Yes, but interestingly, he still seems to have approached Steve regarding a new Maiden album.

Isn't it possible that the tickets will reappear as resales?

Blaze is going to headline the Eternal Flame Metal Festival in Sarajevo (13 and 14 February 2026).

I always thought it was best to join the fan club presale as early as possible. But I've heard from several people that they didn't see the tickets they wanted at that early stage, but when they logged back in hours later, some were available.

They don't need a month and a half to transfer to another continent. Their logistics should be better than that. Yes, I agree. If they wanted to, they could.

I think we'll get a larger European leg and a smaller rest of the world leg than in the original plans for this tour.

An above-average number of rumors and assumptions that do not seem to be true this time. Just coincidence or this?

Steve was desperate to play at the Sabaton Open Air Festival. https://guitar.com/news/music-news/how-steve-harris-convinced-sabaton-open-air-festival/

"Rock am Ring" is sold out, but "Rock im Park", mentioned above in the initial post, is not. I hope no one from Maiden gets confused and shows up at the wrong festival. :D

The financial aspect does indeed seem to be an important factor. For example, most bands play both Rock im Park and Rock am Ring, but it is entirely possible to negotiate playing only one of the festivals. It's not the case that if one of these festivals fits in well with your schedule, that...

Is anybody thinking about taking photos with Bruce and Nicko at the convention? I found a schedule: https://celebphotoops.com/schedules/som.pdf

I don't think there's a fan out there who is privy to such internal information. It would have to be someone who additionally works for the band or a personal friend. But does that really matter? We can discuss the possibilities listed. I don't think you need spectacular insider knowledge to...

Hopefully, the tour planning for 2026 wasn't a mistake in that sense. After such a long tour, you sometimes feel like you don't want to do it anymore, even though that's not really true, and you wouldn't even have thought of that after a less strenuous, long tour.
