Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Ascendingthethrone]

I think of all the Maiden shows I have seen, the best setlists were either those for the Somewhere Back in Time tour in 2008 or the Legacy of the Beast tour in 2018.

It depends on what mood I’m in as to what set list I find the best. It is a toss up between Legacy and Furure Past. They were amazing.

Wacken is the big loser 2026. They don't have Maiden's anniversary show on their anniversary, although it is not true what many believed. (That Maiden would be on their way to the rest of the world shows on these dates.)

True. It wouldn't have been impossible at all, on the contrary, it would have been quite easy to organize the shows in a way that includes Wacken. The gap between July 11 and August 20 is quite long. A weird tour. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it, of course.

They are. Just because they're not playing it doesn't mean they can play shows in Europe.

 

[Poto]

You know this? Then they'll do two different countries (although close) with no time in between.

Yep, this was confirmed in a Podcast by the festivals press secretary.

Why august 20th? Isnt their show in NA starts on 29th aug?

They can still add Wacken and 7 or 8 european concerts between Knebworth and Wacken. After Wacken they have 1 month off.

No, it's just been discussed but there's nothing pointing in that direction. The contrary I would say.

Sorry yesterday i saw 2 dates at paris but there is only one on 22.

 

[dickinson1978]

Btw i found a bootleg(audio) from 2025 at arnhem or something like that and for me they sound almost like 2008 in most of the songs.there is times that you can see the difference betweem simon and nicko but the most diferent i think is on run to the hills the drums on the intro sound very hard

They don't need a month and a half to transfer to another continent. Their logistics should be better than that.

Yes, I agree. If they wanted to, they could.

The 2022 tour (similar in terms of schedule) also had 1 month off.
