From memory Tool had Asian dates booked and for months everyone was commenting "where is Australia" and eventually it was announced they are headlining Good Things with 2 side shows in NZ, so yeah doesn't have any impact logistically really. And it's guarenteed money for the band regardless.

Nah, there has been no official announcement that "no further shows will be added" They wouldn't have clearly stated ROW dates to be announced in the new year and then change their minds lol.

Good Things is usually announced in August, so you would have expected the rest of Asia by now.

Good Things festival has been mentioned before, it could be the reason for the delayed announcement as festival organizers do wait until later in the year, but traditionally it's in December so it might not work, what will fill the gap between SA and Good Things? It's a long haul flight from SA...

How many Maiden fans are big Foos fans and vice versa? The fanbase is pretty different, I think it will be fine especially if Megadeth are also on the bill. In 2016 they had Sabbath and Maiden touring the exact same time too.

It wouldn't be the first time Australia had 2 major bands in the same month Metallica and Oasis were very close to each other last year then they had Tool and ACDC Doubtful any shows will clash if Maiden are there in November too.

I would say arenas is the safe bet, but judging on how most of the tour they are showing a bold preference to pull off stadiums in most territories it's not so far fetched to assume they might try it in Aus too.

They literally had a promotion giving away tickets for $66.66 in 2016 to push sales, I remember it well, and in 2024 for the first time decided not to play Christchurch and do a solo show, the popularity isn't there, a stadium show would completely flop At least in Australia they can sell out...

In NZ they barely sell out a 12k arena, there were still tickets available the day of the show last time, makes no sense trying a stadium there. Either NZ is skipped this time around, or it's an arena show. In Australia they might be able to pull off playing smaller rugby / leauge styled...

Maiden are not a stadium band in those territories, they tried to book 2 stadiums in NZ back in 2009 marketing it the long awaited return after 17 years and had to move the Christchurch show indoors to an arena which only held 10k, and the Auckland show only had pre sales of 12k leading up to...

Guns N Roses will also be there in November, it's looking like a real competitive month now.

Yeah, while some of it does turn out to be credible, most people there seem to think they have some insider info but don't really know more than the rest of us lol.

I guess that's right, with all the additional attractions they probably thought that would be the bigger selling point and could get away with adding average support.

Not sure Maiden were expecting to realistically hit 85k, but they were hoping to top London Stadium sales, otherwise why try a larger capacity venue.

Oasis played 2 nights there and hit 250k sales back in 1996

They wouldn't have said ROW dates will be released in the new year if they didn't plan on actually doing it. Australia, NZ and Japan are not territories they could pull of stadiums, so there is plenty of time to sell arenas for those countries.

I guess that is what this part of the video is referring too.

LMAO. :lol: :facepalm:

Not specifically, but when they have announced Europe, NA, South/Latin America where else will the further dates be ? It's pretty obvious all that is left is Oceania and Asia In a few weeks we will likely see the rest of the dates, then it will say that's all folks.

I'm not surprised, they wanted 200 USD for some of the better sections which is outrageous for their economy.
