    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Just watched Ghost's new single Lachryma and it got me wandering - will Bruce be wearing some kind of mask during Phantom of the Opera. Knowing him and his love for theatrics I would say it's quite possible seeing him wear the famous Phantom mask. It's rather weird he hasn't done it before.

    18th Studio Album discussion

    If releasing documentary in autumn (supposedly) close to North America dates announcement to generate high ticket sales for NA leg, then why wouldn't it be (the best) smart move to release album number 18 in 2026 autumn to generate high album selling numbers in North America? So just after the...

    Bruce Dickinson

    What do we know about Nightmares? Like when it might have been recorded, how long, does it contain slow intro etc? For example, are we sure it can't be Shadow of the Gods?

    Maiden songs everybody seems to like but you dislike?

    Infinte Dreams - lot of fans were disappointed that Maiden didn't play it during Maiden England, but for me I don't care if they play it or not, so I guess that qualifies in this post's theme. Also, Stranger in a Strange Land, again, was nice to hear it during FPT but I wasn't crazy about it, if...

    Iron Maiden News, Links, and Interviews

    Don't you guys have nothing else to talk about than the appearance of band members (and yes I consider Nicko still to be band member)? First it was Bruce's hair and bald spot, now Nicko's facelift. Seems like if there aren't any touring activity or album discussion, the chat goes to some random...

    which one song would you definitely like to have back in the next setlist?

    If they play (and it seems like they will) Phantom and Rime on RFYL, I am happy. If they play those 2 + also Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Afraid to Shoot Strangers, I would be very satisfied. If they play those 4 and also No Prayer for the Dying, I would be extremly happy. If they play...

    Iron Maiden's future

    Nowadays (or I guess maybe people always have been) lots of people seem to have pessimistic views about future. And well that includes also Maiden fans. Maiden can't play this or that song (Caught Somewhere in Time etc), they won't tour in 5 years time etc. But truth be told Maiden guys...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Amazing how someone says, that Nicko decided it this week and people believe it. I don't believe it that Nicko would just say I know you guys planned this awesome 50th anniversary tour, but I don't feel like doing it. Out of respect for band mates and Maiden organization he definetly gave his...

    Well, it would be awesome if they now open the set with Where Eagles Dare. Nice way to introduce the new guy and kinda symbolic way to male that transition. I would prefer Eagles more than Moonchild or Be Quick or Be Dead.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Well, it was expected to happen at some point, but I would have guessed that Nicko will be part of the 50th anniversary tour. Sad, but life goes on. In terms of setlist it might change things. I was hoping to hear Afraid to shoot Strangers, because it would have made sense, being easier song for...

    It would be cool if they start the show with Trooper. Give the casuals straight what they want and at the same time get it out of the way for hard core fans. And who knows, it might give the song a fresh approach. Definetly would be one of the more unique openers (a la Number of the Beast 2003).

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    Recently, Maiden have played 3 epics per tour (Red and Black, Book of Souls, Powerslave; Clansman, FTGGOG, Sign of the Cross; Alexander, Celts, Hell on Earth). So what epics might Maiden play RFYL tour? Phantom seems 95% confirmed, Rime seems also quite possible, so that leaves one more spot...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Does anybody know what's the reason that Maiden doesn't offer soundboard recordings for fans? Within Temptation performed in Tallinn couple of weeks ago and I think at the end of the concert they offered soundboard recording from the show via QR code. I guess they do it at every show. But why...

    Anyone have idea, why Warsaw show hasn't been sold out? To me it has seemed Poles are pretty dedicated fans and during Future Past tour Bruce mentioned that the 2 Polish shows in Krakow were the best ones.

    Again Be Quick or Be Dead? I remember it was heavily rumoured in forums before the LotB tour without any concrete evidence (tour poster supposedly indicated it but it indicated lot of songs that didn't came to fruition). So why are people so sure it will happen this time?

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    What do you guys think, if covid hadn't altered Maiden's plans, would we have still got RFYL in this format? 2020 would have been LOTB third leg with one new song from Senjutsu. 2021-2022 would have been Senjutsu album tour. 2023-2024 would have been Somewhere in Time dedicated tour with...

    Has anybody tried to get standing tickets to Bratislava? I got 2 seat tickets but it seemed standing are gone. Did anybody else has this probleem? It's weird because it seems it is possible to get first night Budapest standing tickets, but not Bratislava.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    What do you guys think, is the Bratislava gig gonna be sold out in pre sales or will there be enough tickets for general sale when it comes live on Thursday?

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I think they haven't planned RFYL tour part ll. They will tour 2025/2026 and after that it's all based on a feeling and health. I think they are okay if RFYl tour is their last tour, but if they feel they can still give good performance then we might get new album + reunion era based setlist (+5...
