I have seen Anthrax a few times and while I'd probably pick them before any of the "usual suspects" as warm-up, I'm surprised at how many are so pumped to see them opening for Maiden.

The floor area certainly looks depressing for a Maiden concert.

I've said it before, but hitting that 50 year mark was probably as important as life itself for Steve (well, Maiden IS his life) and replacing a drummer was a necessity to reach that goal. But I'm sure it hurt. Now, there's still a lot of work going forward with a huge second leg world tour but...

Yeah, I just found them and checked the Ticketmaster one for a few dates. I don't know what point is of all this. Fanclub presale is one thing, but all the other options seem fishy to me. Gouging the price in a fake presale so that you feel you are being let in to an exclusive offer that soon...

We are still talking about presale tickets here, right? You can't say anything about general sales until a few weeks have passed. Edit: I went back a few pages. So it's not just the prices, but they have managed to f*ck up the presale by giving every living being a chance to get tickets due to...

No matter who's doing what, a new album is an engagement that goes on for several years. If there's no hard plans right now for an actual album recording, they will have to commit to that pretty soon if they intend to work like they have done in the past. Steve's mindset will have to change on...

Alright, thanks!

You know this? Then they'll do two different countries (although close) with no time in between.

No, it's just been discussed but there's nothing pointing in that direction. The contrary I would say.

I know that everyone is caught up on the NA tours but Copenhell have now scheduled Maiden for June 24:th, which means that Tons of Rock/Oslo will be on the 26:th 25:th (not yet scheduled publicly). So that concludes the France -> Denmark -> Norway -> back to France itinerary. Of course, there's...

I can travel around the world just to hear that extended middle portion of Seventh Son just one last time. But that's probably just me.

Feel free to speculate on what that would be. I mean, there's no "Nicko's not doing well" to bring to the table and Bruce certainly has all the energy he needs nowadays. Of course, an update regarding other band members' health status would always come out of the blue if there weren't rumors...

The news got released the 20:th of october 2022. Maiden were the first to be announced along with a few other main acts.

It's been like that at least since Powerslave. I can't think of any other band that has this level of "packaging" several years of activity based on a single album release and its cover. It's always been important for Maiden, not just when album sales went down. And I'm convinced album sales has...

Agreed. I don't think they've decided yet. They are running through the anniversary as a life goal for this band and they haven't had the very serious discussion yet of what the future holds, eventhough I'm sure it's on everyones mind. Either they give us the news (whatever it is) during the...
