I think we're still getting a few tours. If Maiden once messed up with choice of countries they play in, that doesn't mean they'll stop touring. They can still change a song or two on setlist and make show "worth" seeing again. If Maiden fills these shows with 80% capacity, looking at their 50 year career - does it really matter. They'll take a break in 2027, release a new album possibly and return in 2028, shows will be sold out everywhere.
I hope they'll announce the rest of the dates soon. Maybe apart from some obvious countries, such as Australia, NZ, Japan, the band will visit Indonesia, Singapore, and even India (more bands just visited this country and announced dates for 2026). I don't know how big the heavy metal fan base in Thailand is, but who knows?!
If the dates are not released next week then most likely its gonna be after the sales for central america. Wow its 4 months away till the tour begins.
Im from KL and i can say KL is a definite no. Manila is a possibility because they were supposed to play there during the LOTB tour but was cancelled due to COVID.
Sales in Manila were terrible, I think they could easily visit two cities in India, Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, four cities in Australia and announce two indoor shows in Tokyo. The band just has played Australia and Japan two years ago, and the another big tour wouldn't be a good decision. It would be the first time they visit those territories with typical greatest hits programme. I think Iron Maiden will announce some 10 or 11 shows in the whole region. Mostly indoors this time.
I dont know about the sales as it was a festival with Death Angel and a few more bands in Manila that time. But I dont think they will come to SEA region, most likely Oceania and Japan only and maybe India.
