News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

Honestly, I'm surprised that Maiden have sold out all the seats in Tinley. I don't think they've ever done that so quickly before.

The pavilion is already sold out. 11k reserved seats (plus whatever's allocated to the pit) are gone. All that's been left are the cheap 'seats' out on the lawn.

Man, I would love to see Maiden in such small venues again. Here in Europe it's usually about capacities of 30.000 to 50.000. I miss the times when it all was a bit smaller. I should go over to see them in the USA.

I don't think it was? I know I bought my pair much more in advance than my Legacy show (probably around springtime), but there were a decent amount of still blue dots on the seat map rather than all red like what we've got for the Run For Your Lives show.

I don't have the numbers under my nose but I seem to remember it was fast and possibly their best turnout for that venue
 
I obviously don't have any "sources close to the band" but this seems like just another spin of the old "Dave is tired of touring and wants to see his grandchildren grow up" rumour.

I don't doubt that he misses them while on tour, but it's not like he's away for 10 months a year or so. Sounds like someone has, again, just put too much emphasis on some random quote by Dave about the challenges of touring, as fun as it also is. I guess so, anyway.

Dave's stage presence was full of radiant joy (even in Dave standards!) last year and the band wouldn't be touring like this if they, Dave included, didn't want them to.

Sure, he won't do it forever and this might be their last tour, but all these "Dave reportedly unhappy with this and that" news are, in my honest opinion, milked to death already.

I hope so.
 
Dave was sounding more uinspired and bored before the pandemic. From 2022 onwards he seemed much more focused in his playing. I thought his performances in 2023 were stellar. It's possible he was losing interest in touring 7-8 years ago.

Could be a reason why they are not releasing ROW dates or not. Only time will tell.

In 2017 they sold 14,405 tickets, and in 2019 14,662.
I don’t know how fast sales were from the start, but they ended up with roughly the same both times. They will beat those numbers this year.

The Rock in Rio shows were obviously bigger but those were festivals, not Maiden shows.
Knebworth is the largest undertaking they've taken for a single show, if I'm not mistaken.
