Both had sold out shows for months and a demand which Maiden surely don't have now

This is the first time you write something that actually makes sense. That was my idea before seeing that they would finish SA up in early november. Doubtful they would go from Chile to Japan and then go back to Oceania, and it should be a long run of shows in Japan to end up in Australia in...

Not for Oceania. Less people, less international acts.

But not a big market.

I highly doubt a full arena tour can justify the costs of going down there. If you take in account that they just visited it (more or less) and that Foo Fighters will rob them of several thousands tickets, then it's not that impossible that they scrapped the idea.

I never took a moment to check the Foo Fighter's dates. It's the same exact time frame as Maiden's. At this point a return there is highly unlikely.

If they play there (who knows, they might skip it altogether and just go to Japan), I'm sure something will change from the usual route. Arenas shows are probably not enough to justify a coming down there anymore.

I think it was just for the 2nd Sydney show, sure as hell not for NZ. The fact they played one show instead of two has nothing to do with the popularity, as the time before that they sold out both shows in advance (although the boxscore for one of the two was extremely low and not sold out, but...

Totally untrue, last NZ show sold out on march 21st 2024, while the show happened on september 16th. There were 6 side view tickets available on may 8th. In 2016 they sold out both shows in advance as well. Actually, it makes more sense for them to attempt a stadium in NZ than in Australia...

Based on that they shouldn't have done 90% of the stadiums that now they sell out easily. Not saying they will attempt stadiums (not in every market at least), but some results from 17 years ago have no meaning nowadays

You don't have to do a whole rebrand if it's not doom and gloom.

Perfect, so we can rule out an Oceania's announcement coming anytime soon.

London was 69k tickets sold and probably close to 75k in total, so it wasn't going to be a big step up My theory is that they wanted a cheap, big open air space where to put the attractions

Liam Gallagher had 85k per night in 2022, setup will probably be the same as Maiden. I don't think Sonisphere was held in the same spot as this year (i mean, same spot but different layouts)

85.0000 is the actual capacity. Don't know if it's less due to the museums and stuff Maiden has, but it doesn't look like it by the teaser
