Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Vaenyr]

When did they announce a tour with the time span in the title before this one?

They've announced tours mentioning the first leg's year, and then ended up adding further legs down the line.
While it is technically correct that they went out of their way to specify "2025-2026", that alone isn't enough to break their previous pattern of extending tours by additional legs.

And I'll repeat, I don't make an argument about whether they go down that route or if it's even realistic or not. For me it's about the principle of never being 100% certain with Maiden's future plans, since they like to throw curveballs. I'd never say a certain business move is 100% guaranteed, since there's always the possibility of them changing their minds.

It's like saying in 2013 that the History Part 4 dvd is a certainty, because it got teased at the end of Maiden England, yet we all know how that project ended up being cancelled.

that alone isn't enough to break their previous pattern of extending tours by additional legs.

As I can recall now, the only times (in recent years) they did that was Maiden England and Legacy of the Beast (altough the latter probably had the 3rd leg confirmed from the beginning).

And again, the years in the title are just part of the reason why they won't be doing another leg in 2027. The main reason is that they're squeezing Europe next year instead of waiting for 2027.
