Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Poto]

Could be the Knebworth worth support acts will be at some of the other shows in Europe. The way it's looking now Maiden need a boost for many of the shows to get even close to sell outs.

One good support should be ok.

It's probably more profitable for them to sell 10k tickets less but not share their cachet with anyone else (not in big parts, at least)

If the situation doesn't change, they'll add something. They have some dates to announce in the near future: LATAM, AUST/ASIA.

They will have a support, but there is a difference between booking Megadeth and booking let's say Epica or Stratovarius

I guess they'll announce Anthrax for LATAM, maybe in the rest of the world too.

 

[Runereader]

Definitely not, since they're announcing gigs in different periods

Look at the dates a little bit better mate, everything aligns except some festival dates and Amsterdam for Megadeth.

Belgium: Maiden in Antwerp, Megadeth at Graspop.
Italy: Maiden in Milan, Megadeth in Ferrara.
Netherlands: Megadeth is playing in Czech Republic on the same day.

Just because it's not the same exact day it doesn't mean they can play together. Be ready for disappointment once Trivium or someone like them gets announced.

Varying the setlist would help with that as well. One can dream…

I bet you cannot wait to hear how Aces High sounds live in 2026!

Aces High aside, I would have loved to have seen the show again. I just can’t justify the cost of a ticket for Knebworth. It’s a shame, as it is down the road from me.

Swap that and Wasted Years with Sanctuary/Running Free, then clairvoyant with die with your boots on

I think they will add some 10 - 12 dates for the 2026 leg, so that we will have between 47 - 50 dates including Japan and Australia. Apart from Hellfest there's a little chane they are announcing something more this year.

I wonder if they’ll add another Harrison date even though the PA show is selling shit

 

[jmutil]

I think we’ll get hellfest, another NJ show, then 20 shows across LATAM Australia Asia.

Europe - 22
North America - 15
Latin America - 10
Australia - 6
Asia - 4

This is just a speculation, nothing has been confirmed by the way

I hope we are right.
My prediction:
EU/UK: 22 shows
NAM: 15 shows
LATAM: 7 shows
AUSTR: 3 shows
ASIA: 3 shows
50 shows in 2026, 82 combined.

I think they'll play outdoors in Australia and big indoor arenas in Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore, mainly in November 2026. LATAM: Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador (maybe), Brazil (2 or 3 shows), Argentina, Chile - stadiums. An additional NJ show could be announced, and Hellfest should be the last addition to the European leg. Honestly, I can't understand why Iron Maiden didn't announce some West Coast gigs in NAM? Vancouver, Edmonton, Seattle, Denver, Vegas, and Atlanta seem to be the right places to attract people to amphitheaters and big arenas around, especially when Megadeth/Anthrax would be announced as special guests. I still hope they will announce 6 - 8 NAM dates to be booked for August. I understand now we have an AC/DC tour, but in January or February, Maiden would announce just a few dates. LATAM and Australasia should be announced next March, I guess.
