I'm leaning more and more towards Copenhell. The new batch of bands caught my eyes, Iotunn especially, always wanted to see them live.

I haven't heard of that being a thing, but that would be really cool, like a fan zone during a World Cup/Euros. But no chance of Maiden doing it so..

Yeah that's what I'm thinking about. I keep thinking (dreading) after every tour that Dave will be the next one to call it quits, but so far it hasn't happened so we'll see. I also think its kind of refreshing for Steve to be so honest about the thoughts about new music, but that's for another...

Yes they mention AC/DC also, I wouldn't mind that. I agree with your other point, I didn't want it to sound like I think they know more than us, because I don't get why they're panicking over just a one year break from touring. I just wanted to share because I did not share the feeling that...

So in the lastest Capnharris video, they speculate that this might be the final world tour, and the "no touring" year in 2027 is the indicator that the band might be done and turn into Slayer etc, with just random appearances throughout the years at festivals.. I hadn't really thought about it...

Agreed, when does Sweden Rock, Copenhell etc usually announce line-ups? sept/oct?

Yeah, seems like an open secret at this point. I know people here aren't the biggest festival fans, but is there anyone that has strong preferences against one or the other? Or another festival in Europe.. Open to suggestions

I'm thinking of going to a festival next year, I've never been to one of the bigger ones, and since I'm from Sweden, Sweden Rock is the obvious one. But I'm maybe thinking Copenhell.. Let's see how the line-ups shape up..

A great version of Flash of the Blade indeed! Love it!!

Just watched some clips, but Bruce sounds in great form here. Too bad that when he was in Stockholm last summer he also had a cold/just recovered from it, so it hindered some of the performances. Love his solo stuff, opening with Accident of Birth is so hype.

Yeah it was fun seeing him coming back on stage and being like "wtf...?" and then go ".. there we go" to get things back on track.

That's a great point. Also in the case of Stockholm, the first night they butchered Phantom, so it was nice to see the song without that the second night.

Yeah I went to both shows in Stockholm, it was fun to try for the novelty, but it's not like Metallica where it's more motivated.

Hard agree. Still salty that SOTC was butchered in Stockholm haha.. the one song I was dying to hear, oh well.

RIP you legend. What a great send-off with the last performance.
