News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[DorotheaMe]

Well, if we compare it with the latest strategy and not with the state of the world 15 to 20 years ago, it is a deviation.
They did not announce the dates 11 months in advance again this time.

 

[Ironalice]

Either that or there wont be any ROW tour.

They wouldn't have said ROW dates will be released in the new year if they didn't plan on actually doing it.

Australia, NZ and Japan are not territories they could pull of stadiums, so there is plenty of time to sell arenas for those countries.

I'm waiting for an announcement to see the size of the venues they've hired.

 

[Nomadd]

I haven't been reading every post. What dates are you waiting on and of those dates which shows do you plan/hope to attend?

Germany and Slovakia.

 

[Iron Lurker]

Germany and Slovakia.

Those dates are set and my guess is you are going/hoping to go to those shows. My question was what other dates are you waiting for them to announce? Why would you care if you are going to Germany and Slovakia? Why do you find that annoying?

It's the bigger problem. I'm a fan for a long, long time, and I would like to know all dates of the current tour, especially if they said they are going to announce those this year. The other thing is the documentary. Last March, they announced their plans, and a year later, we know nothing reliable about this, apart from the promises from the year before. The sound of (this) silence is too loud to my ears!

And what is your conclusions from that silence? I didn't really follow this thread, so I have not a profound idea of what's up. If you don't mind, you might wanna give me a short update about what's going on.

 

[Trevoire]

Yeah I am finding the band to be frustratingly quiet right now. They've not really mentioned anything since mid December. There's not really anything to be hyped about.

Stranger Things, Smith/Kotzen and trying to get people to buy Knebworth tickets. That's all we've had.

Documentary? Nothing.
TFPT Live recordings? Nothing.
Future plans? Nothing.

Exactly, maybe something went wrong with relations between musicians? I can't find this kind of silence comfortable.

 

[Dick Brucinson]

I remember the silence back in 2014/15 when it turned out later Bruce was suffering from cancer. I hope everything is alright with everybody in the band.

 

[edward creighton]

Rest of world concerts won't start until November, almost 9 months away, no reason to panic! Tour may not finish until December. Yes, as someone who lives in Thailand, would rather have an announcement now, but May or June is OK.

 

[Henndrik]

It is ok, but the question is why? In my opinion it has only disadvantages to wait.

They just have finished a part of the world tour. And they have booked another year.

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

2016 dates were announced in late september for May - 8 months.
2020 dates were announced in mid november for May - 6 months.
2024 dates were announced in mid october for September - 11 months.

So, 2024 aside, every other time in the last decade they announced Oceania dates 6 to 8 months earlier.
Can we stop saying something is off just because the management is doing what's been doing for more than 10 years?

You are right nothing seems off. It’s just mightily annoying because I want to plan my holidays or decide which Europe dates to attend instead if not!!

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

Documentary? Nothing.
TFPT Live recordings? Nothing.
Future plans? Nothing.

Documentary? 2026.
TFPT Live Recordings? Not happening.
Future plans? they're doing a tour in 2026 and taking a break from the road in 2027.

Maiden is the one band which is always active in a way or another and yet people complain about not having anything to wait just because they don't shitpost 24/24h.

I think the user above also has a point that you could see it as deviation.

I think if so many people perceive it as odd or annoying or even start to worry some members could be ill, it is a bit simple to claim they are all just too impatient or don’t get it.
We could also ask if that way to announce is really suitable if it causes all these reactions.

That is not the same as excepting Maiden to post irrelevant stuff on social media every day.

Or there is really something going on we don’t know about.

There is the 30 min bit from waken 2023 if you want future past stuff.

Adrian is touring,bruce recording and the others on holiday.

that always seems to be something glossed over a lot by people wanting more information every day. But I though Bruce was done recording the new album?

This is insane.
