Not necessarily, as certain imagery can very well support songs from different albums than where the visual clue are initially from. I don't believe that they'd just run through the iconic visual landscapes anyway, but mix them up with something new, like the speculated big set piece for...

Props would be a lot more Maidenish way to scale up the show, though. And has it actually been stated anywhere that they'd be using screens that much more anyway? I mean, sure, they've mentioned that they'll be presenting show elements they haven't done before, but they've already used bit of...

Perhaps! Jerusalem was quite an important song in the set though and got a lot of play, but for that reason it is totally possible that it might not be played quite as much this year. Many Doors to Hell wasn't exactly a set regular after the first part of the tour last year (basically dropped at...

I wonder if Nicko will still be the one to drop some setlist spoilers. :innocent:

Sign of the Cross gained some significant status for being on Rock in Rio, though. And I'm glad it did, as it was one of the highlights on the Legacy tour and I'm so grateful for seeing it live four times. I think the realistic options on No Prayer & Fear of the Dark are more or less limited to...

Adrian's family has evacuated as the wildfire in California reached the edge of their neighborhood. It's looking quite grim for the locals in general. I hope any potential MaidenFans folks out there are safe! On a lighter note, Adrian's wife Nathalie confirmed on her Instagram videos that the...

I don't want to nitpick too much, but the Maiden England 2012-14 version of the Eddie wasn't an inflatable. ;) On 1988 tour it definitely was, and not a very good looking one, haha! But yeah, it's absolutely stunning artwork indeed and one of their the best album sleeve artworks overall! I'm...

Well yeah, the more "lively" shape is definitely a thing that I like in the Virtual XI stage show! To an extent, I can also appreciate the attempt at... uhh creating that abstract-apocalyptic-video game-end of the world-dungeon-thingy or whatever that visual landscape is trying to be. It just...

That's rather likely, yeah (unless Running Free will be played). I kind of wish that since Run to the Hills is pretty much guaranteed, it would be played somewhere earlier in the set. Bruce has had tough time with The Trooper in the encore, but as a setlist move, I think it's been pretty fresh...

I think that The X-Factor stage & "Big Eddie" are fairly good for what they are trying to be: a scaled-down version of a classic Maiden stage set that brings the album artwork to life. There wasn't much going on, of course, but I think it's a lot more subtle and stylish approach than e.g No...

It's probably due to his older albums not having years and years of a head start on the platform and Blaze releasing new material quite frequently, which naturally gets at least a short interest & stream number spike. I don't remember the exact details, but if I'm not terribly mistaken, Blaze...

No doubt most of the set will consist of the songs listed above, but as it has been for the ~3-4 last tours, I think there is a genuine desire within the band to play a handful of beloved favourites often loved by hardcore fans and casuals alike (e.g Children of the Damned, Revelations, Die With...

Really? I didn't follow international Maiden forums that much at the time, but most of the speculation I came across had more or less clear consensus on Aces High being the most likely opener, especially since the tour announcement strongly hinted towards Powerslave-heavy set & stage show...

I can see the familiar signs of the setlist cycle emergencing - although I have to admit that the Alexander the Great thing isn't that relevant anymore! Especially the three speculation archetypes are already represented: Not saying I'm above daydreaming or wishful thinking that borderlines...

I think people are reading a bit too much into the "2025" (only) mention regarding the Simon Dawnson announcement. I think it is, as @Kalata suggested above, due to only 2025 tour dates being announced so far and kind of calming the situation for the already set & published tour dates. The 2026...

Given how most walk-on & big Eddies betweeen 1998-2005 turned out, I'm kind of glad they didn't... :D

Nice to see this one getting some love! It's probably not my absolute favourite track on The Book of Souls, but I very much like the vibe of it. Granted, I think a more dynamic/airy/crisp/whatever kind of mix and production would've benefited it, as I think the chorus (which I think is a damn...

That is, to my understanding, exactly the case. Other streaming services seem to be very eager to include it to such playlists as well.

I would argue that Wasting Love, with massive streaming numbers, as a single and a music video is not much of a deep cut if we're being strict, but fair enough, it's not exactly 2 Minutes to Midnight etc. tier when it comes to general familiarity. But yeah, we'll see!

They're certainly super skilled & capable of pulling off very impressive renditions of the songs! I have bit of a mixed feelings about the stage show and dressing up like Maiden guys and all; as far as tribute bands go, I tend to prefer more imaginative ways of doing it, where as The Beast...
