Hoping Bruce's voice holds up for the year for Charlotte. 65 dates and counting for 2024

That's a lot of dates in one year.

March 1st we'll get new Bruce and just 7 days later the new Judas Priest. Enjoy this everyone, we may never get the chance to experience something like that again.

Yeah. No doubt about the enjoyment. This is going to be one amazing week, two of my most anticipated albums ever. Btw, Bruce and Priest will release albums in 2024 (like they did in 2005, with Maiden's next album in 2006)... will history repeat? I hope so. After all, a new Maiden album in 2025 is not that impossible.

So maybe there's a chance for a 2nd single in January or February or not. Two music videos from Bruce again?

If Bruce will follow modern release schedules (and I hope he doesn't) there might be even more singles, like one per month or something. Probably without videos, or maybe one "traditional" video and a couple of lyric videos or something.

That's something that is done to try and work the Spotify algorithms. Common "wisdom" is to release singles often and steadily, which can lead to some albums having had half of their songs released before the entire thing drops. I'm an album guy, so it's rather disappointing when bands do that: You finally get the new album, but are familiar with half of it already. Thankfully it is not as prevalent in metal (yet). I hope Bruce doesn't go for that. I obviously wanna hear the material as soon as possible and March 1 is still a while away, but I'd rather be patient and get the proper album experience, than this single-driven release schedule many artists go for.

Sorry for the rant, had to get it out lol
 
I think if it was going to come out this side of Christmas, then I'd be expecting the album press release fairly soon. The fact that the tour is not for months might suggest a drawn out release.

EDIT: just saw on official site, they have a post from Dave Moreno on facebook saying March 1st for the album
 
Bought both Zagreb and Budapest (prices were OK-ish, 41 euro and 48-euro), really looking forward to spending 4 days in Budapest (I only passed through couple of cities in Hungary, but they say Budapest is a "bit" different experience).
I gotta admit I'm entering full fanboi mode again.

Agreed; I like one or two singles as a little taster and then I just wanna have the full album experience. I also dislike when bands release singles after the album, especially nowadays when they don’t even have b-sides to include something interesting as a bonus. I’ve always loved The Beatles’ approach, which was that you can release singles from an album before it gets released, but once it’s out you’ve gotta have new material if you’re gonna drop another single. That’s how you end up with 30+ non album tracks and half of them are as good if not better than anything they released on a proper record.

You can still get the album and don’t listen to the singles. I still do so other than the rare occation there are stand alone songs

Have fun! I have fond memories of the places I have visited combining holidays with gigs of my favourite bands.
 
Is it confirmed that there is no more dates to be announced?
Theres a gap between Oslo 9th June and Germany 16th June. Was hoping that there would be a swedish date outside Sweden Rock Festival

No. It said that some dates are yet to be announced. Probably just in that gap. Second swedish date and a finnish date are a possibillity in my mind.

For the lack of 2nd guitarist on Bruce next tour, it's possible that he will use some special guests, Adrian Smith probably being one of them.

Richie Kotzen said somewhere they had enough stuff for another Smith/Kotzen album. Maybe Janick is more likely if Adrian is tied up working on that?
