A third show in Sao Paulo is looking likely on the 28th, and that's it for South America. But I think we might get the remaining countries announced before that one.

They are doing the stadium x2 this time, it was the stadium + arena last time. Similar to Chile 2019. I would probably wait for at least general sale to start before making more stupid predictions. Edit: Maybe general sale started today, but my point stands.

Haha.

Hallowed and Infinite Dreams replaced with Running Free and Afraid to Shoot Strangers. Worst trade in history. And I like both songs we ended up with!

If this is the second time they have dropped Infinite Dreams at the lastminute...

Based on things I have read over the years it's Steve, Bruce and Rod who decide setlists.

Ending in Japan also seems quite likely then. And Maiden did say it will be a very busy year. If 10-12 shows are added today, we have a total of 48-50. Those are rookie numbers. Add another 7-8 shows in Australia, NZ and Japan and we get close to 60. That's more like it.

Replace Aces High with a rarity and it makes a world of difference. I had the most stupid grin on my face in Budapest when they went from Rime to Hills and then Seventh Son. My first thought wasn't "hey, they played this song just 11 years ago".

Lets hope so. Hopefully without Napoleon and co. It also struck me that they seem quite inspired by Rammstein on this tour. The bridge, using the soundboard as a smaller stage and having a cover band as support.

Spektrum takes 8-9k doesn't it? Sabaton probably could have remained in there. Probably didn't sell more than that for tonight unfortunately. Lots of empty seats, still GA left and over half of the venue was restricted. Also, the Legends stuff with the speeches and all meant the show never...

Some speculation and rumours that South American dates are getting announced the coming week.

I like the xmas shirts. It's too expensive though after shipping + import taxes

Yeah, it's not that late to leave it until December or January.

Maiden had around 73k when you count complimentary tickets.

Phantom was one the highlights for me.

They are classics, but deep cuts in a live setting.

If they only went for 2x London Stadium in the UK on a tour like this I am sure they could have sold over 100k tickets. Maybe even 60k each night with strong support acts.

My concerts this year Maiden in Budapest x2, Bratislava, Trondheim, Stavanger and Helsinki Avantasia, Oslo Helloween, Oslo first night Maiden best, Stavanger probably best or Helsinki. Avantasia and Helloween also great. Avantasia probably slightly better than Helloween Also plenty of local...

It's not really a lineup that makes it feel very special is it. Ironically I think having a band like Priest would have given this a bit of a boost and made it more interesting.

Yes, but at the same time Rod has been going on about making Trooper VIP affordable for fans. And I think people going to Knebworth will start to feel shortchanged with the special things costing additional silly money.
