Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[PieceofMind89]

TFP tour was really special. It’s hard to top that setlist!

That was a great setlist, but for me the best post 2000 tour setlist was from LOTB 2018-19.

I know it is disappointing for the American fans. However, it’s a big ass country and they are old.

None of the plans have anything to do with age. If anything, it's quite the opposite. No other band gets as much talk about age and retirement as Maiden. They don't deserve that based on their performance. So strange.

 

[dickinson1978]

No, it's just been discussed but there's nothing pointing in that direction. The contrary I would say.

Why?

TFP was definitely the best time i’ve seen them of the last few tours definitely

Announcing less US shows and probably more besides australia and japan I think. Maybe china or korea

Wacken is the big loser 2026. They don't have Maiden's anniversary show on their anniversary, although it is not true what many believed. (That Maiden would be on their way to the rest of the world shows on these dates.)

 

[dickinson1978]

I think of all the Maiden shows I have seen, the best setlists were either those for the Somewhere Back in Time tour in 2008 or the Legacy of the Beast tour in 2018.

And ed hunter tour

And ed hunter tour

That one was great too, albeit too short!

I'm glad the Charlotte date is at the Pavillion again. Wasn't crazy about the Spectrum Center last year.

What are some good sections to sit in? Or should I just say fuck it and go GA?

 

[el diablo]

Wow I live in New Jersey but I've never been to that arena in Harrison it's where a football (soccer) team plays but now I'm going to need to look up the seating charts. I could be wrong but I don't think Maiden have played there before they usually just hit the hockey / basketball arenas in Manhattan / Newark / Brooklyn etc.
p.s. - Yes I know they've played at the semi-outdoor ampitheater called Garden State Arts Center / PNC Bank Arts Center but that was back before they became very popular again.

Believe it or not, the lawn section is great. I've had seats there before and the lawn has a much better view. It's usually a party back there as well.

Also, we're talking about 12 dates, with 3 more shows coming.

What makes you think there are 3 more shows coming? In the US?

What didn't you like about the Spectrum? I had no issue with it other than it took forever and a day to leave the damned parking garage

I know that everyone is caught up on the NA tours but Copenhell have now scheduled Maiden for June 24:th, which means that Tons of Rock/Oslo will be on the 26:th (not yet scheduled publicly). So that concludes the France -> Denmark -> Norway -> back to France itinerary. Of course, there's still the question if they will do Hellfest on the 19:th (probably) and a second date for the Paris recording on the 21:st (highly doubt it).

Tons of Rock is on the 25th

The obvious gaps after Toronto, NJ and around LA look likely depending on sales those cities might see additional dates.

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

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.

The story of Adrian nearly being run over by a bus in Shanghai due to being jet lagged...

I agree, the plan must surely now be how to tour profitably and healthily as they approach 70.

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

That was a great setlist, but for me the best post 2000 tour setlist was from LOTB 2018-19.

I'd agree. For sentimental reasons for me with SIT being my favorite record I'll give the nod to TFP, but LotB's original iteration was a perfectly balanced set.

Maybe it was just the section I was in but the seats were tiny. The guy beside me was spilling over into my seat. Still loved the show, of course.

 

[cyanopsis]

Tons of Rock is on the 25th

You know this? Then they'll do two different countries (although close) with no time in between.
