Yeah, back in 2013. I was there and that place was too big for them, I don't think they'll ever play there again. They usually play at the Velez Sarsfield Stadium. Last time they also added a smaller place, an arena, and it was really cool.

Any video of 2013 show?

This?

Now we know why the US tour was much smaller lol

My friend from Ecuador is going back to Quito for the show there I really want to see one of the shows down there, crowds are another level.

Will the Asia and Oceania dates be announced tomorrow as well? It makes perfect sense for them to fly from Chile to Australia.

Dont think so..but we will know whether the tour ends in SA or there will be Oceania and Asia shows.

I think so, I think it’ll end in the end of November

I meant they will not announce the tour dates for asia/oceania tomorrow but at a later date looking at how the tour announcements were done.

But usually at the last statement they will mention like ‘rest of the world dont worry more countries to be announced’ so we will know whether there is any asia and oceania dates.

I think it will be next year for the Rest of the world announcement, but yeah the press release will say if this is it for the tour or more ROW dates to come

10/11 - Bogotá 2 nights?

No, that video is from the Somewhere Back in Time tour. The River Plate date was on the Maiden England tour (there are no pro-shot videos as far as I know):

Those in the know in the FC are 100% certain their source for Australia in November is correct.

 

[Kalata]

If they intend to scale down their overall touring… sticking mostly to Europe… it may be true about Latin America. It may also be that they genuinely don’t know whether they’ll still exist as a band after this tour—hence the wording “possibly their last tour ever.” Of course, it could be a blatant trick to boost ticket sales, but given their age and the general uncertainty of the situation, that kind of PR wording may actually be quite honest and level-headed.

They don't need pr, especially for SA. Bruce has been teasing big 2026 tour since 2024, so more SA dates are expected (plus Asia/Australia dates in November, 5-6 months, with fewer US shows), and let's not forget that they won't be touring in 2027. The worrying thing is that this break in 2027 is for a reason, and I don't think it's because they need a physical break that much. I just hope it's not another retirement because the magic will be gone.... despite all the comments from Steve and Rod, this is a very uncertain period for the band.

But Steve and Rod said they won't slow down the tours, so it would be a surprise, even now. 3 months per year is like common for old bands.

I 100% think this will be their last ever world tour, whatever happens in 2028 if they continue on I can see it just being small scale tours like the Rolling Stones do it, and mostly Europe.

Playing mostly Europe would be odd for Maiden, the fans in SA are the best, but I guess all those travels are what is the hardest for the musicians. Plus is there still a desire...(Dave, Janick). Small scale in terms of number of shows, not venues.

I think similar, I'd expect an approach to touring involving a random run of dates here and there.

Just the big festivals in Europe? What about US arenas. Not that they need money.

 

[ShadowOfTheGods]

In 2024 Iron Maiden played twice in São Paulo to sold-out crowds. Maybe they'll announce two Morumbi nights, but three seem too many.

Two Allianz is basically a bit more than one Morumbi, so no chance. Probably 3 Allianz will do

Ending in Japan also seems quite likely then.

And Maiden did say it will be a very busy year. If 10-12 shows are added today, we have a total of 48-50. Those are rookie numbers. Add another 7-8 shows in Australia, NZ and Japan and we get close to 60. That's more like it.

Maybe they will visit Indonesia and Singapore too. An ideal way from Oceania to Japan.

They must have plans for 2027 (recording new music?) for which they want to have enough time.
Otherwise, this huge tour in one year doesn't make sense to me. It can feel exhausting and frustrating to be on the road for so long, even if you actually enjoy touring.

Bruce will be touring both Europe and NA in 2027, wouldn't surprise me to see 50+ shows so he's going to have a very busy year.

 

[Melony]

But cramming a monster Iron Maiden tour into one year and keeping the next year free of Iron Maiden tours just because Bruce wants to tour with his solo album? Doesn't sound plausible to me.
