News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Robert.M.]

It's just such an odd itinerary. 2/3rd's of the dates are on/near the East Coast, with the only "southern" date being in Texas. No Southwest. No West Coast except for Los Angeles. No Florida! No Vegas! Unless they're planning a second leg: it's weird.

I can't complain, we get a Chicago date and I'm very excited, but it is weird.

The East Coast is closer to Europe.

Guess I will going to Charlotte again. Nice that it's on a Saturday. Megadeth is a nice bonus. Not sure why they avoid Atlanta so much. It's a huge travel hub. Surprised this run is so short and there's no Florida date.

Charlotte for me as well. Not sure how I feel about the venue

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

So, double shows in Toronto, Harrison and Los Angeles.
Possibly in Mexico too.

After all, it's a big tour.

I saw them there for TBOS tour. It's not bad, typical amphitheater.

In before they pull a Rush and announce a shitload of additional dates 1 month later.

Charlotte is Southern. But nothing is worse than the Dance of Death "US Tour". Only NY and LA. I remember letting them know how I felt about that on their official forum and I got a warning from a Mod, lol.

This one is actually pretty identical to their route for AMOLAD, plus an extra date for Texas.

Sadly, I think those hoping for more dates will be disappointed.

I think this kinda shows how IM tours could look like in 2028 and beyond. 25 dates. 10 in Europe, 10 in US and 5 in SA. 2 months and a half.

Considering what Adrian said in Infinite Dreams interview from Berlin, I think they decided to seriously cut down the touring after 2027.

I don't think the US leg would've been this short if it wasn't for all the expenses an European band need to cover.
Also, we're talking about 12 dates, with 3 more shows coming. Not that less compared to Europe.

I bet they will do a bigger leg than usual in SA.

 

[Ironalice]

Judging by how they are favoring a more condensed tour, playing larger venues I wonder how this will impact a possible Australian / NZ / Asia leg. based on the pattern I can't see Australia/NZ getting 8 shows like last year for example. Perhaps it will just be a couple of stadiums or it's going to be skipped.

I will also have to go to Charlotte, again.... I do not like their shows in outdoor venues... I can't believe Florida, again is skipped. We always sold out shows and the energy was always great. Not knocking NC but this means traveling again... May consider San Antonio show instead. We get both Megadeth and Anthrax at that one plus it's indoors.

 

[Ironalice]

I think it's completely safe to assume there will be no other cities added. Any additional shows will be second nights in same cities if this is what is planned with a few obvious gaps.

 

[DorotheaMe]

I don't think it is about shorter tours in general. They want to focus on Europe more.

Additional cities, there will be disappointment. An additional date to the existing cities? I can see that.

Yeah, outdoor shows can be awesome of course but, not always ideal for sound

I see you know it but mexico 2 oct 2026

 

[jmutil]

Anthrax will get everyone going with the pits, perfect opener

I was going to say thay in north america megadeth and anthrax as openers are a super special guest

it made me sad for the last tour. I always wanted to be indoors for when the Bladerunner theme started and it all went dark... The scenic backdrop and lighting rig were close to 1986 and it would have looked, and yes, sounded better indoors. Shame. I was too happy though finally getting to hear my favorite Maiden song of all time.... This current tour, I'll walk out after the mid section of the set list. Don't need to hear those at the end again.

They always sound better indoors.
