Hopefully not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

If there is Europe, it will be summer. The rest of the tour will likely look like 2024 TFP IMO.

I think if they do a smart lineup, let's say with Megadave and Alter Bridge or even Halestorm, they could do stadiums IMO. They won't co-headline as there is too much pride and ego involved. I think if Rod makes them a stadium-headlining act in NA, that's his life's work done.

I'm very interested in what they do in terms of venue size in North America.

If they reduce dates in North America, an European run next year is possible. I see this like there are 2 scenarios. 2024 TFP or 2017 TBOS.

I was listening to Simon more closely. I think some songs are great and some are a bit iffy. Biggest example are Rime and 2 Minutes. The first is great, but the second was littered with strange fills.

Well, Poland show was great. Band was in great mood again, Bruce sang really well. The only downside was the sound at the stadium which is notoriously bad. But Pooch did his magic and it got much better during Powerslave.

Ahhh okay. Standard procedure then.

No drinks and food at the venue? No bars inside?

I meant Simon... Just to clarify. I won't take anything from Nicko for 2023 and 2024. That was heroic.

Nick can still play fast. It's the fills and the coordination that cause problems. Like the infamous CSIT speeding up during each fill, which caused Adrian to lose it after his solo (Nicko sped up the song by 15 BPM), That was during his worst 2024 patch of shows, when he was, per Bruce, in a...

I think this was just another case of Nicko's tongue-in-cheek ranting. It looks like he is trying to ruffle some feathers in Maiden camp in text form. That said, my friend, who is a drummer, is a bit pissed off with Simon. In his words, he didn't pay enough attention to details and is playing...

I think them personally are there for decision making and they are getting paid via personal companies. So, I think Nicko has no more decision making rights, while he is still getting paid by Iron Maiden LLP via his company (and is still a non-touring band member). I think they are all getting...

All members resigned personally and their personal holdings companies are active members IIRC. Current status is: 5 members are active members personally, while Nicko is only a member via his holdings company (as are the others). Nicko also resigned from Iron Maiden Touring LLP. That company...

Well, there is the Rime mistake from Budapest... But not much else.

Just seen that Metal Pilgrim has a new video that states that new album is debunked... (didn't watch it) So, it's possible. Although unlikely.

New H interview: There are quite a few skipable sections as the Italians always opt for translation instead of subtitles.

Rest in Peace Ozzy. He departed on his own terms. He himself has stated that he wants to do the final gig and then go. Another legend gone.

Not a few months. A few weeks. This is interesting.

Forgot to mention this after Vienna... To me it stuck out how bad this stage setup is for stadium shows. I was basically 1/3 of the floor from the left stand (think inner edge of the left screen), approximately 20 meters from stage at Ernst Happel in Vienna. I couldn't see 10% of the stage...
