Gates of Urizen played in Brasilia tonight.

SBIT was Powerslave heavy, Maiden England was 7th Son heavy, LOTB was kinda POM heavy (2 deep cuts, album most featured) and now The Future Past. I could see them going back to a Powerslave theme, specially because the other golden era album is always well represented and also could have 'deep'...

I think that Rime will probably be back in 2025 as well, as the centerpiece of the possible stadium tour. 7th Son is possible but less likely, I would say. As for the rest, I think it'll probably be a LOTB situation with some classics, deep cuts from the 80s and some songs from post-reunion...

Yeah, I also think Maiden's stage show is perfect for arenas and very underwhelming in stadiums, even more so in daylight, if we're thinking of a summer tour.

And honestly, they might have not sold out Twickenham but it was still pretty damn full. Considering the Olympic Stadium is like 20k seats smaller, I'd say they would be able to fill it. I think it would be nice for them to do a concert at West Ham's stadium for the sentimental value it would hold.

They played at the Metropolitano in Madrid in 2018 (74k), but it was their only show there that year. I think Maiden can fill stadiums at some countries but in a setting like this, only one concert and preferably on a weekend for people to travel. Paris 2022 and Madrid 2018 were on saturdays...

According to Leana (Bruce’s wife), most vocals are from 2012, with the exception of Sonata (20 years ago) and Afterglow, Many Doors and Rain (2022).

Brazil dates probably coming today or tomorrow, there are already posters in São Paulo with 06/12 as the date.

This australian newspaper also talks about EF1. “British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden are kicking off their tour in Perth, heading Down Under in Ed Force One in September 2024.”

I don’t think they’ll change it but I agree that Prisoner and CIPWM are the most likely candidates to get replaced, as I don’t see them changing the 5 SIT + 5 Senjutsu core. What could happen imo is Stratego over Celts and then you can play longer songs instead of the 2 mentioned above, like...

Yeah, was just replying to Vaenyr. Still, I really didn't know Tool were that big in the US.

Pretty sure worldwide Maiden is WAY bigger than Tool (and Judas). Nowhere near the other 3, for sure, but I'd say the gap between Maiden and those 2 is almost as big as the one between Maiden and the top 3. And I say that because I also didn't know Tool were that big in US, I'd argue there would...

Strong rumours in Brazil that the tour will be announced 18:00 CEST (or 2 hours and 20 minutes from now). Band is the one rumoured as well. It seems it will be 7 dates in Brazil. Same sources say Maiden will enter the studio on winter with the intention to release a new album after the 2nd leg...

Brazil's most reliable concert journalist just tweeted: "Bruce Dickinson in Brazil! April/May 2024. More information soon!" His first Maiden-related tweet this year. We're assuming it's going to be for solo shows but it's Bruce so, who knows...

I don't think it has to do with the tour concept, imo it's more related to the fact that this isn't a real tour through NA and to the fact they will probably go back there (or at least close cities) next year. It probably wasn't promoted as high as it would with a proper tour. These shows...

Your knowledge of Nicko-related stuff scares me sometimes...

In LOTB 2018/19 they also shortened some repetitions in the middle section. That improved the song imo.

I guess what he meant to say is that Adrian and Bruce are the ones writing more songs nowadays, assuming Steve is mainly working on other members' songs. Adrian has signed 15 songs on the last 3 albums, Bruce 11, Janick 6 and Davey 2. I think both might have some demos of new songs (maybe not...

Second night in London was pretty good too.
