A live concert broadcast is different from a documentary movie released around the world...

For 99% of fans, the documentary movie isn't interesting at all, now you've got everything on the Net.

The concert movie or biopic would be something that attracts fans, but documentary. There are many documentary videos from Maiden, so the cinematic promotion isn't a good idea. Better would be to share the movie on streaming platforms, even Maiden's YT chanel as the tour promotion.

75 countries booked hundreds and hundreds of cinemas, but the sales have been a complete flop, so far. It looks like no one is interested in a documentary movie about Maiden :(

I thought the same. They're the only metal act among the nominees, and there were so many moanings, speculations, and accusations of being prejudiced against metal artists. I think they will induct them via the Music Excellence Award. And they never improved the list of IM members before, so...

We don't know what they're going to do in the future. 2027 will be a break from touring, but I suspect in 2028, they will be back for some festival shows and selected concerts in some countries. I think RFYL is the very last global tour, so they wanted to play as many stadium shows as possible...

Yeah, it looks like. I've heard about Anhembi Indoor Arena - I don't know if this project was completed. We don't know how many tickets were sold for the second night in SP, but the Iron Maiden Brasilia site says there aren't many left for this show. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a...

I don't know who's to blame, but the situation has become more complicated now.

Oh no! Bad news! It will slow the sales of Maiden shows down. Not Good! IM management should announce Oceania dates earlier, probably in January. S**t.

Recording and publishing new music is nothing short of an investment in PR for touring it live. No profits from sales at the level the band could be satisfied with, even Maiden's status.

Nothing to prove to anybody. I think they know about this. Probably there are not more than 4 years left for IM as an active band.

Iron Maiden aren't so big a "brand" in the mainstream media, 'cos they and their management haven't ever been interested in. Maiden is about MUSIC and live shows, not just scandals, addictions, reality TV, and sensational headlines from street press. But let's make that offtop over! I think IM...

OK, it's just debating and conversation.

In the mainstream audience - yes, Maiden has never care about that, just compare record sales, merch sales, and ticket sales (tours). Honestly, Maiden is way over the Sabbath. Most people just know Paranoid and Ozzy from his tricks, addictions, and Celebrity TV. At the end of the day amount of...

Exactly!

You seem so confident in your predictions that the entire 2026 tour is almost sold out already.

Yeah, but generally for the band with IM history and status, playing for half capacity arenas and stadiums is like making a fun of themselves, especially if we talk about the 50 Anniversary Tour, which was announced as a worldwide stadium tour. BTW the fans' ambivalent reaction on 2026 shows is...

Yes, there's no chance, 20k on each show would be OK imho. The management scheduled risky big venues and repeated the same places they just visited in 2024, same with EU/LATAM and NA.

Let's wait and see how Oceanian shows will do. I don't think they sell so fast to add more dates; if sales went wrong, they would be forced to change stadiums to indoor arenas.

All depends on how the first night will sell. The same as we thought about the 3rd show in Sao Paulo.
