News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Blood On The World´s Hand]

I wish they had the sense to cut out the "first nine albums" bs. Also let out a mirthless chuckle about Bruce´s comment "...some songs we haven´t played for over 20 years!". Yes, umm, exactly one song mate. Not in plural.

What is the source of the theory about Japan?

Nothing other than in the fan club with those "in the know" saying there is "strong ties" to Japan and Australia in November

Anyone have the presale codes for the Tuesday or Wednesday presales? I’ll usually get at least a Ticketmaster or Live Nation code in my email, but nothing so far this time around.

EDIT: The generic Wednesday presale codes that shouldn’t get anyone’s dander up are apparently:

Live Nation: “GUITAR”
Ticketmaster: “SOLO”

Won’t know if these work until Wednesday at 10am CDT.

[Austrogoth]

Murders and Killers

Murders and Killers

It had not been more than 20 years since Murders in the rue Morgue was last played live.

Agreed. I find the press releases that accompany the announcement of new live dates fairly ridiculous.

2005 - 2025?

 

[GhostofCain]

2005 - 2025?

Last played in 2005 in September (August if we just focus on the North American dates); next played in May 2025. Therefore, not over 20 years as claimed by Bruce (although Rod is the one who comes up with those quotes).

 

[WickerMan03]

No one knows for sure until the band confirms it themselves, but I have a valid guess. I imagine they will expand the european dates to the end July like they did in 2022, before heading towards US and Canada in September. And then further to Lantin Amarica through October

I think they want the Knebworth gig to be the grand finale of the European leg of the tour.

Has he ever told you about his time machine though?

 

[Ancient Marinator]

I think it might be someone like Anthrax, or possibly one of the Knebworth support acts. If sales slow down they will want a good band to give them a boost.

Anthrax being confirmed to play Tons of Rock on the same day as Maiden next year makes me wonder if actually Anthrax could be the support.

They are not going to expand anything in europe, its gonna be a break till NA, SA, Asia and Ocenia

 

[FeelLikeIveForumedBefore]

Welp, as usual, buying tickets through ticketmaster was frustrating. Nailed some okay tickets in Section 1 for Charlotte. Couldnt justify the Section 2 seat prices since they were packaged with the VIP bundle.

Pre-sale pit was sadly sold out by the time I got in there, 4 minutes into the sale being open

 

[MrK]

Got pit tickets for Chicago. There were only 68 people ahead of me in the queue, but I made sure to join the waiting room exactly when it opened.

Overall, inflation has hit Maiden, but I'm glad that there are no outrageous ticket costs for Chicago barring front rows and VIP packages. Other than that, there isn't a single ticket over $200 in Chicago.

Trooper VIP is around $540 which is insane lol

Oh yeah, but that's for dumb trust fund kids and boomers anyway. It's a complete rip-off.
