My guess is ATG will be quite early in the set.
Open with CSIT and do 2 or 3 more, then approx 5th or 6th in the set ATG, the first 'epic'.
A few more songs from Senjutsu with hell on earth towards end of main set, 9th or 10th.
Writing on the wall and wasted years in the encore.
They're 100% not skipping eastern Europe and those will be the best dates as the future is nearer and afterwards the past will be further in the past than all the other dates :cool::cool::cool::fencing::fencing::edmetal::edmetal::edmetal::edmetal:
This time it will probably be mainly arenas though, whereas a lot of those shows were outdoors or in stadiums last time, so even if the demand isn't as big cause they just played there a few months ago it'll still be enough to probably sell out arenas in most of these places within a few days of...
I hope this is true as I would be able to make at least 1 or 2 of these.
Is there a reason why you think the central/eastern European leg will be announced on Thursday in particular?
He seems to be making a fist at it for now, time will tell though, he was lip syncing at his couple of appearances this year. I have had my ticket for this tour for over 4 years :D
I will try and avoid the setlist, don't use Instagram, will avoid this site and block recommended videos on Youtube for a couple of weeks. Last tour I was at Zagreb on the first night but I managed to go blind into Legacy of the Beast part 1 and the Book of Souls tour as well.
Have tickets...
They did 3 nights in Italy in 2016 and in 2018 as well so they do seem to sometimes make the arrangement that when they're headlining a festival it isn't always their exclusive appearance for the year there.
2018 started end of May and ran until mid August so who knows maybe we will get dates...
Yeah Idk, I guess it has to be after Wacken or maybe they're just doing Hellfest, but seems crazy that they're just gonna do 1 festival in France and 1 festival in Italy on this whole leg?!
My guess is Hellfest + 2 nights in Paris
Then beginning of the tour at end of May Central Europe (2 or 3 of: Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Croatia etc.) + Greece (and hopefully Bulgaria or Romania).
*Exception could be they stay on and play Sziget in Hungary the weekend after Wacken?
Also...
I think we, the fans, are as much to blame as the band/management for not doing many of the things we want but 'think they couldn't afford' because they can not spend the money on those things, and we all just buy tickets a year in advance anyway!
I would say it largely depends on whenever more European festivals announcing Iron Maiden as their headliners.
I know the band's plan was to play more indoor shows for this tour, but they would have been booked in to headline some festivals more than 2 years in advance, which COVID then messed...
I would be surprised if it isn't 5 songs from each. They love putting hints in promo material, there are no coincidences when it comes to Iron Maiden announcements, it really encourages my tinfoil-hat-wearing tendencies.
Fingers crossed for a more stripped down set for this tour.
Somewhere in Time stageset that remains on stage for most of the gig, then just rolling posters for TWOTW and the Senjutsu songs.
The flamethrower during Icarus and flag and costume for The Trooper is cool but I can live without Bruce...
