Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

It remains to be seen if, when and where the documentary will be streamed. Don't think Netflix is eagerly waiting for Maiden's 300th documentary with a bunch of people talking about the band.

There are so many platforms. In 2015, the Scorpions released their own documentary movie, which was available on several major visual platforms. I think IM movie will be something in the way of Bon Jovi's one. Many short interviews with a bunch of live/private moments and some attractive computer graphics. If they do it in a modern way, the entire output might be divided into a few shorter episodes, making it more acceptable to some casual music fans. I think when they crossed their hands with Universal Pictures, all distribution things have been established for good. No one is screening something like that just to spend a lot of money; those kinds of documentaries are the promotional tools, in fact. Be optimistic, please!

So far, there isn't even a release date. So I guess it's way too early to talk about which platforms they will use, if they'll use any

I think the shows will mostly sell fine, but as a bitter US fan, I think it’s annoying how they went right back to doing a European tour after already doing one there this year. Part of me selfishly wants those shows to underperform.

I get it though, the US has the lamest, least enthusiastic fans in a live setting, so that’s perhaps why we got shafted with the tiny tour.

I think it basically go back to something simple as economy and logistics. Travel costs are way higher now than two-three years ago, but at least they are playing shows at bigger arenas and stadiums this time in North America.

And if they get out the documentary before the tour dates, and it is actually a good one as well, the band can pull some more casuals at the show. I’m pretty sure it worked well in the short run for Mötley Crüe, Queen and Elton John to release a movie to boost streams and ticket sales

But those were actual movies, with actors and everything. Far from what the documentary about Maiden is shaping up to be.

Exactly, just adventure movies based on sensational aspects, with actors and bombastic effects, where the music itself is behind the back door. The mainstream products are for commercially oriented casual listeners. I can't see Maiden in this company. And the trailers or release date they might announce any time now.
