I don't think Maiden would be the festival first choice but it could happen, although I can see Lisbon being the last show of the EU leg, so probably not.
The most logical thing to do would be to play festivals only, but in some countries they don't even have one for Maiden. So they must have more than a couple of headline stadium/arena shows.
Hellfest is a given.
It would be weird if they don't do Download, but they could play the stadium in Cardiff instead.
I would say the Olympiastadion in Munich could be an option, but I've read it's going to be closed next year. Allianz Arena instead?
Spain it's either having another big show...
Doesn't matter what I say. The stadium has not even that high capacity for shows. They could've sell out it for sure, but it wasn't available, same thing with Robbie Williams
The tour is ending in 2026. It's not "Run For Your Lives Tour 2025-2027".
Next year will surely include Europe, probably 20/25 shows. Mostly festivals, since their offers will be higher than ever. Some stadiums will appear as well (they don't have festivals for them in countries like Portugal...
The crew will build and try out the stage production way before Maiden will go to the venue.
The band already know what's going on, they just need one day to do a proper rehearsal with the full stage. That's usually when fans overhear something from the arena.

Sadly no new photos with bananas, but the band will stay in Split up until May 25th.
If they're coming back to Europe next year (which I'm sure they will), they will come back for festivals and an handful of headline shows. I can't see them doing more than a month of tour here. They could also scrap Asia and Australia and go directly to the Americas, same as 2022.
