News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[dickinson1978]

What type of stadiums though? MLB? MLS? or NFL? I think NFL stadiums are out of the question because they're 65k+.

I think MLS or MLB stadiums would be more realistic since they're not as huge.

I think in the states they will play indoor pavilions. I ll be happy if i see them playing a big NFL stadium but i see them playing arenas as usual. Have they played before any Nfl stadium? In the 80s? There the arenas are big too. Everything is big LOL

Acho que nos Estados Unidos eles jogam em pavilhões fechados. Ficarei feliz se virmos jogar em um grande estádio da NFL, mas nos veremos jogando em arenas, como sempre. Eles já jogaram em algum estádio da NFL antes? Nos anos 80? Lá, as arenas também são grandes. Tudo é grande, rsrs.

Quando a etapa europeia terminou com estádios lotados, pensei que eles tinham chegado a outro nível e poderiam arriscar tocar em alguns estádios americanos.

Mas agora, com a baixa venda de ingressos, não acredito mais que isso vá acontecer, provavelmente será mais do mesmo, os mesmos lugares de sempre onde Ghost e Volbeat já tocam.

Feel free to speculate on what that would be. I mean, there's no "Nicko's not doing well" to bring to the table and Bruce certainly has all the energy he needs nowadays. Of course, an update regarding other band members' health status would always come out of the blue if there weren't rumors already. I think this is nothing else than a scheduled release of news regarding tour legs, festival date TBA's, books, documentaries and individual band members' solo tours.

My speculation is that at least some things were originally planned differently but are being modified now relatively late in the process—for reasons I don't know, perhaps at the request of the members, for other reasons, I have no clue.
That is why everything is taking longer than usual.

Makes sense to finish European announcements hopefully by end of October. NA tour not start to late July, plenty of time to announce before Thanksgiving.

Maiden could play BMO stadium in LA, concert capacity 24000. Not sure about similar sized venue in New York. Arenas again, SA imagine stadiums.

Japan, Asia, NZ and Australia imagine maximum of 10 shows.

I think they played the old Comiskey Park here in Chicago as part of Chicagofest (or whatever it was called) in 82 - but that's a baseball stadium.

 

[edward creighton]

Tinley Park amphitheater in Chicago holds 28000, lots of large venues like that in North America, no need to play stadiums. Saw Def Leppard at Tinley, fantastic evening.

I do not think they will play NA/Mexico Or Canada in July because of the world cup next year. Most likey NA will be Sept, Oct or Nov. Hoping that Australia, Asia or Japan will be in Sept

But what about the second half of July and August, I don't think they will make a long gap between the EU and the rest of the world.

World Cup finishes July 13, sure Maiden can start end July in NA.

Rush is touring NA since the end of June, Maiden easily can book NA dates since 16 July 'til first week of September. All depends on the fact if they're going to headline RiR next year. I hope they are, it's a kind of tradition.

Rush are only playing 3 US cities.
In saying that in the US this is a non factor having a major sports event won't impact concert bookings, quite often you have situations where multiple events happen at the same time in a city on any given night.

Unless Steve rather be at home to watch it before starting the next leg

Just saw the FB post from sweden rock, guessing announcement is tomorrow

 

[Runereader]

Sweden rock was just announced. Waiting for maiden, they will either announce one or two shows besides Sweden or they'll say that's all folks.

Yup maiden is part of it, hopefully they will announce rest of their tour soon.

It was obvious, I'm just saying that maiden didn't post anything yet. If there are any EU shows besides Sweden, they will be announced today.

They (for sure) will announce something between 17 and 22 June. If they don't announce Croatia show(s) 'til the end of October, there won't be a chance to see them in the Balkans next year.

20th and 21st are out due to recording IMO. They won't rush to Paris and then record an one-shot gig, unless it's an additional night on 21st in Paris.

There could be something on 18th or 19th, tho, if 2nd Paris night won't happen.

If I had to bet, it's another gig on 18th and/or additional Paris show on 21st.

but you will see them in the Balkans. Unless Greece moved and I somehow missed it.

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden will perform at Sweden Rock on the Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026! June 3rd – 6th Solvesborg, Sweden Rock Festival – SWEDEN Tickets go on sale Oct 24th at 10am CEST #IronMaiden...

www.facebook.com

Maiden just posted about Sweden Rock. Nothing else mentioned.

 

[Nomadd]

I think they'll headline Hellfest, which is basically sold out for months. Only day tickets will be on sale (circa 5k), 4-days main ticket pool is sold out, so Hellfest is a safe bet imho. I mentioned Croatia 'cos there were a lot of talks about. If they play the Balkans, it would be the beginning of the whole leg.
