I have yet to read a convincing explanation as to why a band that only wants to tour would organize such a strenuous, long tour in one year and then do nothing the next, instead of splitting the tour up, e.g., the European part in 2027. There would still be enough time for solo activities for...

That's just advertising jargon to make people feel like they have to buy, because otherwise there might not be another opportunity for a very, very long time.

Why do you think that? I would say it's the opposite, namely confirmation that they will continue in 2028. I was just about to write that now we know that.

The documentary was supposed to be shown at the Berlin Film Festival (February 12, 2026 – February 22, 2026). However, I can't find it in the program. Does anyone know anything more about this?

Metal Hammer Germany's next issue features the results of its reader survey covering the year 2025. Results: Best band of all time Best artists of 2025 Best concert of 2025 Iron Maiden Iron Maiden Iron Maiden

I thought there wouldn't be any guests because Bruce himself had said so in an interview some time ago. Apparently, he forgot about that already. :D

"Yes, you've neglected me a little lately, but I don't want flowers. The song about Lord Iffy will make for a good enough apology already..." :eek:

I believe we can say that there will be no guest appearances this time, unlike on the last album (e.g., Gus G.'s solo). And please, no ideas from Leana, something like Sonata as the last song... :D

Is this an interview that took place a while ago (although published now)? I'm confused because in other interviews, Adrian has stated very clearly that there will be a third Smith/Kotzen album, but now he seems unsure and is avoiding the question.

Maybe I misbehaved in 2014? Iron Maiden's management has a strict “no second chances” policy. :D

I didn't get an email, even though I recently received one about discounts in the merch store. Why don't they want me at Knebworth? I'm devastated. :help: :D

Not only James Hetfield, but also Steve Harris. Also Gene Simmons and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill, Sepultura. I'm still torn between whether I want to see this or not.

Wacken also announced Guns N' Roses very late for last year. However, Maiden will not play in Wacken (contract with Rock am Ring/Park). Perhaps the gap is so that the members can go to Wacken on a private basis? :D

:D Antwerp (Promoter: FKP Scorpio Belgium) seems to be seen as a problem. In Germany, ticket sellers were instructed to send out advertising for this show.

I think Hannover is selling very well, considering that they are also performing the same show at two festivals in Germany, and all three shows are in western Germany.

His "Iron Maiden Anniversary" show in Neuenhaus (Germany) in May is already sold out. He will add more dates to his tour.

Did that really happen to Kirk? I have always had the impression that most people believe he only used that as an excuse because he didn't really have any ideas/wasn't working on them.

I disagree. They will have ideas, and some of them will fit Iron Maiden, while others will be more suited to solo projects. In Steve's case in particular, I think he had a lot of ideas that he wouldn't try to realize with British Lion.

Steve Harris: "The band don’t really say, ‘Wow, this is 50 years!’ It’s brought to us by other people like management or whoever is making a bigger fuss about it. We just do what we do. But it is a long, long time. It’s an achievement. We won’t harp on about it ourselves, but we’re aware of...

Wow, I have to admit I'm a little shocked. Casually dropping a statement like “Iron Maiden don't really record anymore” in an interview! It must be a deflection tactic. Otherwise, I'd be wondering what's wrong with Adrian. But it's then also strange that he didn't mention it in the Metal...
