News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I doubt they would sell out two nights. Even when they sell out an arena tour in the UK, that includes people who buy tickets for multiple nights and causal fans who come because the show is on their doorstep.

Two different shows might help. They have a greater capability to do that now with the screens.

People who go to multiple nights, especially on a whole UK leg, are a small percentage. This year they could've easily sell out 2 London Stadium.

They couldn’t sell out one night at London stadium in 2025, so not sure what your logic is for claiming they can sell out two nights in 2026.

Eles não conseguiram esgotar os ingressos para uma única noite no estádio de Londres em 2025, então não entendo sua lógica ao afirmar que podem esgotar os ingressos para duas noites em 2026.

There are some rumors the rest of the dates could be announced next year, but nothing credible.

If that is true, then something must not be completely finalised yet. Otherwise, this would only have disadvantages.
The ticket sale would also have a (then second) boost from the documentary coming out next year, if it had been started now and Christmas presents and travel planning for next year could take place considering the shows.
 
They’re probably going to announce the rest of the dates in December, all the other dates were announced 11 months in advance and Brucd will be in Pittsburgh on Dec 5, but we will see
 
I keep saying that they need money. Everything fits, doesn't it? :D
He does these photo shoots after a long tour instead of going on holiday or relaxing at home.
 
I’m too old to be star struck enough to pay for a photo with a famous person. It would just feel awkward.

Although back in 2000 I bought a copy of Geddy Lee’s solo album My Favorite Headache for a signing/ photo event.

Yup that is why they should release it around this month or next maximum. The previous tour dates were announced in October and no news since then. Probably this is the worst planned tour.
 
Maiden did 115k in UK this year, almost 70k London. Would be surprised if Knebworth does less than 60k.

Rest of world dates not to November 2026, I would rather they announce now but not sure announcing in February makes a big difference to sales if someone lives in Melbourne.

As far as I know Maiden actually pay their support bands. But someone like The Hu will be much cheaper to book than a bigger band that would actually make the lineup stronger and help to shift tickets.

I don't think it's anything to do with cheapness. They're looking after bands that have toured with them before, and I view booking The Darkness is Steve showing there's no hard feelings over the British Lion covid fiasco.

The one thing about all this, and it's especially pronounced on the Maiden forum, I always thought the old Henry Rollins routine about Maiden fans being a bunch of cunts was a bit ott, but not anymore. People literally posting umpteen posts frothing at the mouth because one band they don't like is on the bill.

What are you talking about? The show officialy sold out in less than 2 weeks, then it was all production holds and stuff like that for months (and it was all gone way before the show anyway).

Which band is the one they hate the most? The Darkness?

I do think the line-up is weak for the type of event Maiden are trying to create (and to attract a massive audience when playing the same show they have already toured in 2025), but I would gladly go and see all bands on the bill if they played locally (I have seen The Darkness live three times).

I have always been disappointed with the rude/disrespectful attitude some Maiden fans have with support bands. If you do not like them, you can always stay at the bar a bit longer (that is what I have done in the past when I was doing multiple gigs per tour and did not feel the need to see the same support band more than once) and if you go and see them, at least be polite. Who knows? You might even enjoy them!

The Darkness,

I do not understand the hate. They are a cracking live band.

I think there's an element of metal fans being terrified that there might be some normal people at the gig.

All this talk about the shows now is pointless; let's wait to see what happens with the announcements coming in the next two weeks or after the NEW Year.
