News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Melony]

The financial aspect does indeed seem to be an important factor. For example, most bands play both Rock im Park and Rock am Ring, but it is entirely possible to negotiate playing only one of the festivals.
It's not the case that if one of these festivals fits in well with your schedule, that there is no other option but to play both.
Maiden obviously didn't want that.

Still no news on new tours, does this mean that they are only touring europe?

No, just wait a little. Now they promote visual book.

What about the European dates, are they done now. Are the Croatia or Slovenia dates that were speculated not happening now?

I don't believe they will play in Slovenia, I never believed that rumour. I don't know why NuCoast and Maiden are waiting with annoucement for Pula dates. Hopefully they will announce final EU dates next week.

I hope you are right about Pula, it would be a great setting for Maiden to play but i have to be honest i had presumed it wasn`t happening now.

There were also rumors about Nick Cave in Pula and Belgrade, both shows were announced few days ago. Maiden either fell through or they are waiting for some very strange reason.

Sting announcement also happened a week ago, but he is playing Zagreb instead of rumoured Pula gig.

Sweden Rock and Hellfest are on the way, just wait for original festival announcement dates. Pula? Is it strange they didn't announce Croatian shows with the other stadium ones in September?!

Looking at San Siro seating map, doesn't look like strong sales. Playing the stadium not using typical goal end configuration (playing across rather than down pitch), which I am guessing would make capacity lower, maybe 40000. Maiden Italy website says more than 20000 tickets sold, which seems low but those ticket prices are high!

On Def Leppard website they have 2 UK shows listed as sold out but on Ticketmaster still a couple of hundred tickets left at both venues. Sold Out not always mean that.

Looking forward to other tour announcements this side of Christmas.

I think no more European shows will be announced besides Sweden Rock & another festival maybe on June 19-20 maybe before the Paris show. Think the North & Latin American dates will arrive very soon…

Sweden Rock and Hellfest are on the way. French festival is announcing in December. I doubt Maiden will headline RiR, instead they will play their own shows in Brasil, after Colombia.

Yeah that sounds about right, hopefully Peru Costa Rica don’t get left out this time, maybe few less dates in the US and more in other countries

I doubt they will visit Oceania or Asia, it's too early since their last time. I hope for some 9 dates in Latin America during the October.

Springsteen's stage configuration for San Siro is same as for Maiden.

Of course the sales aren't strong. The prices for that gig are ridiculous. I could get a return TAP boarding pass from Venice and one standing ticket for Lisbon for the price of one standing ticket in Milan.

Yeah i think Coldplay & Muse might have used the same configuration too so it isn`t Maiden specific at the San Siro.

Total opposite for us, the higher Maiden ticket cost was easily offset by the massively higher flight cost from where we live to Lisbon over Milan Linate. As a result we are off to see Maiden in the San Siro so hopefully it will sell out by next June!

I think they 100% will. Next year will cover every territory.

Pula Arena events announcement for next season are little strange since new director is on the position. Also regular yearly MMA event was not held there as usual.

New director also was maybe trying to impress community how good he is in new position in recent interview but without completed contract with bands.
