Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

They'll start in Lubljana.

Anthens, Stambul, Sofia, Belgrad, Hannover, Copenhell, Tons of Rock, Sweden Rock and maybe 2-3 more stadiums in DE and in the UK.
Inside info or speculation?

There seem to be rumours going that they will play Athens, Beograd and Sofia.
No, they will not start in Ljubljana. We don't have venue big enough, +25.000. They will probably play at Zagreb Arena, capacity 23.000
Eh, they opened the tour there two years ago. And Maiden like to open in a smaller venue. It could happen again.
 
Let's say inside info.
I just talked to my friend who also organizes concerts in Slovenia and Croatia, and now I already know who could be organizer, same one as in 2023. If they play at the end of may in Ljubljana maybe they could also play in july in Zagreb or maybe in Split at Poljud stadium, they played there in 2008.

Strong rumour about the Hellfest show too. I think UK and North Ireland too. Hope for some show in Romania. Probably some 15 - 18 shows in Europe since end of May 2026. Asia/Oceania next, and some 25 shows in North America. End of September and first weeks of October - South America dates. I think next year they will play some 53 - 58 dates around the world.

North America in july/august/september, than Asia/Oceania/South America would be more logical. In june and july there is winter in Oceania, spring is from september to november, summer is from december to february. You should check previous tours when Maiden plays in certain parts of Earth.

Maybe they will do some festivals in Oceania? I think they'll headline RiR for sure.
 
Strange that they will do Ljubljana again if the rumour is true... if the tour starts in Europe next year, my bet was on Zagreb ol Belgrade, since they were not there for 3+ years.

BTW, if they do only one stadium gig in the UK next year, they could go for Wembley. If they sell it out, they have successfully conquered the UK.

Me too. So the SA dates should be in September. Asia before it or after? NA to finish the tour? From late May/early June/early July to November. No time to record new album in the fall.
Maybe, that means the will play there in november 2026 when is almost summer in Australia, something like may in Europe.
It seems next year's leg will be like 2022, expected. After TFP, I think they would want to play in Asia/Australia with a Hits tour. Let's hope it's not a 3rd leg, I don't think it will be.

All makes sense. Stadiums in the UK!
