Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

To date total LA and NJ sales seem stronger than San Antonio.

Yes and no.
NJ is around 24k tickets per show, the first one is sold out but the 2nd hasn't sold anything (4k tickets at most, if you count the resale tickets).
LA is probably 20k each (less than the previous visit), but it's also the only show on the west coast.

Texas is a big market for Maiden, but definitely not their best, so 20/22k already sold for SA is nothing short of amazing.

Iron Maiden isn't a stadium-sized band in the States, and generally in North America. The better choice would be more arena/amphitheater dates as they used to do. To me, some disappointment is the result in Mexico City. I know there's a lot of time to show date, but generally, sales are extremely slow. After the phenomenal reaction to the 2025 European shows, that must be a little downhill for them. I'm wondering how they will be received in LATAM?

Does no one have any inside information about what might be behind this, or even why the European shows originally planned for 2027 (I think) were instead moved to before the Rest of the World Tour of 2026?

Megadeth and AC/DC just announced big LATAM tours a few weeks ago, and the people spent an amount of their money on expensive tickets. The band and the organizers need some time to restore the demand and fans' savings to buy a lot of tix once again. I believe they will announce LATAM dates in 2026, most probably in February or March.

No shows were planned for 2027. They just saw how succesful the first leg was and decided to do a small comeback for the money in 2026.

There is nothing weird about the lack of announcements, it's not even december. Last time Brazil was announced in December and Argentina was announced in April.

It's just an opinion, and looking at the seating map, my point of view is reasonable, nothing more.

Then you don't know how the 2022 and the 2024 maps looked like.
They've sold more than 31k tickets, almost half of the capacity, in less than a month. How that could be a disappointement?

Why do you know that 100 %? A lot of fans believed there would be a third European leg in 2027. The sales would have been as good or better then.

No I think they have planned this for a while. The announcement said Run For Your Lives World Tour 25-26 from day one. I did think it was suspicious they announced it like that, and with 2027 off it makes sense.
 
The only doubt i have is if they are going to play in athens alexander the great. I didnt know that they skipped athens during FP tour. They said many times that they will play that song and when they play it they dont go to athens? I think will be the same setlist but...
 
It'll sadly be the same setlist again. Though it would be easier than ever to add the song for one night, with the new stage show. Would be awesome hearing it with Simon, but that's just not Maiden's style.

Sadly, yes. Not the biggest fan of Alexander here, but the fact they're sticking to the same old formula this time it's really beyond comprension.
