It seems to be very likely. I think the same.

Why not? They might announce that one in the Spring of 2026.

Definitely, a stadium show in a big city would be the better option.

Yeah, if the sales are so poor as some here suggest, the management would be forced to invite more attractive supports and/or cut the prices, maybe even cancel the Knebworth show and change the venue. So, time will tell.

They should change the venue to a mid-sized stadium in a big city, maybe Birmingham.

Honestly, the band with Maiden status could announce a massive FREE show in the UK just to immortalize the 50th Anniversary experience. I know - the money matters, the costs would be enormous even for them, but - Oh my God - just once in their career. The 50th Anniversary should be something...

I think the same, but 50k should be OK, this place is enormous (125K or so).

Exactly, Metal (in general) is not about being accessible, it's being AGAINST the mainstream mentality. That is it!

Among the casual listeners who repurchased them in the days of some ballads and hits for radio-friendly mainstream society. They are a trendy metal band for people who really don't like metal. Maybe "Fear of the Dark" album is not so heavy-sounding but way more metallic and sharper in my ears...

They didn't do like Metallica - mainstream stuff for casual radio-friendly listeners and a commercial (musical) approach. Maiden is Maiden, they have always been on their own way. If Metallica didn't do something like Black Album, Load, Reload, and more full of ballads and radio-friendly rockers...

OK, but Iron Maiden are playing more concerts (generally), and you must realize Metallica doubled the shows with 80% the same people in the audience both nights! This could be called a monopolization strategy in the concert markets (money-grabbing anyway). The final results are fewer shows, more...

Who cares, the music really matters!

Completely different audiences in terms of scale and popularity. We can compare IM attendances with those of other hard rock/metal acts, but not with pop megastars like Coldplay or Ed Sheeran. It's obvious.

Man, those ones are pop/dance acts not even hard rock.

In 2009, Iron Maiden played in Chile at Club Hippico, - 65k people in attendance; they could easily do the same, even at the same outdoor venue.
