This could very well be another hint about a Part 2 + new album tour for 2028 (probably with some albums omitted). It would make the most sense. Without an album, too. Pophouse would love it.

I'm sure part 2 is coming, but I don't see it being promoted for anything except for a new tour - 2028 is (roughly) 30 years since reunion so a reason more. If new album comes out in 2027/2028 they could kill 2 birds with 1 stone - first leg in style of LOTB22 (few new songs + reunion stuff + some classics) and second leg in style of TFP (half new album, rest reunion stuff and some classics). With this they can enter 2030 for yet another 80s hits tour.. again...

If they record in 2027 the next tour would be the album tour. And the next another hits tour if there is another one,but for sure there will be a tour with reunion songs on it. Steve said he wants to play some songs again, and has to be reunion songs becuse they dont revisit them

I'm just not sure of they'd do a 4 years of reunion songs (2 for a setlist of half new albums and 2 for mostly reunion setlist). I mean I would really like to, but that would mean we would get (if not another album) after that a 3 year tour consisting of 5 troopers, 5 wrathchilds, iron maiden, fear of the dark and tnotb...

It will be a new album but if they do like fpt could be a great tour too. Apart from that if there is non album tour that would be weird they would play all the songs that are not in the current tour.thats my guess
 
In all seriousness, Maiden did wrong by not including Running Free on this celebratory tour. It's the perfect track for engaging with the audience, jamming, and improvising a bit. I attended Metallica's Death Magnetic tour, and for the first time, I saw Seek & Destroy in a different light - it was such a satisfying and fitting song to end the show with. Not too overly serious, just pure fun. Maiden's Running Free could serve a very similar purpose.

My preferred encore for this tour:

Run to the Hills - enormous oomph after the pause following the main set.
Running Free - an extended version with some musical fun and shenanigans with the crowd.
Wasted Years - a glorious statement and an uplifting end to the show.

Agree. Even replacing Aces Mid-height with would benefit the show in multiple ways.

It could be worse, you could they Bon Jovi

True. Bon Jovi and Def Leppard are both filling stadiums and arena`s with a show that can`t match anything Maiden produce in terms of the quality of the songs performed and the singer`s voice.
I wonder if they get much criticism from their fans or if it`s more of a let`s go and enjoy it and have fun while we can vibe.
 
My uneducated WAG. There may or may not be a new album in 2027. Regardless, this tour is Iron Maiden to Fear of the Dark. No IM tour in 2027 (already stated). I believe there will be one last tour 2028-2029 that is X-Factor to Senjutsu / new album, and that will be it. By 2028 these guys will be so old that surely it would be the very last tour. They are super human, but age never loses.

Jon Bon Jovi gets panned and rightly so…

Tbf i still think Leppard are up to scratch but Bon Jovi sound like an amateur tribute band these days
