2027 its far. The next 2 years they will touring. Im not sure if they will record another one. I mean there are a lot of old bands doing that but maiden tours are bigger. Steve said something about being retired and record albums

Are they really? They might span over 2 or 3 calendar years, but other bands play a similar number of gigs, if not more, and release new music more often than Maiden.

The point is to compare apples with apples.
Is there any other metal group being in the industry 40 ~50 years that is considerably more productive than Maiden? Productivity as of number of highly production value gigs & studio albums. Genuine question, I can't bring anyone in mind.

Saxon springs to mind. Ok they aren’t as big as Maiden but they’re a lot older (biff is 73 and still singing well) and they do big tours and play some decent sized venues.

They’ve released 10 studio albums during Maidens reunion years (roughly every 2 years) compared to Maiden releasing 6.

UDO also comes to mind. If I am not mistaken, 13 new studio albums during Maiden reunion years, with extensive touring to support them and, in recent times, working as Dirkschneider playing the Accept classics live too.

Few bands and not at iron maiden level. I mean iron maiden tours now is 1 year europe 1 year usa and south america and other places. So 2 years for the same tour.

Where you see 1 year I see 3-4 months of touring at most followed by huge gaps without any activity (apart from coming up with new merchandising). :)

Their days if intensive touring are a thing of the (very) distant past.
