If any tour is going to be 3 legs it will be this one, I can see them doing a final run across Europe 2027 very easily.
Especially if they are planning a new album, they could record it early 2027, for a Sept / Oct release so it would make sense to fill the year with RFYL Leg 3 in between.

Exactly, and even promote a brand new song live before album release. And they've called RfyL tour "big", so a three-year-long jaunt with 103 - 105 shows played combined would be a good example of this one. I think a tour like that and a documentary would be a great PR platform for the 18th album.
 
I don't quite agree. Steve's comment when the tour was announced was clearly aimed at Alexander the Great, and maybe also Stranger in a Strange Land and Caught Somewhere in Time.

There was a compass (?) that was a reference to The Clairvoyant.

Oh yes! I stand corrected. My apologies to @Kalata as well - you were correct and I actually found the IMFC magazine feature I was referring to from the LOTB 2018 thread, shared by Kalata (who else! ;) ) in 2018, actually. Seems like The Clairvoyant & Heaven Can Wait were candidates for the Legacy tour too. Hopefully we'll get the first mentioned now, not too keen on the latter.

Some were dismissive about people taking ATG for granted as soon as the tour was announced, but it was blindingly obvious in my opinion that it'll get played since it's the memed-on song from SiT and Bruce repeatedly brought up their intention to play it on his book tour. SotC on LOTB was an actual example of a completely-out-of-nowhere surprise song, since while it was hinted at in the poster, nobody actually got it.

SOTC was covered up perfectly with FTGGOG in the tour artwork.

I would say that that Death of the Celts was the biggest surprise on the last tour. I honestly thought The Parchment was a dead cert.

Als, I did not expect CSIT. I’m glad they played it.

I fully expected CSIT once they announced the focus was on Somewhere in Time / Senjutsu. It was the opener on the SIT tour which I saw as a teenager. I'm also glad they played Celts although I'd like to see Parchment one day.

My two biggest surprises were 'The Prisoner' and 'Can I Play With Madness' because they were the only songs played from 2 extremely popular albums although they are by no means the most beloved songs from those albums among IM fans. I can think of many songs I would have rather heard off those 2 albums, but in fairness they were great live rockers / crowd pleasers and I enjoyed them much more than I expected I would.
 
I hoped and got CSIT, it was great to see show dedicated set with more songs from SOT (as it had been overlooked album for many tour). CSIT should have been played earlier in the reunion era, but glad they finally did it along other songs from the album. Death Of The Celts worked live, but I thought before the tour that they might be doing The Parchment instead..

So..anything is possible but Im confident Infinite Dreams will now finally be added to the setlists. Hope that my pants can handle this thing, when Im going to see Maiden in june.

Budapest 2. I can't wait and intend to stay spoiler-free until then. Excitement, it shakes me!

Τhe day of the 2nd gig will be the most difficult to stay spoiler-free at the venue. People will talk about the show and then there is the merch. Some people will be wearing a Rime t-shirt hopefully.

Who here is going to Budapest?

I am on my way to Oslo now before heading to Budapest later today.

Scream for me Budapest, Run For Your Lives and all of that. Lets go!!

I'm here too. I spent the past two days exploring. Yesterday I walked 38 km according to my phone... probably not the smartest decision. Will rest up tomorrow and get ready for the floor both nights!

I am fine with this, it's part of the overall experience. The most difficult part will be to avoid the maidenfans on Tuesday night.

Hmm, concerned Maidenfans citizens can help you with this dilemma. We, the people, are fully capable of raising hell in some political thread—so fierce, so outrageous—that you'll flee this community without a second thought. You might even feel the urge to sprinkle your phone or other device with holy water, just to contain the evil that men do when armed with spare time, a keyboard, and the burning will to prove their version of the truth.
Shall I proceed to help you avoid this sacred, anticipation-filled forum? :)
