Exactly, and there's not so high a demand to add dates to the 88 shows booked so far.

OK, I don't think there'll be a need to add some dates.

Probably the band'll announce soon.

Yes, I think they have a real chance this year. They completely ignored the nomination and the award, but - as we know, they are just the sole metal artist on the list! Probably fan votes won't help them (metal/rock fans just ignoring that), but they probably will be awarded the same as Priests...

Generally, you are right, but we think about States - it's an American market, accolade, and mentality. This year IM has a real chance to be inducted with the other 7 or 8 artists.

Yes, last time they got the Kanagawa dates wrong. The first date in Tokyo should sell fast. I'm wondering about Auckland.

Apart from the management, which booked 56 shows mostly at stadiums and big festivals around the world with a combined capacity of circa 2 million. Writing about things haven't gone "as good as in 2025," I thought about fast sales and increased fans' activity, something we can't experience if we...

Exactly, so I thought it's fake.

"2nd show in Auckland seems likely" Who knows, but one thing 2026's learned me - being careful with estimating ticket sales results. Everything seemed to be as good as in 2025, but not this time. I hope the 7 shows in Oceania and Japan will sell 70k at least. It'd would be just good but not...

Yes, but Bruce has revealed his own opinion on RNRHoF, and finally they should do what is GOOD For The BAND as an institution. Iron Maiden is a much bigger phenomenon than its individual members. Feel respect for Bruce anyway.

It's 'Arry's band, Bruce is important, but he speaks on behalf of himself. If they decide to induct the band, fact would be assured. Sex Pistols ignored the ceremony and induction, but - of course, they're inducted anyway. RNRHoF is important, especially in the States. Maiden musicians know...

To me, it's simple. Blaze's era is less successful than the former ones. Many small shows, new albums weren't the bestsellers, Maiden was in crisis back in the day. RNRHoF is a popularity contest; Blaze isn't recognized as an important vocalist, musician, or persona. We, the fans, realize the...

I prefer Maiden saying goodbye at their prime, than continuing their career at any cost, even when their popularity fades, and they play small arenas again. It's better to end history on fire!

I think so, maybe it's just a rumour. If they won't add a third date next week, there's no chance.

Iron Maiden Brasil states on 24 Oct.

Second show if the first one sells very fast.

Next week? https://wmgk.com/2026/02/26/iron-maiden-expected-to-expand-50th-anniversary-stadium-tour/

Isn't it too big? But who knows?

Probably Western Springs Stadium in Auckland.

Probably they will announce Oceania first.
