I am sure that Iron Maiden could have found a drummer who could have copied Nicko almost perfectly or extremely well. They obviously didn't want that. (Not unusual, by the way, when looking for a replacement in a band.) Therefore, I don't think it's logical to believe that “Infinite Dreams”...

Bruce is delighted. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj69w51j7y0o

But cramming a monster Iron Maiden tour into one year and keeping the next year free of Iron Maiden tours just because Bruce wants to tour with his solo album? Doesn't sound plausible to me.

They must have plans for 2027 (recording new music?) for which they want to have enough time. Otherwise, this huge tour in one year doesn't make sense to me. It can feel exhausting and frustrating to be on the road for so long, even if you actually enjoy touring.

I'm a little surprised that Bruce, who seems to enjoy taking photos with fans at other events, has never offered a limited number of slots fans can purchase at an Iron Maiden show.

Wasn't it already known that something like “Iron Maiden theme worlds” will be built there?

A documentary film about Paul's life and career will be brought to cinemas next year and will be shown at film festivals.

I think the “insider” claims in the fan forum are what was meant above. I hope this is the right strategy. Sometimes, despite long breaks, it can feel like you've been on tour all year, and that can make you think you don't want to do it anymore. On the other hand, Bruce seems to be constantly...

Yes, but interestingly, he still seems to have approached Steve regarding a new Maiden album.

Isn't it possible that the tickets will reappear as resales?

Blaze is going to headline the Eternal Flame Metal Festival in Sarajevo (13 and 14 February 2026).

I always thought it was best to join the fan club presale as early as possible. But I've heard from several people that they didn't see the tickets they wanted at that early stage, but when they logged back in hours later, some were available.

They don't need a month and a half to transfer to another continent. Their logistics should be better than that. Yes, I agree. If they wanted to, they could.

I think we'll get a larger European leg and a smaller rest of the world leg than in the original plans for this tour.

An above-average number of rumors and assumptions that do not seem to be true this time. Just coincidence or this?

Steve was desperate to play at the Sabaton Open Air Festival. https://guitar.com/news/music-news/how-steve-harris-convinced-sabaton-open-air-festival/

"Rock am Ring" is sold out, but "Rock im Park", mentioned above in the initial post, is not. I hope no one from Maiden gets confused and shows up at the wrong festival. :D

An excerpt from the upcoming issue of Metal Hammer, from which we can learn something at least about Adrian's relationship with Nicko and perhaps also a little about the future of Maiden. Metal Hammer Germany, November 2025 My Translation AS: "Simon has joined us and he knows that Nick was an...

In "Talk is Jericho", Bruce explains it like this: "We’re doing it, everybody on the floor, with the intention of keeping it all. Not with, ‘Oh, we’re gonna do it, everybody on the floor, and then we’re gonna keep the drums and re-record everything.’ No! The idea is, we’re gonna keep it all...

The financial aspect does indeed seem to be an important factor. For example, most bands play both Rock im Park and Rock am Ring, but it is entirely possible to negotiate playing only one of the festivals. It's not the case that if one of these festivals fits in well with your schedule, that...
