Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation
- Thread starter Poto
- Start date
Why do you think that? The headliner is not always announced in the first wave of bands.
Guns N'Roses as the headliner 2025 was announced in December.
There are always various factors when the announcement comes, for example when the band itself wants to reveal their touring plans or a time when the ticket sales need to be pushed again, especially the Harder and Louder tickets with fewer perks.
So you believe they will only get the new tour (because this one is announced for 2025/26)?

I'm sure the booking of the venues for 2023 was already finished before the show in 2022 took place. So the lack of Athen in 2023 wasn't a consequence of poor ticket sales.
I know bands that know their tour plans two years in advance, or start booking venues that long in advance. Therefore, I believe that a band of the size of Maiden can look ahead several years and know what is planned for, say, 2028.
This whole COVID situation has certainly thrown a lot of things into disarray, and I've been wondering for a while what Maiden's tour schedule would have looked like without COVID. Would there have been a 'pure' Senjutsu tour (without) SIT in 2021/22? What would have happened between a Senjutsu/TFP tour and the anniversary tour?

why would you think it sold badly? from where i was it looked pretty full. Maybe not sold out, but definitely not a poor attendance show.

According to https://touringdata.org/2019/10/03/iron-maiden-legacy-of-the-beast-tour/ it sold 26.000 tickets which was an 87% capacity.
Better than Sofia, Wien, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucharest, Budapest, Belfast, Arnhem, Zurich and Berlin which were all at the same leg.

Hopefully not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

It'd be amazing if they added Alex as a one-off for Athens, but they're not that type of band unfortunately. Too set in their ways.
Bleh, now you're starting with those pesky facts!

Yes, it is not that big. If the rumour is true, I do not think it will be their only gig in Spain.

I hope they as a band or Bruce as an individual with some influence in it would not stoop that low but for sure it was odd and can`t have gone down well with the Greek fans.

I believe Bruce would stoop that low.
I've always liked how Metallica will just say "why don't we play jump in the fire tonight?" and add it to the setIt'd be amazing if they added Alex as a one-off for Athens, but they're not that type of band unfortunately. Too set in their ways.

If Bruce wanted "revenge" on the Greek fans he would have not played there on his solo tour and not played a good bit of ATG for the fans at the show. I think it's just an unfortunate coincidence. Maybe there was no suitable date/place/availability to fit in Greece for that tour? I know there was originally supposed to be an Atlanta (my hometown) date for TFP tour but it was changed to Charlotte. Their social media even fucked up and put on Facebook a poster showing an Atlanta date (and no date for Charlotte) AFTER tickets went on sale for Charlotte. That caused some confusion.
