RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

Got in touch with ticketmaster.

While you can't upgrade you can contact their support and if you book for the same venue, same or higher price and not through the resale market, then they will refund your old ticket.

Just did it and I am waiting for confirmation they refunded my GA one. There are still front of stage tickets available if anyone is interested.

I've been listening to the Powerslave album on repeat lately and every time I listen to the title track, I think that it should be played in this tour. It's one of those songs that can look really grande with props/lights/backdrops/screens anything.

Like Rime, and I think they'll go for it this time. Probably any Maiden epic/80's song (most of them) can look amazing with effects on screens..., temple, pyramid, sand, sea, ship.

There is some kind of church/building in ruins on the left and some japanese structure on the right

The tour poster probably has some hints, but not that definitive. The church is curious, the building in ruins is 2 Minutes.
 
I mean the poster doesn't have a ship or an albatross as well. Everything is possible.

That's true, but Powerslave/Rime have more potential imo too look epic.

Just a tiny bit of information... Poland doesn't have FOS standing. There are only early entry tickets, which are kinda pointless because of FTTB.

Got that info directly from Polish FC members.

There's a bit of green mist in there somewhere. I take that to be the green mist from the modern Rime art that was done a few years ago. Rime confirmed, in my opinion.

It's clearly impressive and interesting enough, given how well they've done and still (basically) sell out most of the shows in most of their major markets.

Of course they could invest more on production values, have bit of a different marketing strategy and whatnot that could/would result in growth, be it significant or not, but as it is, it's not like the Maiden machine is exactly struggling and honestly, I don't blame them (even Rod) for not optimizing their market value & viability for new/younger audiences at this point of their career. Besides, there is still a lot of young people attending shows in their biggest markets (e.g South America, Europe) and in that sense, they do attract new fans in general, albeit obviously not as much as in their heyday, and their cultural significance and status is remarkable and I agree that they're mostly (=big masses of their audience) a "legacy band" for people who grew up with their music in the 80-90's, but getting new generations on board has been one of the most prominent factors of their "second golden era" around 2008.

Besides, I personally like how they've operated outside of the Metallica & co. scale of mainstream and although undeniably smaller act, I think Iron Maiden is very good at doing their own thing and totally a world-class act in any case.

As for the scale of their show, it's true that a lot of acts have surpassed it in a way, but frankly, Maiden's "boxed" yet theatrical and pleasantly subtle (with the lights, effects and all) show approach is (in my opinion) of course a lot more impressive than e.g Metallica's stadium shows from the recent years.

I've very much enjoyed seeing these "bigger" shows by Metallica a couple of times, but honestly, just the scale of the show doesn't really make it that impressive or memorable; the stage show/production itself wasn't anything to write home about, outside it's sheer physical size. Where as dry ice effect, lights, Bruce with a trench coat, giant candles & Scribe Eddie framed by icy Seventh Son style icy drapes within a "Maiden box stage" in 2013 = win. :)

I'm biased, I know. :D I just don't see how it's even relevant that Maiden isn't growing much at this point, as their legacy & appeal seems to be mostly intact anyway and I don't see it dying out anytime soon, whether they'll continue touring for a couple of more runs or not.

Did, or will they ever maximize their market value & reach? No. Does it matter? No.

Will they still be remembered as a global phenomenon and a one of the most influential bands of all time with a legendary mascot & stunning live shows, along with the more or less truthful legend of being probably the "biggest underground band in the world"? Absolutely yes!

Thing to recall about 'younger fans' is that they attracted loads in the 2000s....

Who are now in their 40s!!! So again another middle aged layer of the fanbase, but there was a great amount of fan recruitment about 20 or so years ago, so not just the 80s fans who are now in the 50s/60s.

As much as I like joking about Rod Smallwood and Maiden's cheapskate behavior, I will always admit that he is a great manager, and the strategy they came up with after the reunion worked. It's easy to compare Maiden with the 'biggest' rock bands and find faults (mind you, except for Metallica, most of those are rock, not metal, and this attracts a bigger crowd, as somebody else has said). But if you compare them with their peers, who either started at the same time or swam in the same pool for years, Maiden are light years ahead. I think the New/Old tour works, and although it started in 1999, I believe it was the 2006-2009 period when they perfected it, got thumbs up from both critics and fans, and made a name for themselves in the general population.

BTW, all the talks about Rod being a bad manager make no sense. Maiden is probably the less commercial Metal band ever. Not just because of their music but also due to the way they approach things. Yet, they're still getting bigger year after year and most importantly they became bigger than ever AFTER they went rock bottom (in terms of popularity). I can't think of many other bands which have done that.
Rod is a genius and I'm sure he knows that if he would follow the standard guidelines Maiden could surpass any other Metal band. But he's probably okay with that.

Well said. They don't need to do more promotion or be active when they're not on tour, that's the truth.

When i say they use the same stage form 25 years i dont complain. Its like their trademark the backdrops and decoration.

Trademark (and unique) is always cool, indeed.
dickinson1978 said:
Look how they got bigger since 99 reunion tour till now. And yes their albums are all maiden sound they could have changes but always sounding maiden

I think that's great and something to praise them for.

Definitely. Or a noticeable Powersalve theme (like a pyramid), which is a surprise.
Prowler said:
the green mist looks exactly like the Total Eclpise cover, but I hope it's not that.

Why not, but I really don't think they will play it, even though Bruce mentioned it as his favorite underrated song or something. Run To The Hills and Holy Smoke single covers also have green mist. Rime's tour art from 2008, who knows.
OutwardFeller said:
It really just seems that they are aiming the documentary release at the same time as announcing the North American leg of the tour tour, because they strictly do not need that buzz in Europe hence the 1st leg ticket sales. They will try to make it as big as they can in the US is my guess.

Good point.

I think this doesn't work with Eventim or with any hard copy tickets. I had two tickets for Berlin 2nd night, it's a historic amphitheatre you know. but the seats were from the back. When I saw these new tickets I bought two new from the front. Now I have to sell my old tickets I guess. But they are paper tickets, posted to my address. If anyone interested, they are "not that back", block K5, row 9, seats 4-5. and I'll be there at the first night, so if you're going to the first night I can give them myself.

The info I posted was for Ticketmaster UK and my ticket was a mobile one. Not sure how it works in other countries and with other ticket agencies.. At least here in the UK it was pretty straight forward.
