News Run For Your Lives World Tour 2026 Rumours and Speculation

[dickinson1978]

Alexander the Great as first encore in Athens will be perfect. Otherwise, I don't know which song would fit there. Maybe, they change some things and TNOTB ends up there. It would definitely look better at night. They're not gonna play Moonchild, which is another great encore choice. From the existing songs in the setlist, I can't think of any other good option for first encore. Maybe 2 mins with bomb sounds and stuff or they add Evil there. They will end up playing Aces High anyway

They reaharse infinite dreans and running free for 2025. Maybe they have change their options but seems that infimite dreams could be an option. Alexander the great woud br weird again but 4 epics in the same setlist is historic

Tour is historic too, they should do it.

Would be cool.

They literally edited it out that's crazy. But why put it as background song tho?

Editing the Spitfire (albeit sloppy) should mean something. They do this for the first time... probably now after the rehearsals. Why to zoom the artwork anyway? Even if it's a mistake, they still could drop the song like Bruce did with Aquarius last year.

Using it as a background song for the announcement shouldn't be an indicator, not in all cases. Also, remember how we thought they would play Sanctuary last year because the official page made a comment about it just a couple of days before the start of the tour.

If they drop Clairvoyant for Evil, both could be played in the encores. Hills moved there with Fear opening is also an option. Hallowed could be moved there. Alexander could/should a bonus song to the set for the 1st show only.

Photos of the rigs (Steve, Adrian, Janick) from the rehearsal room.

One guitar is missing for Adrian (if the 2MTM guitar is there). Maybe new guitar/s for the next tour (the brand new Lado, dunno what happened with the new signature Jackson). Janick with a new guitar is always news. Nice. What is the 2nd black start? Sunburst?

 

[matic22]

No changes guitar-wise for Adrian, which is strange, since he said that he was going to play the new AS Jackson. Plus there were rumours that he has a new Lado.

The only difference is that the Les Paul Classic is gone, because it is with the Smith/Kotzen rig.

Janick does seem to have one of the new JG signature Strats with him, tho.

This would turn an already great setlist into a perfect setlist.

Infinite Dreams for the Clairvoyant and Alexander the Great for Aces high... )

 

[Iron Lurker]

I hope they keep Aces for all ya'll. The meltdown here would be glorious.

I dunno, I just like to watch the world burn...

(Seriously though it would be good if they swapped out Aces and Clairvoyent for Infinite Dreams and something else)

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

I think the first encore will be Alexander The Great.

 

[Ironalice]

I'm expecting them to keep it, just hoping more than anything it's not there aha.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

I thought for this for while today, so I think there might 1-2 songs changed, but as Bruce tends to tease on these things...I think the setlist might even be the same as last year.

Setlist is for sure getting changed - keep your eye on the setlist, surprises when talking about setlist. They said this, what is a surprise when you know the set

I don't like that if they change it now, as I would have preferred to hear certain song last year. Might have to get into some Maiden this summer aswell.

That,the infinite dreams hint and the screenshot of being on the list.

Where was this one?
I only remember the ME tour rehearsal and that it had ID on the list.

 

[Prowler]

That's exactly the reason they'll change something

Indeed. This is actually the first time that 2nd leg has probably song taken from past similar to FOI on LOTB.
But I think it's totally weird that if they decide to finally play ID, then I would have hoped to hear it live already earlier.

Someone posted that here days ago. Running free and infinite dreams being on the list and adrian saying that in a interview. That was for the 2025 tour

It was from the Maiden England tour. The Adrian interview was for this tour

I saw the text from the interview..ok, seems like weird thing.
If ID didn't get to Maiden England tour setlist (as it was rehearsed), why it was dropped last year and now possibly picked again to setlist?
