There are further countries to be announced for the Run For Your Lives World Tour in the new year!

 

[Ironalice]

But cramming a monster Iron Maiden tour into one year and keeping the next year free of Iron Maiden tours just because Bruce wants to tour with his solo album? Doesn't sound plausible to me.

Who knows what's going on in their inner circle, but I get the feeling there are so many dates in 2026 because they don't want to commit to anything beyond then. For the first time their future is uncertain.

Sure, if they want to record a new album in 2027 before Bruce hits the road they could, but that's certainly not their plan with Steve being hesitant on making a new album to begin with.

 

[Kalata]

They must have plans for 2027 (recording new music?) for which they want to have enough time.
Otherwise, this huge tour in one year doesn't make sense to me. It can feel exhausting and frustrating to be on the road for so long, even if you actually enjoy touring.

Spot on for both. The big amount of dates are because of the break, right. Bruce's 1st leg of his solo tour was also 50 dates along with a Maiden tour. The 2026 leg was planned 2 years in advance. Perhaps from 2028, dates will be announced more slowly.

Rod: ''It was particularly important to all of us that this time we revisit as many countries as we can in Central and South America, so following our show in Mexico City, to be also returning to El Salvador, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru with this production is very exciting for us all, and a chance to say thank you to our dedicated fans there''.

Particularly important, hmmm.

I think this could be there last South American tour, bittersweet if true

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

Ehhhhhhh, I doubt that.

No, I think Sao Paulo and Santiago dates will be doubled.

 

[Ironalice]

No, I think Sao Paulo and Santiago dates will be doubled.

Sao Paulo will have 3 like last year according to local sources (sales depending ofc), Argentina will also get a second.

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

Sao Paulo will get 3 gigs, Buenos Aires 2 and Santiago 2 or 3 depending how the sales will go

In 2024, Sao Paulo had two but sold out in a very short time.

So, my South American sisters and brothers, who has the craziest crowds?

I wish to attend a South American Maiden gig for the first and probably last time in my life and I wish for a crazy crowd.

I reckon any gig/country will be premium level mayhem but any recommendations are appreciated.

Hard to beat Chile, this is wild

Who knows, Sao Paulo is the only city in Brazil where people might see the brand new show. I think 2 shows are assured, but the third shouldn't be a big surprise.

OK, maybe I'm a little bit biased, but I'm from Argentina and I've seen several international rock and metal acts and the crowd is always fucking wild. Some examples:

Maiden, of course

Eddie Vedder speaking about the crowd (with footage)

AC/DC. The video speaks for itself

Limp Bizkit, last year. I was there and It was absolutely nuts

I'm Brazilian and I'd say overall Argentina, but Chile specifically for Maiden seems a little crazier, they're very big there.

Chile, Argentina and Peru, in that order.

Lima will probably be the cheapest to travel to out of the three. Also, Peru is in the top 10 cuisines in the world

Yeah imo Chile has taken over as the premier place to see Maiden in South America, the support level is massive, they could play that stadium 5 times and likely sell all of them lol
