Yeah, the TFP tour is ending in December 2024. I think next year we will see the European leg of 50 Anni/Greatest Hits tour, and in the 2026 anniversary show visit the next continents. There's a little chance for the next album in September 2026 and an album tour in 2027, maybe... but in the...

Don't Look to the Eyes of the Strangler and don't be Afraid to Shoot Stranglers.

Specified songs are for die-hards, big arenas, festivals and stadiums need hits to attract more and more casual listeners, it's obvious.

The Writing on the Wall - should be listed too. Honestly - I think this is the most probable scenario for the next two years. In 2026 they will include a new single before the 18th album release. 2017 - 18 new album tour. That's it!

I think the "Top Secret Plans" for 2025 are: 1. Recording a brand-new studio album 2. 50 Anniversary Greatest Hits Tour spanning forthcoming 2 years - 2025: December '75 Iron Maiden were established, 2026: 50 years after their first shows in May '76. To me, all is on the way and makes sense. The...

I think Iron Maiden will turn into "less shows - bigger venues" mode in forthcoming years, the same as Stones and the others.

My observations.

Generally mainstream press in the States is focused on American artists. Just a business.

Maybe Live After Death themed tour?

To be honest, he isn't the best manager in the world. Rod wasted many occasions to make this band even bigger. Smallwood has never had good relations with mainstream media to promote Iron Maiden and expose their music and image to the wider auditorium, especially in the States. All that Maiden...

Which sources?

Probably.

But when? A week has passed after the Buenos stadium show was sold out and - nothing :(

Yeah but still they haven't announced an additional show probably because of the economic crisis.

I initially thought they'd add the next date in Buenos Aires, no chance.

Yeah, you're right. I thought about the establishment's acclaim - RNRHOF induction, Grammys, and some honours.

I thought about situation after Invincible Shield release and ongoing tour - a lot more people everywhere. That's great, Maiden's sales numbers are way bigger in fact, but Priest is more acclaimed and praised by music establishments, especially in the States. Rod Smallwood didn't make a lot to...

I'm really afraid about Nicko's health. He may not be able to play on his level, it will affect the band's shows and generally their plans. Maybe it's a good moment to announce some changes. Just look at Judas Priest, they're now at their best with new, younger members. The last two albums...

And I think so same. The 2025 European leg could be something between TFP part 3 + some changes and the subtitle of the tour might be like "50 Anniversary" or so. The same as they did in 2007 with AMOLAD/25 Anni of TNOTB. I don't believe they'll completely change the setlist and stage props just...

Do you think there's no chance for the European tour in 2025? The Paris gig is almost on the way, so they'll play in Europe next year for sure.
