I don't intend to disrespect Nicko in any way, but he was replaceable. That being said, I really doubt that Steve would accept replacing/losing ANOTHER musician in such a short period of time. It'd go against the band's image. And also against Maiden's modus operandi. In contrary to other...

I seriously doubt that Bruce already knows exactly where they'll play in 2028/29. Why would he know they're going to come back to Europe, but not to Greece or Slovakia? It makes no sense, they don't have the schedule for the next tour. IMO they don't know anything about the band's future, they...

Why? Most people here have already heard the hits many, many times. Even if songs such as Tailgunner and BYDTTS might not the best tracks Maiden have in their discography (although personally I consider the latter very enjoyable), hearing them would be interesting. Like, it wouldn't be a...

Bring Your Daughter would be an amazing encore opener... The lyrics aren't complicated and even casual listeners wouldn't have problems with singing them. Especially if Maiden played it in the way they did in 2003. An extended version (like Running Free from LAD) would be really nice for this tour.

I liked the diversity of Invincible Shield, but I'm curious to hear what they've been cooking :) One thing for sure, they aren't wasting their time. The gap between Firepower and Invincible Shield was quite long (of course, partially thanks to covid), so it's nice to know they want the new...

One year ago before the 1st gig on the tour I told you what the encores will look like. I don't have the desire to convince you in any matter. I'm not sure if the person who told me the title would be comfortable with me sharing it with other people. The bonus song wasn't a rarity but a rather...

Not a deep cut by any means ;)

If my source is correct, it didn't make it to the final version of the setlist tho. I could be wrong, we'll see about that.

At this point it'd be just cruel not to play Alexander after putting him on the t-shirt :lol:

I doubt that the person who runs their social media profiles knows anything about the new setlist. Aces High is an evergreen and it was played in 2025, so it's a safe choice to put it in the background.

I think they were sued a few years later. They brought HBTN back in 2016 - and replaced it in 2017 because of the Beckett controversy.

But AtSS was also featured in the early version of the setlist. I've always thought that it did replace ID, but this picture says the opposite. Both were meant to be performed on the tour. Just to make this clear, I'm not saying they'd play both AH and ID. I was thinking about ID replacing AH.

Tailgunner is about bombers, Aces High is about Spitfires. The video wouldn't match the theme of the song - and I don't believe that Bruce would let this happen ;) Infinite Dreams is basically confirmed now. I guess that there'll be another change, although I'm expecting an evergreen, not a...

Changing the setlist would be a wise move in the context of the French gig, which is supposed to be filmed and later released as the (potentially) last Iron Maiden DVD. Look, the current setlist is fine, especially for the newer fans... But at the same time, it's very similar to Flight 666. For...

Oh, there'd be nothing wrong with playing Alexander again. But I just think it'd be too soon. I don't recall any situation like that. When they dust off a rarity, it has to wait a few years for another chance to be performed live. Althought I might be wrong, perhaps there's been a case that...
