18th Studio Album discussion

2027 seems like the most likely candidate for when the Paris live album/video will be released, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're planning on going bigger with it after such a long break with a limited cinema release and whatnot. It wouldn't be entirely inappropriate for Maiden's last release to be a live album of what they likely consider their "ultimate" tour featuring some of their all-time strongest material, rather than studio album number 18. Plus it still wouldn't preclude future touring, but they wouldn't have to commit to a full-length album tour.

You think so? Their last album with only songs from before the reunion. The songs after that are irrelevant and can be ignored. I would find that totally inappropriate and a pity.
 
...

Idk, it all sounded like the band is rejuvenated with Simon and now they are going to take a break from touring.

Bruce also confirmed in an interview how much fun they all had on this tour.

I am convinced that it was not the original plan to organize this monster tour for 2026.
I believe that the original plan was indeed to tour the rest of the world in 2026 and then possibly earn additional money with these successful shows at festivals and other European markets in 2027.

Was the money needed earlier? And some members said, okay, but only if we don't tour in 2027?
I wish someone knew what has happened/is going on.

If after 2026 they are not going to record a new album. After a break they will tour again and i see after the big hits tour a rare songs tour with all songs forgotten or barely played in their tours

Steve (or someone else) has made a terrible mistake with his investment funds and his mates are helping out?
Just a joke. (But who knows, I find it all odd.)
