I think anyone hoping for any real change to the setlist is setting themselves up for disappointment. I don't think any epics are getting swapped, I don't think anything that had merchandise made for it (Aces) is getting swapped. *Maybe* they move some parts around and make one swap somewhere deep in the set.

I think there is a very strong possibility of playing it, since they are doing Greece. Not playing it there at least once down there would be blasphemy.

That they are going to change some songs. Aces high should be one.

Well, they had merc made for Where Eagles There before 2022, so...

He spent years saying theyll play alexander the great and when they played it the dont go to athens lol. Yes it could be and unexpected change

I don't usually expect this type of stuff, but it's not that uncommon to change a setlist after a year (AMOLAD 2006/2007, SBIT 2008/2009, TFF 2010/2011, TBOS 2016/2017). Also, serious hints are here - not just Bruce mentioning his favorite song, but now openly saying there is a surprise with a setlist. It seems obvious they're gonna change something. I think there are only 3 songs that can be swapped, those that didn't receive that didn't get audience amazed or excited comparing to others - the clairvoyant (can be swapped for any 4-5 min song), 2mtm (swapped for any single or 6-7 min song), aces hugh (swapped for a single/4 min song/epic if something else changes)

Yeah but in spoiler he mentioned THE song being played instead of clairvoyant, but I would keep clairvoyant and swap with 2mtm

I think its obvius aces high should be dropped. I cant remember one song played like that since blaze years. But i dont see infinite dreams as a end of the enchore and the evil that men do is a super hit
Ledges Bitten In Dust
Ancient Mariner
Yeah, I don't expect wrathchild as it's too good transition from MITRM and later to Killers. I also don't see any song to be played instead of it. Also wasn't played for 8 years, so it's technically one of the song they "brought back".

The previous Infinite Dreams comment, now this setlist remark from Bruce... either a very good tease or he's deliberately leading everyone on. Really hoping it's the former!

Aces is most logical, but whole video is there (also featured in film), super popular, Bruce bringing his costume back, it seems to popular and now staple for encore to be dropped. They don't care for Bruce' voice it seems. Tailgunner is also about planes, video can be even reused and also much easier for Bruce to sing it. Plus they would bring it back after 33 years.

Infinite Dreams shouldn't be an encore.
I'd go Infinite Dreams in place of Clairvoyant and Alex as the 1st encore.

Or maybe they can move it

The comment from Bruce regarding the setlist in Athens is basically saying yes there will be a change this year or it`s a shit trick to sell more tickets.
Infinite Dreams over The Clairvoyant is spot on for me and Alexander would be an amazing bonus. Fingers crossed we aren`t being trolled , bring on Saturday 23rd to find out.

Aces can only be at the start of something. The whole set or a start of an encore. In 2022 they played 2 encores to fit it in... And it was much worse than 2019.
