If anyone wants to see Maiden at Rock am Ring, don't wait for day tickets to become available. That won't happen for 2026. This is now the last price level before the final one, so there will be another increase. Why does Maiden write ‘IM’ and ‘AM’ in capital letters? Rock AM Ring, Rock IM Park

I could also imagine that there is a connection between the announcement of the tour break in 2027 and Steve's comments—so that not too many fans realize that 2027 is supposed to be reserved for the album. PS: I can understand why they decided and announced that. Dave looks pretty sick. ;-) (I...

Yes, the way the “exclusive show” in Germany was communicated to and by the promotors and the press was a bit questionable.

"Rock am Ring" is going to make an announcement on Tuesday at 12 pm.

It is an official photo. It's a bit embarrassing that some people found it too amateurish and probably just generated by fans using AI. :D

You think so? Their last album with only songs from before the reunion. The songs after that are irrelevant and can be ignored. I would find that totally inappropriate and a pity.

That is what I meant with marketing strategy. The way the tour was announced makes people who didn't want to see them or were still on the fence want to see them again in 2026.

I agree. That would be such a serious decision that it would not be hinted at so playfully if it had been decided. But, as I said, this hint is not stupid from a marketing perspective.

From a band marketing perspective, it wouldn't be stupid to hint - without confirming it or lying - that nothing else might happen after 2026. Then fans will be even more eager to see the 2026 tour.

Aha! A break from the road, not a break...

Haha, no, but an interview with Adrian could be added, so that the whole thing becomes a bigger report.

At least now you won't make fun of my posts anymore. ;):p

Postponed to the issue after the next one.

British Lion playing "Paradise" in Saarbrücken, Germany.

What do you think? Screenshot of the event alert on the German ticket site "MyTicket.de".

Management made this suggestion, and Nicko and Bruce said, “With this guy? No way!” Then management said, “ And what if you go home with a nice chunk of cash?” (Just kidding.)

It's great that he was able to find band members that function so well together— that's harder than some people think.

In such a long interview, it's more likely that you might accidentally let something slip that could give clues about plans, e.g., a new Maiden album. Unfortunately, I don't have much time at the moment. Does he say anything about science? I'm still curious about the answers given in his...

He is Rod Smallwood's son.

Early October, as far as we know. The next issue of Metal Hammer Germany will feature an interview with the project coordinator, Ben Smallwood.
