News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[Nomadd]

Yeah, Maiden are playing smaller and smaller venues as the years go by, and there is absolutely no institution interesting in them.

We all know that the facts are different, but the artists I mentioned are more appreciated.

Yeah, Maiden are referred to as a small pub band which had absolutely no impact on the history of music.

Lol perfect!!! This guy (Nomad) is funny

jesus christ you two, get a room already.

Right, because you're a clairvoyant.
Auckland will definitely get a 2nd show,

Not unless twenty thousand people from Australia are flying over to see it. They only did one Auckland show in 2016 and 2024. They ain’t doing two in 2026.

Hugely popular mainstream bands like Queen and Katy Perry and Elton John typically do two shows in Auckland. Maiden is niche in NZ.

They’re stupid even touring Oceania again this year, they last played all the same venues around Sept 2024. The casuals won’t go twice in two years and there aren’t enough hardcores to sell them out.

That’s what reunion era KISS used to do all the time - consistently tour. After the first two or three tours most people stopped caring and they were doing much smaller venues, one show in cities where they used to do three, or co-headlining tours.

The Future Past tour was massive, and there’s arguably nothing new about this latest same-old greatest hits run.

If they pulled the farewell card they would sell twice as many tickets overnight, but that’s a trick for a few years down the road.

I have seen a lot of comments saying how poor the last tours set was, and FINALLY Australia are getting a hits set, which they haven't since 2008 this is actually attracting the casuals much more, the same ones who moaned about the last set and didn't bother going are now because they will finally see Hills, 666, Hallowed etc.

I think they will do well overall.

How informed are most casuals about the set before the concert? If they knew about the FP set before going, they don't have much basis to moan.
