S. Am/Oceania (12)
November: Asia (4)
 
The 2nd EU leg will happen next year.
Sorry, where do you know it from? Finally, they may announce the 2027 EU/UK tour, but if we can predict a big 2026 tour (according to Bruce):

June - July: EU/UK (16)
July: Asia/Oceania (8)
July - September: N. America (28)
September - October: Latin/South America (10)

61 shows, 5 months;

If they're coming back to Europe next year (which I'm sure they will), they will come back for festivals and an handful of headline shows. I can't see them doing more than a month of tour here. They could also scrap Asia and Australia and go directly to the Americas, same as 2022.
 
Yeah but the band is nowhere to be seen, I was curious if someone like Leana wrote that they will be arriving tomorrow

How unprofessional would that be? My hair is standing on end right now.
As a band, you want to rehearse in peace as much as possible and not give the fans the idea of coming to see them by confirming that the band is there now.
I have to say that maybe even Pooch would have been better asked not to post anything, although of course many fans have suspected that they are rehearsing in Split.

I think appearing at some European festivals in 2026 would indeed be a good strategy.
 
Yep. It's literally in the title.
I think so too, but I guess that wouldn't be a problem if they want to do a short European 3rd leg, mainly with festivals before the release/record of a potential new album. Next year they could do the Balkans and everything else (NA, SA, Asia, Oceania - they won't miss any) like in 2022. With other festivals or not. 1 month and a half at most. Bruce promised a big tour, so more than 4 months, like the 2022 tour. It depends on their plans, Bruce's touring plans too (if any). The first half of next year is free for them, so it will most likely start in the summer, June or July. The next tour will/should start in Europe again, considering their habits now. But a 3rd leg of this tour is still 50/50, methinks. We need to see the dates for next year, if they do some European shows, then it won't have.
 
Since Bruce hinted a “big Iron Maiden tour in 2026”, I’m pretty sure that means a bigger one than Legacy in 2022 and Future Past 2024, and January through April seems to be the only months freetime for the band.

No one except them selves how their shedule for 2026 will be, but I have a theory:


May 2026:
Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and potentially other Asian countries like the Philippines.

June/July 2026:
Europe again, mainly festivals and additional arena/stadium gigs in countries/cities not visited in 2025

September/October 2026:
North Amarica across Canada, United States, and Mexico. Avoids conflict with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which takes place in June and July.

November 2026:
South America, across countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.

Colombia and the other S. Am countries will be in October for sure. They could start with Asia/Oceania in May or close the tour with that leg, who knows.
