If so then I´m going! Not really a festival guy though. (only went to Graspop 3 times)
For better or worse, Bruce is surely making all the decisions, not Roy Z. It is his solo career and he is the boss.
the fans want pure metal arrangements.
I don't know if Bruce likes to do boss things other than creative directions.That's very likely, but I'd also point out that it was Roy who brought in both, Mistheria and Moreno for the recording of Tyranny & Mandrake albums and on Tyranny of Souls EPK Bruce praised Roy for being able to just find these musicians. So it might very well be that Roy had a big say when it comes to this lineup.
Then again, O’Callaghan is most likely involved due to recent touring experiences with Bruce, so that might speak for Bruce being solely in charge of putting this band together.
...so I'm not making much of a point at all, eh. Oh well.![]()

Truths.I don't know if Bruce likes to do boss things other than creative directions.
Well, I would suggest that doing a Maiden show is much more taxing on the boy compared with a solo show. Less running about, less physically demanding word salad.More than 40 solo shows in addition to the Maiden tour. It is going to be a busy year for Bruce!
Funnily enough, this is the same guy who had a robust discussion with Rod Smallwood after the 2011 TFF tour to make sure that Maiden would not play so many shows per calendar year!![]()
His voice is gonna be fried at the end of the year.Well, I would suggest that doing a Maiden show is much more taxing on the boy compared with a solo show. Less running about, less physically demanding word salad.
But yes, I take the general point, 40 solo shows won't be no walk in the park.
He is playing smaller venues on this tour.Man I hope there's going to be a presale of some sort for these dates. House of Culture is a small place, might even be the smallest show he's played since TCW tour?
Going to Budapest, Helsinki and Tallinn, thinking about Mystic Festival aswell.
Gröna Lund is a 10 000 capacity venue. You'll be fineMan I hope there's going to be a presale of some sort for these dates. House of Culture is a small place, might even be the smallest show he's played since TCW tour?
Yeah, I'm in.
Grona Lund is such a great venue for concerts. I saw The Cult there back in 2010 (they were great).

This will be a normal leg of a tour for Maiden these days. Bruce will be do 2 tours in one year, I never expected that. Maybe in 2005. I hope his voice will be fine-to-good for the Maiden shows (and Maiden ofc will use those shows for the live album/video...), because the material is always challenging.Well, I would suggest that doing a Maiden show is much more taxing on the boy compared with a solo show.

Well, let’s be honest, the clock is ticking on Maiden’s career at this point. I’m fully prepared for Future Past 2024 to be the last time I ever see the band live, because it will have been 6 years since their last stop here on Legacy, and everybody’s in their 60s at this point. If they’re serious about calling it quits when Nicko can’t play anymore, and he’s the oldest of the bunch (and already had one stroke), then the end is in sight already.Playing so many shows could mean that Bruce will want to restart his solo career and continue making new albums & tours in the future, alongside his Maiden career.
I want Adrian Smith back.![]()
