RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

[Perun]

How comes one of the smaller German shows is in Berlin, a capital city? When they play stadiums in other cities there.

Waldbühne has 22,000 capacity. Olympastadion has 77,000, it would never be sold out. That's why there are two Berlin gigs.

It would have sold out for sure.

In Berlin for my 3rd and final gig of this leg. Any recommendations for bars/areas to frequent tomorrow?

If Iron Maiden would play only two or three shows in Germany, Olympiastadion Berlin will be sold out. Concert capacity is 65 - 68k.

I swear it's like some of you have never heard Nicko speak before.

He's practically constantly taking the piss out of someone or something, and has never been shy about his opinions.

I’ve heard some of his past interviews. I just feel as of now the context is different. But get again it’s just an opinion and I could be wrong.

 

[redandtheblack92]

This is definitely not the case, listen to his Trunk interview. The problem is not the speed, but doing the fills to a satisfactory level. He also carefully explains when he for himself decided that he couldn't do it anymore, as his body could not recuperate in between shows due to the constant travel. That was in Sidney, by the time he told the band they were already in the US. One should also not forget we are comparing a bunch one-off shows that are only half the duration of a Maiden show, and don't include rigorous traveling.

Yeah I know he can’t do the shows and all given he’s already had a stroke but taking a piss (for fun), it’s just something about it (maybe he really wanted to be a part of it). Guess we will never know.

Okay, if you say so.

Check out Halford's, close to Warschauer Straße station.

Such a tiny TV today at Waldbuehne. Not gonna lie, I preferred it to the massive screen. The only downside was that they didn't do the Hallowed trick ( no Bruce being chased by the reaper ).
Bruce was a lot better this time around, even Aces High was passable. The MVP of this tour has to be Dave.
At the start of Powerslave they almost set the stage on fire and Bruce tried to extinguish it, it was so funny. (I hope somebody uploads this, it's so funny).

The tour is ending in 2026. It's not "Run For Your Lives Tour 2025-2027".

Next year will surely include Europe, probably 20/25 shows. Mostly festivals, since their offers will be higher than ever. Some stadiums will appear as well (they don't have festivals for them in countries like Portugal or Italy, and I don't think they will be in Europe in August, which rules out Wacken).

Then they will probably take a month or so off and head to America and maybe, just maybe, Australia/Oceania.

Japan maybe?

Waldbühne gig was fantastic. I had a great time together with some great people. Everything I've always loved about Maiden was there last night.

Yes, best gig of the tour for me.

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

Okay, if you say so.

Doesn't matter what I say. The stadium has not even that high capacity for shows. They could've sell out it for sure, but it wasn't available, same thing with Robbie Williams

 

[Perun]

If you say so.

 

[Vaenyr]

They could've sell out it for sure

For sure? I doubt that lol

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

For sure? I doubt that lol

They've sold 44k tickets for 2 midweek shows. Move the show to the stadium and you can easily get the other 5/10k needed for a sold out Maiden show

 

[Perun]

Look, if you think you know the Berlin venue landscape well enough to make that judgement, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

 

[Poto]

I doubt it. It took them a long time to sell out the second show this year. But in total they have sold over 200k tickets in Germany for this tour.

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

We'll find out the next time they're coming to Berlin
