They will also play in Wacken.

That is what I mean. Announcing the dates earlier has only advantages. Those who need to plan earlier can do so. Those who want to buy later can do so as well. There is also no reason why a second round of heavy promotion of the shows couldn't be next year, e.g. together with the release of...

Can somebody tell me any advantages of announcing the dates so late? The sooner the ticket sales start, the better. Something must have gone wrong with the planning of this tour.

I don't see any problem with posting negative or positive opinions. It is a discussion forum. However, more than one quote has just confirmed very clearly that this is not what they are planning, i.e. to retire soon to go out on a high.

You can hear Blaze on Sonic Metaphors' new single. https://digidi.net/SonicMetaphors/release/black-shadows

Take photos with fans, of course. At the comic convention. He only doesn't like that if it would be at an Iron Maiden show. :huh:

There is a year without touring.

If that is true, then something must not be completely finalised yet. Otherwise, this would only have disadvantages. The ticket sale would also have a (then second) boost from the documentary coming out next year, if it had been started now and Christmas presents and travel planning for next...

Yes, he is highly regarded. The title will be: “Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer.” Could “lost” also be wordplay? I don't want to make false assumptions, since English is not my native language.

I am sure Steve is heartbroken that George has such serious medical problems that he can no longer play with The Raven Age. Apparently, no expert could be found to fully diagnose and treat him.

True. It is by Wes Orshoski, who also produced "Lemmy".

Why do you know that 100 %? A lot of fans believed there would be a third European leg in 2027. The sales would have been as good or better then.

What, only Germany gets Megadeth on their last tour? That would have interested me. :grumble:

Didn't they also say there would be dates on the West coast added? I am still tying to understand what Maiden gains by not confirming everything. If there are no Asia/Australia dates, maybe that would be the final reason some fans would want to plan a trip to Europe for example? That could be a...

Iron Maiden (and other bands) signed a letter asking the UK government to limit the prices of concert tickets that are resold on the secondary market. https://www.rock101.net/2025/11/13/radiohead-iron-maiden-more-sign-open-letter-calling-for-cap-on-resale-ticket-prices/

No, that is Katja Krasavice. I would have never thought that Bruce could be into her.

This is the tour where the most predictions, assumptions, rumours, about where/when they would start, where they would play, which shows would be added etc. were wrong.

Why is all of that such a problem "at their age" when it is clearly not for so many artists of the same age or older?

But what would you expect Nicko to say when he is asked this question? He will and can not confirm that they are planning a new album. He also can not answer that he doesn't know anything. After talking about being still a member of the band that would also be odd. So saying there are no plans...
