News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I think the main reason why they're taking a break in 2027 is way simpler: they can't possibly play anywhere. I mean, they can, but the demand would be at his lowest ever. At this stage in their carreer they're not coming back to arenas, also because that would spoil the demand for 2028 as well.

Whatever they have in mind for 2028, is already in motion.
Here are the territories Maiden are visiting on RFYL:

Canada
USA
UK
EU
El Salvador
Costa Rica
Colombia
Ecuador
Peru
Argentina
Brazil
Chile
Japan
Australia
New Zealand

It is a great run and ticket demand will be sated in these places.

But everywhere in Asia except Japan isn't covered, and there's no Middle East... was hoping they might cover these places too given the demand that could be built in India, the Gulf, SE Asia etc. Maybe the promoter offers aren't there?
 
I was able to take a look at the newsletter. And it says that Steve personally selected the lineup for Friday at EddFest. I hope “TBA” is Blaze. I think that would be well deserved and logical.
It's good that they're not claiming that Steve selected the entire lineup.
I wouldn't want anyone to believe that I had anything to do with this weak lineup. :bigsmile:

The Baven Age?

It is not like the line-up on Friday is stellar! :lol:
 
Where exactly do you spot examples for this?
All of it is open to interpretation so you do you but these are the examples I can think of....

Steve sayin he's not sure about a new album. Not often we've heard that, I don't think. Might mean they won't do another one.

Taking 2027 off. A rare statement from them. A year off for people at their age could easily lead to one or 2 deciding they have had enough. Or could make them realise that they wanna go again.

The use of "no UK gig til at least 2028." Could easily mean that they will definitely play the UK again but not til 2028 or after. Or maybe no decision has been made and that leaves the door open to retirement after this tour, depending on how people feel.

Although as Shadow says, if they have plans for 2028 then they are already in motion. Or maybe there will be no plans made until after this tour when people have made a decision about what happens next.

Anyway, that was boring to write and no doubt boring to read, point is that I see enough slightly unusual things lately to make me think that something slightly unusual might happen. Which could be retirement. Maybe.

Terry.....Rance?

Ok, fair but for what it is I think it would be great craic, pure Maidentastic, the old heads, the connections, Maiden UniteD for something a little different, Stray fuckin rock, its some kinda Cart n Horses line up rather than a festival and I love it. Plus a chance to ask our Tony what the fuck is goin on with Nights Of The Dead (sorry, Tone).

Are you confusing Tony Moore with Tony Newton or am I missing something?

Wait until you listen to KK's Priest's Sermons of the Sinner, which he mixed. It sure doesn't sound like a million bucks, but rather, maybe, 300 bucks.
