Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

They (for sure) will announce something between 17 and 22 June. If they don't announce Croatia show(s) 'til the end of October, there won't be a chance to see them in the Balkans next year.

but you will see them in the Balkans. Unless Greece moved and I somehow missed it.

Maiden just posted about Sweden Rock. Nothing else mentioned.
 
I think they'll headline Hellfest, which is basically sold out for months. Only day tickets will be on sale (circa 5k), 4-days main ticket pool is sold out, so Hellfest is a safe bet imho. I mentioned Croatia 'cos there were a lot of talks about. If they play the Balkans, it would be the beginning of the whole leg.
 
If they don't play anywhere in the former Yugoslavia (Croatia, Slovenia or Serbia) on this tour, that's not excusable. They never played in Macedonia, Bosnia or Montenegro, so...
 
Pinkpop makes more sense, Amsterdam show was sold out quickly, they have two big gigs in France and they had two shows this year, adding a hellfest wouldn't help the sales of a Paris gig.

Agreed. It's shocking to see so many tickets available for the Paris and Lyon shows, especially the former given that they have announced it will be filmed!

@Poto Do you know if the shows from the 2026 leg of the tour are selling well compared to previous tours?
 
An above-average number of rumors and assumptions that do not seem to be true this time. Just coincidence
or this?

My speculation is that at least some things were originally planned differently but are being modified now relatively late in the process—for reasons I don't know, perhaps at the request of the members, for other reasons, I have no clue.
That is why everything is taking longer than usual.

Greece should do better than the previous visit. Also looks like the stadium shows in Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia will do well enough. I wouldn't expect sell outs, with the exception of potentially Bratislava. Then again I am sure they don’t need sell outs for those shows to be a success. For instance they had 14k in Romania the last time they went there, but in the arena.

Hannover should do well in the end, but the sales aren't exactly super quick.

As for France, they will do well to even get close to a sell out unless the sales pick up. I think they have overestimated the demand after playing to more than 100k there this summer.

Milan and Lisbon will be ok.

And I am super curious about Knebworth. If they can match the London numbers from this year I will be impressed and honestly surprised.

I think the places they are playing seem a bit random and over optimistic. But after this years phenomenal sales everything except a rapid sell out will almost seem like a disappointment.
 
Sales are nothing short of great. I don't know why people says otherwise. Well, maybe I do, and it's because last time everything sold out so quickly. But that was the first leg of a 50th anniversary tour after a year off in Europe. Now they're coming back not even a full year after their last EU gig with no changes to the setlist or a big support act. Of course the demand is way lower, but they're still managing to beat some of their previous records (look at Bratislava, Sofia, Lisbon, Milan or Bucharest).


I'm fairly sure people will buy tickets later and that most of these shows will sell out in the end.

Obviously!

Is it possible they've overestimated just how mindblowing this current show is hence people aren't rushing to go and watch it again?

I think it's a combination of things. Yes, it's part that given how it's a greatest hits set encompassing all of the 80s, but I think they're trying to grab as much money as they can before taking the entirety of 2027 off.
 
I want to point out that many of my friends, and I, are awaiting announcements for Croatia, Slovenia, or Serbia.

None of us intend to travel to Italy for the same setlist and pay €150 for a subpar experience.

You might have to wait until 2028 at least.
