Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[TheAncientMariner666]

And let's not forget Dave Shack is a Leeds lad...

 

[Ancient Marinator]

Haha imagine announcing a special UK show a year in advance and then only putting 50 tickets on sale

 

[UpTheIrons]

'Special Headline Show' for the UK without further details is very intriguing. The dates line-up with the Hyde Park concert weekends, which is a shame because these day festivals kind of suck in my opinion, terrible sound and repulsive tiered ticketing practices. Seems like the most likely outcome or failing that some other kind of day festival arrangement in a park somewhere, if so at least they may hopefully bring a stacked lineup.

EDIT: Thankfully Hyde Park is booked that day

 

[Diplomat]

Remember that Ljubljana date (first date of 2023 tour) was added later.

 

[damage_case]

Could very well be.

Can't imagine that this UK will be the last UK/EU show ever. If Maiden were to put an end to their career, whether it was the end of the band or 'just' the end of touring, they would make it a standalone tour that would be entirely dedicated to the farewell and celebrate it.

 

[Iron Lurker]

looks like Fall 2026 for US dates again, a full year away, sigh.

 

[Vaenyr]

I don't see this being the last tour. I'm confident we'll get a new album afterwards.

 

[srfc]

Ah, ok.

Then, could be Knebworth.

I did sonisphere at Knebworth, piss poor organisation after the gig, so hope not

What happened? I did Sonisphere UK in 2010 and in 2014 and everything went swimmingly.

 

[Trevoire]

Yeah no touring in 2027 means a new album for sure.

Telling folks in advance that they're going to film the Paris show and have a phone free floor is a good strategy.

One thing is for sure... It most likely isn't the Tottenham Hotspur stadium...

The setup at Sonisphere in 2014 was superior to any of the Download fests I have attended, it was a great festival.

Hear, hear!

 

[Ledges Bitten In Dust]

So if I relised correctly:
-possible more European dates in 2026
-possibly one of the last tours
-live album and a video of the tour in 2026
-no touring in 2027, so possibly new album in 2027

 

[Poto]

Could be they don’t have any plans at all.

 

[matic22]

They have a plan to not play any gigs.

 

[Patrick92]

Good times imo. It was a great tour this year, and we are gonna get that Infinite Dreams book and the documentary. A new tour again next year again, a big one. They are gonna film a show, and then in 27 they gotta be recording a new album. Also Bruce is probably gonna do a big tour in 27 then, with his new album

 

[snarf]

As someone just south of London, why do I have the distinct feeling that the UK show is gonna wind up being more awkward for me to get to than just hopping up and on the Eurostar?

 

[srfc]

What happened? I did Sonisphere UK in 2010 and in 2014 and everything went swimmingly.

Basically a 45 minute walk to the train station, where there weren't any trains running, so we had to get a cab back to Luton

 

[matic22]

So, potential 2nd nights IMO are:

Athens, on May 24th.
Paris, on either June 21st or 23rd.

Paris is almost a given. They will have 2 shows there, so they can use songs from either night.
