Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[edward creighton]

September is hopefully the lucky month when many of the 2026 tour dates are announced. Seems most on forum agreed on about 60 gigs, the America's to get at least half, Europe 16 ish, Australasia and Japan up to 10.

Will it be Australasia Japan, Europe, short break, America's?

I get holiday about 20 June as I work in Bangkok, will be heading to Europe, hope Maiden playing somewhere. A May start in Australia may work if they play a Saturday somewhere.

Can't wait for announcement.

I hope for circa 60 dates to be announced, but I doubt they will visit Australasia this time. The break from the last touring that area iz too short. I predict 20 - 22 shows in EU/UK, 30+ shows in North America and circa 8 shows in South. I'm wonder when they are going to announce the documentary, probably the cinematic premiere is planning for November I recon.

There is rumoured double date in Paris again.

Interesting. There are enough different festivals and stadiums in Europe (expected again for the 2nd leg, this is their biggest tour), so could this mean some changes to the set (if they don't do a 3rd leg)? Hope so.

Paris is likely for live recording.

Why do you think so? What about the SA shows?

I don't think they will play shows in Paris again, Hellfest is the most likely. North America will see some 30 dates similar to 2019 tour. I think they are going to spoil documentary premiere with NA ticket sales.

They will likely announce Europe and Australia first then a you will see North and South America a few weeks later, which will trigger everyone in the comment section crying WHERE IS THE USA THEY ALREADY DID Europe ahaha.

I think logically there will be a few weeks break between, no way Maiden do 60 shows straight.

I think we'll see something like this:

End of May to early July: Europe
July to August: Asia/Oceania
September/October: North and South America

If so, NA would be 15 - 20 dates summary.

I don't think Europe is going to be that extensive where they need near 6 weeks, especially if its going to be less than 20 dates

The North/South American run will take way longer than 2 months, it will be over 30 dates between the 2

Rumours point to shows in Europe in late May and early July, so probably around 20 shows then.

It will be interesting how they fit in the Australian portion either way you look at it that is such a long haul flight, usually they add it with the NA run as it's just a 12 hour direct flight to LA justifying the travel.

But they could start in Australia early May then into Europe if they wanted too.
