Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Spaldy]

Just my guess, but everything indicates they're not doing that good. Hopefully I'm wrong

I'd be amazed if a band the size of Maiden only managed 30k for a huge outdoor summer show. Even at worst case scenario they'll likely do double that.

I'm a little surprised that Bruce, who seems to enjoy taking photos with fans at other events, has never offered a limited number of slots fans can purchase at an Iron Maiden show.

I've wondered about that myself. It would be an easy way to make additional money.
I think the fans would be fine with just Bruce, not the whole band. At first I thought that was the reason, but it's not really a very convincing explanation.

To be fair, they never did these kinds of numbers in the past, so it wouldn't be too weird to see a 30k result. But yeah, if it's selling poorly for real then they would sell at least 35/40k.

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.

 

[Xacal2009]

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

It seems to be very likely. I think the same.

 

[GhostofCain]

Out of curiosity, what will be Bruce doing in Pittsburgh on 5th December?

 

[DorotheaMe]

Take photos with fans, of course. At the comic convention.
He only doesn't like that if it would be at an Iron Maiden show.

Thanks!

$100 for an autograph?? $125 for a photo?? The poor guy must be short of cash!

 

[Robert.M.]

I keep saying that they need money. Everything fits, doesn't it?
He does these photo shoots after a long tour instead of going on holiday or relaxing at home.

 

[el diablo]

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.

 

[edward creighton]

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.
