News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Its ridiculous man, maiden should just announce already their dates. Its difficult for people to plan their trips especially if they are not from that particular country or region if they announce the tour closer to the actual dates.

There is always a reason the most of us will never know or understand. But I have always trusted maiden that its good reason.

I checked Wikipedia

Coldplay and Madonna have had higher attendances on the same visit in 2022 and 2008 than Maiden in 2024. Plus some artists from Puerto Rico and Colombia.

Man, those ones are pop/dance acts not even hard rock.

Completely different audiences in terms of scale and popularity. We can compare IM attendances with those of other hard rock/metal acts, but not with pop megastars like Coldplay or Ed Sheeran. It's obvious.

Fair enough, although the original question was about international acts.

If we focus on rock, can we compare them to the attendances achieved by local rock bands like Los Prisioneros and Los Bunkers?

If we focus on international rock bands, can we compare them to Metallica or System of a Down?

Maiden and Metallica are definitely neck and neck in ticket sales, Maiden sold more tickets than Metallica last year alone. SOAD will always sell out in seconds since they rarely play shows

Yeah it's all over for Maiden. If they can't sell as many tickets as Taylor Swift then what even is the point? Rod clearly doesn't understand the touring business.

Maybe not quite, but Maiden has closed the ticket sale gap with Metallica really well, I guess in most places except USA. Some markets Maiden may be neck and neck or even better.

Total turnaround from the late 90s when Metallica towered over Maiden’s ticket sales.

I dont see any market where Maiden is selling more tickets. Metallica is doing mostly stadium and open air shows last few years.

OK, but Iron Maiden are playing more concerts (generally), and you must realize Metallica doubled the shows with 80% the same people in the audience both nights! This could be called a monopolization strategy in the concert markets (money-grabbing anyway). The final results are fewer shows, more big venues, and more people, just because of their strategy to sell two shows at the same stadium(s) to the same people and even give them "free CDs".
