    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Amazing how someone says, that Nicko decided it this week and people believe it. I don't believe it that Nicko would just say I know you guys planned this awesome 50th anniversary tour, but I don't feel like doing it. Out of respect for band mates and Maiden organization he definetly gave his...

    Well, it would be awesome if they now open the set with Where Eagles Dare. Nice way to introduce the new guy and kinda symbolic way to male that transition. I would prefer Eagles more than Moonchild or Be Quick or Be Dead.

    Well, it was expected to happen at some point, but I would have guessed that Nicko will be part of the 50th anniversary tour. Sad, but life goes on. In terms of setlist it might change things. I was hoping to hear Afraid to shoot Strangers, because it would have made sense, being easier song for...

    It would be cool if they start the show with Trooper. Give the casuals straight what they want and at the same time get it out of the way for hard core fans. And who knows, it might give the song a fresh approach. Definetly would be one of the more unique openers (a la Number of the Beast 2003).

    Recently, Maiden have played 3 epics per tour (Red and Black, Book of Souls, Powerslave; Clansman, FTGGOG, Sign of the Cross; Alexander, Celts, Hell on Earth). So what epics might Maiden play RFYL tour? Phantom seems 95% confirmed, Rime seems also quite possible, so that leaves one more spot...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Does anybody know what's the reason that Maiden doesn't offer soundboard recordings for fans? Within Temptation performed in Tallinn couple of weeks ago and I think at the end of the concert they offered soundboard recording from the show via QR code. I guess they do it at every show. But why...

    Anyone have idea, why Warsaw show hasn't been sold out? To me it has seemed Poles are pretty dedicated fans and during Future Past tour Bruce mentioned that the 2 Polish shows in Krakow were the best ones.

    Again Be Quick or Be Dead? I remember it was heavily rumoured in forums before the LotB tour without any concrete evidence (tour poster supposedly indicated it but it indicated lot of songs that didn't came to fruition). So why are people so sure it will happen this time?

    What do you guys think, if covid hadn't altered Maiden's plans, would we have still got RFYL in this format? 2020 would have been LOTB third leg with one new song from Senjutsu. 2021-2022 would have been Senjutsu album tour. 2023-2024 would have been Somewhere in Time dedicated tour with...

    Has anybody tried to get standing tickets to Bratislava? I got 2 seat tickets but it seemed standing are gone. Did anybody else has this probleem? It's weird because it seems it is possible to get first night Budapest standing tickets, but not Bratislava.

    What do you guys think, is the Bratislava gig gonna be sold out in pre sales or will there be enough tickets for general sale when it comes live on Thursday?

    I think they haven't planned RFYL tour part ll. They will tour 2025/2026 and after that it's all based on a feeling and health. I think they are okay if RFYl tour is their last tour, but if they feel they can still give good performance then we might get new album + reunion era based setlist (+5...

    I think I now understand why the tour is designed as it is. If your going to do stadium tour, you want as many casuals as possible to react to as much 80's/hits tags as possible. Name of the tour - lyrics of one of your biggest hits. Eddie image - pure 80's with the street background, axe...

    Run For Your Lives! Setlist speculation thread

    I think they are not going to play 16 song setlist. My thoughts - I think (or hope) that show's epics are going to be 7th son, Rime and Phantom. The Flight of Icarus (not played on supposed tour, but later still found a way to the set) of the tour is gonna be Infinite Dreams. Moonchild gonna...

    Does somebody know how does the presale system work? Like how much tickets can be sold during pre sales? Can Maiden fan club presale sell like idk 20-30% of the venue's maximum capacity or if there's enough demand all tickets can be sold? And after Maiden presale there's Live Nation's...

    Some time has passed from the new tour announcement, but I'm still little disappointed. I will definetly go to the show, but it's bit of a letdown. I'm not usually the complaining type, but at the moment I'm not too impressed. Firstly, the theme of the tour. They have proudly said time after...

    Run For Your Lives! Setlist speculation thread

    Nobody's putting 7th son (the song) in their predicted setlist? Bruce hinted that he wants do to it. Why not have Rime and 7th son in one setlist. They have Hell on Earth and Death of the Celts (+Alexander, Fear, Heaven can wait, Time Machine) in one setlist at the moment.

    Maybe the reason why don't play in Greece is that promoters can't guarantee that there will be no flares at the show. If I were Bruce I would definetly demand no flares policy, if they can't provide that then no show.

    I am also not interested in documentary, but some started to rumour it few days ago. But I seriously hope that you are right about another tour covering post FOTD to present day. But that will mean it will take place in 2027/2028. Do they (especially Nicko?) really last until then? Seems quite...
