Muenchen for H's 69th birthday is tempting.

Tickets to Manchester Ritz bought , O2 presale. £80 for 2 so not too bad, £65 before the pointless fees were added .

I’m up for that! I bought two standing tickets this morning with O2 Priority.

Excellent. Ticket for London bought today thanks to the Planet Rock presale. Very reasonable price (£44.25).

Bummer that there's no stop in Copenhagen yet Gothenburg and Stockholm got one each

Köln Germany is the most important cultural hub. It is the only city that is correctly written in the local language on the Iron Maiden page including the 2 points ö (when the English language version is completely different).

New H interview:

There are quite a few skipable sections as the Italians always opt for translation instead of subtitles.

02.03.2026 there will be Smith&Kotzen show in Poland but this is monday. Why :-(

The first chart positions of the Black Light/White Noise album are not impressive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Light/White_Noise#Charts
A way worse than the first album scored back in 2021. I don't think there will be a big live tour in 2026.

You were wrong (thankfully) about the tour but you probably have a point regarding album sales. I went to my local HMV today and the Smith/Kotzen CD was in the Offers section, with £5.50 knocked off the original price. They had several copies of the album on sale…

I have the impression that when it comes to such albums/bands/collaborations and their results, the main problem is marketing. Artists don't typically consider such projects their primary source of income, so there's less pressure to sell them. This is worse for sales, but better for the albums themselves, IMO.
