It shows how the sales are. As I said, in some countries they've overestimated the demand. I wouldn't be surprised by the same result in Central America. They're not announcing any news, I'm wondering why???
First time I hear they don't have the B - equipment. I don't think so. It's too expensive to bring the same gear around the world in the constant routine of touring. I think they will bring the tour to Oceania and Asia from Chile, with a week's break due to logistics.
Announcing the only show in the UK at Knebworth Park is the thing that I and only I consider a mistake, playing the same set list to announce the big stadium/festival tour in Europe, just a few months after the same one was completed. Not informing people about their decisions on the documentary...
Rod's not always been lazy (in the past). Now they have three people in their management, and many actual decisions were mistakes, as we said in this thread.
Yeah, the promoting process is generally good, but some decisions (bad venue choices, postponing the documentary, and not publishing it before the tour) are kind of mistakes. There's the other side of the coin, too. Maybe despite managers' efforts rock and metal community worldwide isn't so much...
It's normal - she's promoting that just after they announced the whole line-up. For Maiden it would be better to announce their own indoor show in Belgium, I suppose.
Some say Steve Harris wasn't satisfied with the final result, so the documentary must be re-edited. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to release it after the whole tour, completely illogical and different from all other artist did/do.
Anyway, we will see how the tour did at the end of the year. Now, even on markets such as LATAM, the sales aren't as good as we could expect. I don't wanna think what would happen if the SAm. organizers announce a Metallica tour planned for September (some rumours).
A setlist with many unexpected songs played only at Knebworth could attract more people than the same show and setlist as a year ago. To me, it's obvious.
Knebworth is an enormous venue with a capacity of 125k. Even 40k here is a poor result. Maiden should be booked as the headliner of Download Festival. 50 Year Anniversary and their 9th headlining at Donington! On the other side, even Knebworth could be successful if they organized a Very Special...
I'm aware of those words from Rod, but the question is about the sales. Bigger venues = more expensive tickets and the expectation that the band will attract more people. It's hard to think about 10k people at a 50k capacity stadium as a success. 2026 showed us all that filling big venues around...
