There's been a bit of discussion in the interviews thread. But my take is that it's meaningless. https://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/iron-maiden-news-links-and-interviews.19883/page-300#post-1058273

That's not a clue about anything.

That is an Olympic level of stretching. It would involve Maiden writing a new song/album before the future past tour started, creating an artwork with a hidden reference so that they can reveal it later. Not a chance. It's bad when there so little going on in the Maiden camp that people resort...

I think it's hard to call without them having said anything about the tour. For now I'd say 90% bog standard greatest hits set with a couple of curve balls thrown in.

That was a good read. For the most interesting bit was this: I know Steve has mentioned just becoming a studio band after retiring from touring, but maybe if Bruce is interested too there's more chance it would actually happen.

Yeah Bruce seems to be running out of a bit of vocal steam the last few songs. Dropping a half or full step would really suit his voice these days.

Anyone who believes in God is by definition NOT an atheist...

Honestly other than having to change the high notes at end of each chorus that sounds fine to me. To sound that good when you have a cold is really impressive.

Normally he teases that with something like "we'll see you in a muddy field in Derby"

Hearing Nicko rolling down the toms at the end of RTTH really put a smile on my face. It's tough hearing the songs without their usual fluid drums, but I think some of this is down to playing alongside an orchestra rather than your bandmates you've spent 40+ years playing with. Really keen to...

The Mountbatten gig is now premiering on YouTube. Not sure how far in Nickos appearance is.

Yeah there's no reason that they all need to fly to the south of France just to have a meeting. If its just Bruce/Adrian/Nicko then they're likely just having a holiday together. If we can get ACTUAL confirmation that Jan/Dave/Steve are around too then something is going on. It's too early...

The thing that will confirm a new album is when social posts start disappearing!

We know that during studio down time they do stray quite a bit, (usually weekends, but Nicko may have pushed for some more time off around his anniversary) and I'm sure heading south was something they've done in the past.

If we get confirmation that Steve/Jan/Dave are in France too then something is definitely going on.

Yeah that's most likely I think. Rehearsals started in March/April if I remember correctly?

She mentions that they worked together 9/10 months, then he went out on tour. That doesn't fit in with the timeline of events as we know it?

Have we nailed down exactly what the band are doing in early 2025 that rules out album recording?

Notice he's not said anything about a 2025 tour.

That does seem the most logical plan.
