See The Trooper, according to Deadline, was used on the last episode of Stranger Things. Fingers crossed has a viral moment and pushes ticket sales. Fingers xx RoW announcement in next couple of weeks.

Spoke with some Maiden loving friends, none seem excited about documentary. Maiden's history well documented. Hope it gets wide exposure and boosts ticket sales, especially Knebworth. Fingers xx Rest of the World dates announced in January.

Was listening to Unchain The Night and It's Not Love the other day, cracking songs.

Recent Pollstar and Billboard touring data suggests 2025 has been a fantastic year for Maiden's tour. 2026 it looks like in France and Germany headlining major festivals at same as trying to headline standalone concerts maybe expecting too much of fans. Should have done standalone concerts...

I was at Shanghai concert, upper level wasn't used, hard to think they will play China again. Japan (2), Australia (5), NZ (1), Singapore (1) look good. Possible India and somewhere in Middle East? Small stadiums in Melbourne and Sydney?

Jose does talk a lot! Iron Maiden Brazil October, non festival. Fingers xx announcement this week.

If ROW not announced next week difficult to see it an announcement 2026. Fingers xx dates work for all!

Beyonce sold out London Stadium 2 nights 126k, 63k per night, Depeche Mode 65k sold out, Sam Fender 82k sell out. All depends on configuration of venue for gig. I will give benefit of doubt to Maiden, 69k+ good work. Have seen Megadeth and Anthrax many times, prefer songs of Megadeth, live...

Maiden did 115k in UK this year, almost 70k London. Would be surprised if Knebworth does less than 60k. Rest of world dates not to November 2026, I would rather they announce now but not sure announcing in February makes a big difference to sales if someone lives in Melbourne.

South America, Japan, Asia, Australia, New Zealand announced before or after Christmas? No longer fan club member, anyone with access what are rumours? Knebworth capacity 125k? Think with London Stadium a rush because fans knew there was 70k capacity limit and it being a special show for...

San Antonio pit sold out, still a lot of tickets left to sell. To an earlier point a lot of us do like to guesstimate ticket sales. To date total LA and NJ sales seem stronger than San Antonio. Yes Ticketb'stard is annoying as seating maps can seem fluid but we can still get a general idea on...

This is an interesting Pollstar article about Maiden's touring success. https://news.pollstar.com/2025/11/04/touring-beasts-iron-maiden-celebrates-50-years-of-worldwide-heavy-metal-dominance-with-run-for-your-lives-world-tour/

AlamoDome has seating at back of floor for Maiden. Capacity for Maiden 60000? Pit nearly sold out. Back of floor and first tier maybe half sold out. Entire top tier has few tickets sold. 20-24k sold? Maiden tend to be front loaded ticket sale wise, hard to see 10k walk up sales. At this point...

San Antonio and Hershey should be moved. San Antonio city area population is one third of Dallas Fort Worth, surprised didn't play small stadium in DFW. Sales for other concerts seem to be good through to excellent. Shame about the bots and dynamic ticket pricing. Hope ROW concerts...
