Agreed. I can't say I've ever looked forward to them opening for Maiden, but it's quite a sad post to read.

Looks like the 1st Toronto show is virtually sold out (I'd guess 98-99% gone). For the 2nd night, the floor is sold out, but at least half the seats are still available.

Unfortunately, this sounds accurate. I'd love an "X Factor to Senjutsu" tour, but after getting a taste of stadiums, I have a hard time imagining the band would dedicate a tour to their least popular albums, especially since it would mean a big downgrade in attendance (revenue), on what would...

This adds up to approx 78 minutes, 22 seconds (fits on one CD): The Wicker Man El Dorado The Writing on the Wall Blood Brothers The Book of Souls Rainmaker Passchendaele Different World Coming Home The Legacy Hell on Earth A mix of everything - 2 songs from each album (except The Book of...

He performed "Manhunt" live in Toronto in 2017. It was a fantastic performance of a great song. I could also see "Tough as Steel" working well live.

This is a good interpretation. Quoting myself from an old post (from 2021): A rough comparison: "One Shot At Glory" - one of their greatest songs, never played live before. Probably equivalent to Maiden playing "Alexander the Great" (and they started the show with it! Imagine a Maiden concert...

In fairness to Hill, he played a pretty good bass fill once, in 1978.

Yep, I know. For what it's worth - he played in Canada and the US in 2017 and 2019. I went to both shows (two years apart) in Toronto, which were at The Rockpile (a dive bar well outside of the downtown core). It has max capacity of 500, but I'd guess maybe there were 150 each night. Fully...

I hope he does this tour in Canada. If not, I'd seriously consider flying to Europe to see it once.

I was hoping for more than 2 shows in Canada. Based on the gaps between the dates, a 2nd show in Toronto looks possible.

The cheapest tickets I saw for Toronto were just over $400 CDN (around $285 USD). At that price, I'll pass.

"Tales of Topographic Oceans" times two!

Someone posted on the fan club forum that Pula is off the table. (For the record - that's a rumour, but not official). I liked the idea of seeing Maiden in a small venue, especially one that's a Roman amphitheater - to the extent that I started looking into the travel logistics from Toronto. But...

A £37.16 convenience fee would get you up to a nice, even £666

A summary of where things stand as of today - 18 shows have been announced so far. The big questions are: will Athens be the first concert? (it hasn't specifically been announced as the first - but that doesn't mean that it won't be) are they going to fill in any of the gaps? There's currently...
