I'll do an update with Simon now, it's only fair.

1.Be Quick Or Be Dead
2.2 Minutes To Midnight
3.The Trooper
4.Infinite Dreams (or OTGDY)
5.Alexander The Great
6.Killers
7.The Clairvoyant
8.Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
9.Phantom Of The Opera
10.Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter
11.Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
12.Iron Maiden
13.Fear Of The Dark
Encore:
14.The Number Of The Beast
15.Hallowed Be Thy Name
16.Run To The Hills

16 songs set, 1 song from each album. Interesting flow, wow.

Some risks:

  • Alexander instead of To Tame A Land. Or something like Sea Of Madness.
  • Clairvoyant instead of Evil That Men Do (although I can see an early days song replacing it or Evil replacing a SSOASS song).
  • 2 Minutes instead of Wrathchild (only one of the 3 expected songs to be in the set - 2 Minutes, Evil, Wrathchild, although they can fit the latter and it feels like it's certain).
  • Be Quick (a fresh opener, so no Moonchild, Aces) instead of Afraid To Shoot Strangers as the 3rd 90's song.
  • no Running Free, Sanctuary (because they seem to dropped them in recent years) or more songs from the first 2 albums, there is no space. One of the 3 epics must be dropped for this.
  • Infinite Dreams (or another debut of a song) instead of Remember Tomorrow, Children, Powerslave, Boots (Clairvoyant is more popular?), Still Life (can't have all), Prowler (because I included Daughter), or Tailgunner/Wasting Love (no 4th 90's song, unfortunately), or Eagles.
 
1. Be Quick or Be Dead
2. Killers
3. 2 Minutes to Midnight
4. Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter
5. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
6. Only the Good Die Young
7. The Trooper
8. Wasted Years
9. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. Phantom of the Opera
11. Number of the Beast
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden
ENCORE
14. The Evil That Men Do
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name
16. Run To The Hills
 
Are those setlists predictions or rather wishes?
Only the Good Die Young, Tailgunner, Still Life, Sea of Madness and Deja Vu would all be frigging awesome, but have zero chance. Nada. Niente.

My prediction is:
1. Moonchild
2. Prowler
3. The Trooper
4. Murders In The Rue Morgue
5. 2 Minutes
6. Stranger In A Strange Land OR Heaven Can Wait
7. Hallowed Be Thy Name
8. Powerslave
9. The Evil That Men Do
10. Bring your Daughter OR Die With Your Boots on
11. Fear of the Dark
12. Iron Maiden
----------------------------------------
13. The Number of the Beast
14. Sanctuary
15. Run To The Hills

I would not get too excited over that setlist, though.

Wasted Years, Remember Tomorrow, Rime, and Where Eagles also have a chance.
Clairvoyant, Infinite Dreams, Transylvania, Afraid and Can I Play with Madness also have a slight chance, but i would be quite surprised.

I’m making a bold prediction here with it being mostly chronological, but here goes:

The Ides of March (Intro Tape)
1. Prowler
2. Phantom of the Opera
3. Wrathchild
4. Killers
5. The Number of the Beast
6. 22 Acacia Avenue
7. Hallowed Be Thy Name
8. The Trooper
9. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. 2 Minutes to Midnight
11. Infinite Dreams
12. The Evil That Men Do
13. Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter
14. Fear of the Dark
15. Iron Maiden

Encore
16. Be Quick or Be Dead
17. Die With Your Boots On
18. Run to the Hills

This is definitely more songs than they usually play (18), but I’m thinking it’s very doable for them. This set is 1 hour and 42 minutes. I think the stage show will involve the evolution of Eddie in some way, which is why the songs are chronological.

I added Infinite Dreams because of the upcoming book, and removed Still Life because I figured Maiden might not want to bring it back because it’s slow and ballad-y. Still hoping for Still Life, From Here to Eternity, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Judas Be My Guide, Loneliness, Deja Vu, or No Prayer. I’d be pleasantly surprised if Wrathchild was omitted in favor of another rarity.

Intro - Main Title from the movie "Where Eagles Dare" (same intro as World Piece tour)
  1. Where Eagles Dare
  2. Wrathchild
  3. The Trooper
  4. Bring Your Daughter
  5. 2 Minutes to Midnight
  6. Killers
  7. Phantom of the Opera
  8. Afraid To Shoot Strangers
  9. Wasted Years
  10. Infinite Dreams
  11. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
  12. Fear of the Dark
  13. Iron Maiden
  14. The Number Of The Beast
  15. The Evil That Men Do
  16. Run to the Hills
They've gone back to Number of the Beast (Early Days), Powerslave (Ed Huntour, Somewhere Back in Time), Somewhere on Tour (Future Past), and Seventh Tour (Maiden England) for intro tapes, so I think World Piece tour intro might be a good choice this time. I think it would be the obvious choice for this tour if Nicko was still in the fold and in full strength, but with Simon I'm not so sure. I think they will go with Bring Your Daughter, Afraid to Shoot Strangers and Fear from the 90's albums, but I wouldnt be surprised if they went with Wasting Love as it is quite popular on streaming services. I expect Infinite Dreams, Phantom and Rime in the set. Evil That Men Do has not been played since 2019 so you can't skip it for this tour. Wasted Years as the only track from Somewhere in Time. 26 years since they did Killers so its time to bring it back.

17. Running Free

I did a 17-song setlist because most of them are shorter ones and it's possible. I wanted to include Prowler, Acacia, No Prayer and some others but I played it safe. I actually included 0 songs from NPFTD, but I think Daughter might be played. I can see Where Eagles Dare being played and I really want it too, but I went with Revelations because Bruce loves it. Evil that men do or Clairvoyant will be played, maybe both actually, but I went with the latter, because Evil was played in 2019. The rest pick themselves.
 
Reverse chronological.

1. Be Quick
2. From Here to Eternity
3. Bring your Daughter
4. Moonchild
5. Infinite Dreams
6. Only the Good Die Young
7. Wasted Years
8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
9. The Trooper
10. Number of the Beast
11. Hallowed
12. Wrathchild
13. Killers
14. Phantom of the Opera
15. Iron Maiden
Encore
16. Fear of the Dark
17. Run to the Hills
18. Running Free
