No, it's just been discussed but there's nothing pointing in that direction. The contrary I would say.

I know that everyone is caught up on the NA tours but Copenhell have now scheduled Maiden for June 24:th, which means that Tons of Rock/Oslo will be on the 26:th 25:th (not yet scheduled publicly). So that concludes the France -> Denmark -> Norway -> back to France itinerary. Of course, there's...

I can travel around the world just to hear that extended middle portion of Seventh Son just one last time. But that's probably just me.

Feel free to speculate on what that would be. I mean, there's no "Nicko's not doing well" to bring to the table and Bruce certainly has all the energy he needs nowadays. Of course, an update regarding other band members' health status would always come out of the blue if there weren't rumors...

The news got released the 20:th of october 2022. Maiden were the first to be announced along with a few other main acts.

It's been like that at least since Powerslave. I can't think of any other band that has this level of "packaging" several years of activity based on a single album release and its cover. It's always been important for Maiden, not just when album sales went down. And I'm convinced album sales has...

Agreed. I don't think they've decided yet. They are running through the anniversary as a life goal for this band and they haven't had the very serious discussion yet of what the future holds, eventhough I'm sure it's on everyones mind. Either they give us the news (whatever it is) during the...

I think the 50th anniversary was a huge existential thing for Steve and now that they are in the middle of it, it's that and that only. Prior to that, things seemed shaky with both Bruce and Nicko, with Nicko ultimately leaving (and Bruce somehow actually found new energy with his "instrument")...

You need a great amount of casuals to fill up a stadium of 40-60 000 seats. Fans, both nerds like us and your average co-worker who likes "not just Run to the Hills" are indeed interested in the setlist, but you need more people than that to fill up a huge arena. I'm not surprised they have...

Oh that would be fantastic! Sneak edits from a random outdoor show to paint over the mistakes from the one recorded show in Paris... who's gonna know?!

Really sorry for that. Lesson learned.

Nobody knows anything man miss, but this forum is all about pretending we are in their heads to give an opinion.

Airon Maiden > Iron Maiden

Maybe not perfect for you (or me), but for their legacy. And I think legacy is important for this band (and Steve).

It's just that ending everything with RFYL is going out with a bang! There's obviously a reason for releasing both art book and documentary in time for the NA tour and not earlier. They need to be on everyone's lips if they are going to sell out stadiums. And I think they will succeed. And after...

In Steve's head, a new album is like a 3 year project with writing, recording, release, promotion and then, as there's always been in the past, touring. A break for 2027 doesn't fit that kind of schedule. So of course there's hesitation here, unless he is willing to break himself free from his...

I think some of you are hoping for something that might not happen. Only festivals have been announced since the first press release and depending on how you interpret these few lines, no other announcements than festivals are to be expected. I agree with a second night for Paris regarding the...

As a Swede, I am totally eying the possibility to go to Oslo this time. Sweden Rock is both far away and bad in terms of scheduling for my kind of work. I hope the actual date for Oslo isn't too far away however (and the ability to buy single day tickets).

Sweden Rock on June 4:th is the same kind of problem going to France, Norway/Denmark and then back to France in between gigs every second day. And that is totally happening.

It's more about festival promotion strategies than Iron Maiden ltd in this case. For instance, they won't disclose dates for IM for these festivals until a large amount of festival packs have been sold.
