I'm sure I read in this forum that Bruce might have hinted at releasing a video from his tour. I'm frantically searching for the quote, but I'm sure I'm not imagining things. I thought the end of the year would be a good time for this?

I don't think Iron Maiden had any influence on this documentary, which follows Paul's life.

To me this sounds as if views of people obsessed with Iron Maiden's retirement have even reached Steve. What a shame. I wish I were an insider and had a way to tell Steve that most people don't want that and that he should ignore it. (He's obviously not at the moment. He even mentioned it in an...

It's simply a fact that it's striking and strange that there will be a whole year without a tour, given that Steve emphasises his love of touring so much. I see two possibilities: First: He wants to make time for the next Iron Maiden album. Second: The statement was a little trick to boost...

I've wondered about that myself. It would be an easy way to make additional money. I think the fans would be fine with just Bruce, not the whole band. At first I thought that was the reason, but it's not really a very convincing explanation.

I think that after Bruce and Rod's recent comments, and also Adrian's comments a while back, we have to consider the theory that they are a family where everyone will retire when the next one leaves the band to be disproved, whether we like it or not. They will retire when Steve no longer wants...

Does no one have any inside information about what might be behind this, or even why the European shows originally planned for 2027 (I think) were instead moved to before the Rest of the World Tour of 2026?

Bruce seems to be on a vacation trip. At first glance, I thought Tanya was traveling with him (probably because of the hair), but Tanya has a more natural face, not so plastic-looking.

I don't know. How can he confirm it if it is not settled? And there must have been more than just a few details missing or it could have been fixed. Maybe it never was true.

This is not a rumor. It is an official announcement on www.ironmaiden.com. We have to accept it, even if we don't like it. https://www.ironmaiden.com/second-show-added-in-new-jersey/

Didn't anyone ask him why that makes any sense? Why should this be discussed at Live Nation? Doesn't the band make the decision and then just inform Live Nation? And nine months before the shows, nothing has been decided or organized, but there's just a bit of discussion?

Shouldn't a moderator intervene in an official fan club forum and post that this person is not someone with insider knowledge? Otherwise, fan club members might miss out on the tickets they wanted because they are pointlessly waiting for these new dates?

Maybe if Bruce started to dye his hair this would get better? ;)

Has anyone come across this list? I saw it on the Internet, but I have no idea where it comes from or who might have made it, a fan or if it could really be in preparation for release by Maiden.

True. It wouldn't have been impossible at all, on the contrary, it would have been quite easy to organize the shows in a way that includes Wacken. The gap between July 11 and August 20 is quite long. A weird tour. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it, of course.

My speculation is that at least some things were originally planned differently but are being modified now relatively late in the process—for reasons I don't know, perhaps at the request of the members, for other reasons, I have no clue. That is why everything is taking longer than usual.

How was it done in 2023, when they also played Sweden Rock?

They urgently need money. Would you please start believing me. :D

You also have to take into account that normally, when the announcement is imminent, there are already lots of rumors. At the moment, there are zero rumors.

I am certain that something significant has happened/changed. First, the extensive second phase in Europe, which no one predicted, and now there are not even strong rumors that the remaining dates will be announced soon. No one predicted that either. This is very unusual.
