Adrian Smith

[GhostofCain]

That London gig looks so tempting.

Not sure whether to get tickets the moment they go on sale or wait until there is more clarity about what is going to happen after Christmas with Omicron though.

I will probably wait: once bitten, twice shy…

 

[Spaldy]

Beat me to it. I'll be at the Glasgow gig for sure.

Only one date is on a Friday or Saturday night and it's the one in Lemington Spa! Not ideal for travelling to with the other dates in big towns all on school nights.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Wolverhampton it is, for me!

I wish there were Smith/Kotzen dates on the US east coast or SE. It would be cool to see them

Compensating the long break

Well he didn't stop. He wrote and published a book and made an awesome album, an EP, promote Senjutsu with interviews…

Adrian actually seems like the kind of guy who would definitely keep on making music and being active in that space even if Maiden suddenly came to an end. Funny how I think most people expected that to be Bruce, but, well...

Ok, touring break…

Ticket for the London show bought (Iron Maiden's Fan Club presale). Let's hope the show goes ahead in March.

You will enjoy it. It's the last date of the tour in London so maybe some members of Maiden could play The Trooper or something.

I doubt that'll happen with the band members scattered around the world. The days of them all living in London are long gone.

Capacity of the UK venues is as follows:

Manchester Academy Club: 2300 for Academy 1 and 950 for Academy 2 (I guess they will be playing the latter).
Leeds Brudenell Social Club: 400
Glasgow Garage: 700
Wolverhampton KK’s Steel Mill: different configurations with capacities of 220/500/750/1000/2200
Leamington Spa The Assembly (festival gig): 1000
Bristol Fleece: 450
London Islington Assembly Hall: 890

Too bad they're only hitting a tiny part of the southwest. I'd love to see them, but not quite at the "plane ticket and a hotel during a pandemic" level of love.

All things going well, I’ll be seeing them in London, but that is just a 40 minute train ride from where I live.
