Why this IRON MAIDEN tour was NOT what I expected... despite knowing everything about it

Towards the end of Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives Tour I was finally able to witness it myself in Frankfurt… and despite overanalyzing it in videos before that, and knowing pretty everything there is to know about this run… it was very different from what I expected it would be.

So let’s talk about the show, the backdrop betrayal, what Iron Maiden do and don’t do on Run For Your Lives Tour… and then talk about what Iron Maiden will bring onto 2026. Here you go!
