News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

I really hope Nicko comes out and plays a few songs. It would be so cool.
Yes if nicko has to appear in a show could be there. But when happened that? Adrian in donington 92 and blaze joining them in 90 when he was with wolfsbane.

I dont expect guest appearence because maiden dont do that. I mean Blaze is playing in other scenario not even the main show so maybe nicko could appear there
 
Quite logical expectations. Maiden rarely miss Europe, and the festival format looks very likely. America is also almost guaranteed to be on the tour. If the announcement is in September, it fits into their usual strategy. We just have to wait for details and dates.
 
In no way does that mean that won't happen at this particular gig, because again, this is uncharted territory as the festival is an explicit celebration of Maiden. Nor does it mean it will happen, but "Nicko hasn't appeared before" isn't a definitive argument here.
I mean they dont usually bring guest to the show
 
No, but this is an unusual show though, and Nicko isn't really a guest. So we'll see - I'm not expecting him to play, but hoping and consider it the likely show for it to happen at, if it ever happens.
I think there are more chances to see one or two songs changed in the set than nicko playing with them but who knows

Who let the bot in?

Monkey's paw: They'll play Running Free and Nicko will join them on bass, in a bizarre callback to Adrian joining the boys at Donington 92.
 
Knebworth, Running Free at the end, Nicko and Dennis both on stage, Simon on camcorder like Janick in '92.

Althoooough, they said that Paris would be filmed. So mayhap McBrain will do a tune then. The whole encore? Or out for Running Free at the end?

I think the latter is a more viable option. Have Simon do the full set proper cos he's the drummer and bring out our Henry out for a touch of pizzazz at the end.

It would certainly make Eddfest a little extra special and add a touch of something something to the live release.

Probably won't happen but sure what's a little speculation for the nation?
 
I'm sure Nicko will be at Knebworth. I don't know about Paris, but he can't miss the first EddFest. I don't know if he'll play a song or two, but he'll definitely be there. If he does play, I think it will be a second encore or something, but not Running Free. It should be a song he originally recorded with the band imo. I'd say the Trooper, but I kinda don't want it to be the Trooper.

He could play with titanium tart but would be very amateur
