Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Henndrik]

People are going to think somethings off the always will. But as you said its insane.

Everyone here seems to think that the FC forum users are all mates with the band and have exclusive insider knowledge or some shit.

Yeah, while some of it does turn out to be credible, most people there seem to think they have some insider info but don't really know more than the rest of us lol.

Because we, at Maidenfans, are Diet Coke or non-alcoholic beer whereas the Official FC is the real deal. They are the nobles and we're the peasants. Or something.

To be honest, the only reasons I am extending my FC membership in the third or fourth year yet is: Since I'm collecting Tshirts from the official store the 10% discount does pay off, and also for the sake of FTTB. The forum and all the discussions are a complete waste of time, really. Completely boring, in big parts even ridiculous, and I enjoy THIS place here a lot more.

Btw, nothing wrong with none alcoholic beer... I enjoy Maiden shows so much more since I gave up drinking beer or any other alc half a decade ago. And First To The Barrier makes no sense with beer, because it would turn soon into some First To The Toilet or First To The Pee Tree or whatever you wanna call that project.

We don't see anything.
If anything, we see the results of a management which decided to organize a special show without spending the proper amount of money.

This.
Maiden management cheaping out as usual. All the stuff in the museum will be cool no doubt, but without a genuinely solid lineup it's all a bit of a waste.

The supporting bands are meant to extend the appeal and credibility of the event, make it a must see gig. Not just to fill time.

"X, Y, Z AND Maiden on the same day!? I've got to go to that!"

^NO ONE is filling in that sentence with The Darkness, The Hu or The Almighty.

Judas Priest
Lamb of God
Megadeth
Anthrax
Killswitch Engage
In Flames
Architects
Avenged Sevenfold
Trivium

Download main stage bands is what they should have booked. Instead their biggest draw (Darkness/Airborne) don't even headline second stage.

They went for a commercial hard rock bill with Airbourne and Darkness. What you listed are several actual metal bands, traditional and modern, and that’s what missing from the bill …

Megadeth with Maiden in Australia for late 2026 (as per the rumour above) would seal that deal for me, for example.
