Create your own Iron Maiden setlist!

The band immediately followed up the Legacy of the Beast with putting out a new album and immediately announcing a European tour in 2023. The press release for the tour made a point that the format would be the same as the previous two tours where the stage set would change during the intermission with fans being surprised by a focus on Somewhere in Time to be the thematic focus of the second set. Fans noticed the set was a bit shorter than on previous tours and Nicko's drumming was more muted in comparison to previous tours. This was later revealed to be the result of his previous wrist injury not properly healing. The morning of the tour's final show in Sao Paulo, Nicko announced his retirement from the band at the age of 72.

As to what happened in 2025 or beyond... who knows? (Bookmarking for 2030 I guess)

I like this list A LOT.
I’d just find some way to squeeze in The Clairvoyant, it’s my 2nd favorite song on the album (after the title track) and relatively short in duration.

It's actually one of my favorite songs on the album as well, I just wanted to avoid the 2 songs they are playing on the current tour to have room for Infinite Dreams and Only The Good Die Young. Maybe I could have replaced Can I Play With Madness with it.
 
In 2010 Iron maiden played a setlist focused on the first three Reunion albums as the first leg of The Final Frontier tour. This setlist is a continuation of that idea with the next three albums, leading into a new album tour.

Intro: Satellite 15
1. The Final Frontier
2. El Dorado
3. 2 Minutes To Midnight
4. New Song
5. If Eternity Should Fail
6. The Writing On The Wall
7. Hell On Earth
8. Coming Home
9. Death Or Glory
10. The Great Unknown
11. When The Wild Wind Blows
12. Fear Of The Dark
13. Iron Maiden
------------------------------------------
14. The Number Of The Beast
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name
16. Running Free
 
Run For Your Lives Tour, but Iron Maiden use the Dream Theater/Metallica policy of playing different setlists when they do multiple shows in the same place. So, Setlist 1 would be what we got, Setlist 2 something like:
  1. "The Ides of March" + "Be Quick Or Be Dead"
  2. "Purgatory"
  3. "22 Acacia Avenue" (first time since 2004)
  4. "Fates Warning" (live premiere) // "Judas Be My Guide" (live premiere)
  5. "The Number of the Beast"
  6. "Back In The Village" (first time since 1984)
  7. "The Prisoner"
  8. "No Prayer For The Dying"
  9. "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"
  10. "Transylvania" (first time since 1993)
  11. "Strange World" (first time since 1980)
  12. "The Trooper"
  13. "Hallowed Be Thy Name"
  14. "Iron Maiden"
    Encore
  15. "Infinite Dreams" (first time since 1989)
  16. "2 Minutes To Midnight"
  17. "Running Free" + band presentation
Janick doubles H on 22AA and The Trooper, takes his solos on BQOBD, Fates Warning and NPFTD, the first solo on Transylvania, the second on HBTN, and the post-solo on 2MTM.

Stratton's solo on SW is switched between H and Janick much like Revelations' second solo in 2022 (was it 2022?). Also you have something short of 10 minutes of complete rest for Bruce between SSOASS's break and Strange World, and the song itself is not demanding.

In a no-Covid world, Iron Maiden could do a Somewhere Back on Tour in 2021, celebrating Somewhere in Time's 35th Anniversary:
  1. "Theme from Blade Runner" + "Caught Somewhere in Time"
  2. "2 Minutes to Midnight"
  3. "Sea of Madness"
  4. "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"
  5. "Como Estais Amigos" (live premiere)
  6. "Stranger in a Strange Land"
  7. "Flight of Icarus"
  8. "Alexander the Great" (live premiere)
  9. "Walking on Glass"
  10. "Powerslave"
  11. "Heaven Can Wait"
  12. "Revelations"
  13. "Hallowed Be Thy Name"
  14. "Iron Maiden"
    Encore
  15. "The Number of the Beast"
  16. "Sanctuary"
  17. "Running Free" + band presentation
  18. "Wasted Years"
18 tracks, but one is a guitar solo instrumental.
