Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Kalata]

I was wrong. Safe to say there won't be a third show in Sao Paulo.

When was the last time Maiden played 3 same dates in a row, back in the 80s, right. So I doubt it was in their plans.

People seem not to be so enthusiastic about this tour. As I said, the band and Rod overestimated the demand, which is a little shame. And once again, not using documentary to promote the forthcoming tour was an extremely BAD PR move. And - once again, as I used to - blame management once again.

But the prices are higher, and people spent a fortune on GNR and AC/DC shows a little earlier. Just look at the other dates. Only 14 - 20 from some 50 are sold well, the rest of them are poor or so, so. It's not a good omen, and once again, due to a bad marketing strategy.

Let's wait, there's enough time. And how they have overestimated the demand after probably their best tour this year?

I don't know why anybody thinks the documentary will have an impact on ticket sales.

I guess it will create some hype. It should be released in the first half of next year, but they could wait after the tour as well, I wouldn't be surprised. There is a reason for the delay.

WE'll see. Probably, people will buy more tickets closer to the show day (especially in NA). And yes, even a documentary about a career creates some hype and makes people focus on the band. They announced it, will be released by Universal Pictures. I think we will see the movie next year. This year was about the visual book, big shows in Europe, many other releases, including merch, and so. 2026 is about a worldwide tour and the documentary as the main enterprise/release.

So why did they announce the documentary at all? They did it that many times, even in the last interviews, tour announcements, and on the official site (including in the band's bio section). They had spent a considerable amount of money on production, invited special guests, and hired professionals to produce it, but ultimately did not release it due to lost time and a significant amount of money. I don't think so.

I've heard rumors of Steve not being happy with how it turned out, hence why the postponement to 2026.
The fact there is a big distributor and producer behind it means they can't flop with that one, so if they know it's not gonna be interesting for 90% of the audience they're probably not releasing it at all.

It wouldn't be 3 dates in a row. 25, 27 and 28. The fact the 2nd show is happening two days later is the confirmation a third show was planned, but there still is every section available (even discounted) for the 2nd show.

I think they originally planned 3 shows in São Paulo, but most people are out of money. A better decision would be to announce Brazil in February and even in March. Referring to the documentary, maybe they will change the formula and release the one later?
