Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Honestly, Rime and Seventh Son will not be replaced, no way. IF they replace anything, it could be Clairvoyant with Evil or something like that. Maybe they could replace 2 mins. They won't replace the centerpieces of the set. Performance wise, I'd replace Aces/Hallowed but that's not gonna happen. So, overall if they change anything, the options are 2 mins and Clairvoyant and that's all. Personally, I wouldn't swap the Clairvoyant. I'd swap 2 mins with Revelations or Evil or even Still Life, Boots, Acacia, whatever.

So 90% of the entire Future Past tour was less succesful than Athens 2022?

If you play a 40k stadium (because the capacity was never going to be 70k anyway) and draw a crowd of 26k, the show sold poorly. Sad to say, but that's what it is. And I guees it came as a surprise for the band as well, since when they played their show in 2018 it was packed.

Most likely, as thanks heavens there will be no 3rd leg in 2027. Although it would in a way be amusing if they dropped a few classics and made way for rarer material. Give Europeans what they don't want (hits) and give americans what they don't want (deep cuts).

I mean, this has kinda happened before. The Final Frontier 2010 was primarily North America and it consisted of reunion era deep cuts. 2011 contained a lot more hits and barely touched USA.

The interesting thing is that the use of screens opens the door for setlist adjustments, but this feels like a perfectly formulated setlist for a North American audience. I could see some minor adjustments but overall I wouldn't put any money on different songs.
 
That's the perfect setlist for a North American audience, although even in Berlin people went to grab a beer at the quiet parts of Rime and SSOASS, which I found weird.

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?

I believe they would have done a pure Senjutsu tour in 2021-22, a SIT tour the next 2 years, and then the current RFYL tour.

I remember the quiet section in 2013 dampening the overall mood of the audience quite a bit in Oberhausen, Gemany back in 2013.
To be honest, I've never liked the quiet section in Rime, so hearing that live were some rather boring minutes.

That said, given the prices paid to attend such a concert I'd never willingly go and miss any song (or parts of a song) if not absolutely necessary. They could play a song I hated and I'd still stay there.
