Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

It comes back to the whole " its all about the kids" argument from Rod. With all respect fuck the kids. 70% of the fans and the ones who spend a lot of cash on Maiden are balding oldies with their jeans halfway down their crack like me. And most of us want to see legendary 70's and 80's bands

Dumb post. As someone who spends a lot cash on Maiden (although thankfully not bald yet), I'd much rather see support bands that aren't geriatric codgers performing along to backing tracks, which sums up most of the "legendary" 70s and 80s bands. And those are the ones who aren't dead yet.

And every time I see a Maiden show, which is every tour by the way, I reckon at least half the audience are under 40. If they only focused their efforts on the balding old men in arse crack denim jeans then they'd be back to performing in theaters and clubs like they were in the Blaze years.

Rod has the right idea. If you don't continue catering to the kids, the band dies.

I happen to disagree mate but fair enough. I go to tons of Maiden gigs myself and that's not what see but no point in arguing.

Btw I'm not balding or have my jeans down to the crack of my arse lol but I am middle aged
