Create your own Iron Maiden setlist!

If Senjutsu had an exclusevely dedicated tour:
  1. Senjutsu
  2. Stratego
  3. The Writing On The Wall
  4. Infinite Dreams
  5. The Trooper
  6. The Days Of Future Past
  7. Powerslave
  8. Genghis Khan
  9. Stranger In A Strange Land
  10. Phantom Of The Opera
  11. Still Life
  12. Fear Of The Dark
  13. The Number Of The Beast
  14. Iron Maiden
_________________________________________
  1. Hell On Earth
  2. Out Of The Silent Planet
  3. Run To The Hills
Man, I'm gonna be deadass. This tour would have sucked. All those deep cuts but no "Time Machine", "Death of the Celts", let alone "The Parchment"? It's a hard pass from me.

80s Legacy-style Worlds tour

Futuristic SIT setting

Blade Runner tape
1. Caught Somewhere in Time
2. Stranger in a Strange Land ( a time machine effect on the screens and we travel back in time to late 70s)

London late 70s - early 80s setting
3. Prowler
4. Killers (Killers Eddie)
5. 22 Acacia Avenue

Bruce's first speech.
Seagulls sound (I don't know how albatrosses sound)
Then Bruce says his line...

ROTAM setting (probably a ship or something)
6. Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Ancient Egypt (Powerslave cover)
7. Powerslave
8. Revelations (the setting is slowly changing to Ancient Greece)

Ancient Greece
9. Flight of Icarus (with a flamethrower)
10. Alex intro/ Alexander the Great

Bruce's 2nd speech and band intro
SSOASS setting
11. Moonchild (they play the acoustic part)
12. The Evil That Men Do
13. Seventh Son ( Seventh Son Eddie)

No world for the next 2
14. The Trooper (classic backdrop on the screens)
15. Iron Maiden ( giant Number of the Beast Eddie)
The band says goodnight etc, but the NOTB Eddie returns on the screen.


Encore ( NOTB world)
16. The Number of the Beast
17. Hallowed be thy Name (with Bruce's cell and execution)
18. Run to the Hills (with TNT effect and many pyros)

The time machine is broken now and we're travelling back to 2025.


Encore 2
19. Wasted Years
I know it's a song or two lengthier than it should be. I'd probably just remove Rime to make it realistic, but I wanted to have it there. Other songs considered, but didn't fit the worlds I've chosen or were too much: Phantom, Purgatory, Still Life, Loneliness, Infinite Dreams and OTGDY.
I got rid of the war setting because songs like WED and Aces are too difficult nowadays and wanted to make something that will sound good live. Also, it makes it different to the LOTB tour.

PS: No, I didn't forget Quest for Fire... left it out on purpose. :D:D:D:D

Let's pretend COVID didn't happen... LOTB 2020 would likely have been a continuation of LOTB 2018-19- either with no setlist changes, or maybe with WOTW swapped in in place of 2 Minutes or Clansman depending on how far in advance of the album they released the single. They then would have likely embarked on a more fully-fledged album tour for Senjutsu - I'm assuming some of the "out-of-theme" songs ultimately chosen for Future Past (i.e. Prisoner) likely would have slotted in here instead:

Senjutsu World Tour 2021-2022:
  1. Senjutsu
  2. Stratego
  3. The Writing On The Wall
  4. 2 Minutes To Midnight
  5. Days of Future Past
  6. The Time Machine
  7. The Prisoner
  8. The Parchment
  9. Can I Play With Madness
  10. Hell On Earth
  11. Fear of the Dark
  12. Iron Maiden
  13. The Number of the Beast
  14. The Trooper
  15. Running Free
I'm assuming the original plan was to then do a more full-on Somewhere In Time-focused history tour:

Caught Somewhere On Tour 2023-2024:
  1. Caught Somewhere In Time
  2. Stranger In A Strange Land
  3. The Trooper
  4. Children of the Damned
  5. The Number of the Beast
  6. Sea of Madness
  7. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
  8. Heaven Can Wait
  9. Alexander The Great
  10. Phantom of the Opera
  11. Hallowed Be Thy Name
  12. Iron Maiden
  13. Powerslave
  14. Fear of the Dark
  15. Wasted Years
 
The next tour concept
If there is no new album, I think there is a high chance that the next tour is a reunion tour (especially 00s) + some hits and maybe a surprise or two
Braver different world tour

1. The Wicker Man
2. Ghost of the Navigator
3. Brave New World (these 3 songs in a row is the better way to celebrate the reunion years)
4. Rainmaker
5. These Colours Don't run
6. The Trooper
7. The Reincarnation of BB
8. Futureal (the Blaze era song that deserves more love + it's a fast rocker and I tried to include some of them)
9. Dance of Death (The main epic of the set)
10. The Alchemist ( weird choice, but it has to get played live, also a shorter rocker)
11. Paschendale
12. The Evil that Men Do
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden

Encore
15. Different World
16. Hell on Earth
17. Out of the Silent Planet
 
If there is no new album, I think there is a high chance that the next tour is a reunion tour (especially 00s) + some hits and maybe a surprise or two
Since they split the discography right down the middle for the current tour, they would kind of be required to exclusively play songs from the other half of the discography in this scenario, wouldn’t they? (Maybe an exception for the godawful eponymous track to wrap things up, I guess…) To stay on theme, I suppose it could be the “These Colours Don’t Run” tour.
 
Still think mine would be fuckin’ baller (and fairly realistic):

Resurrecting this, partially inspired by the Iron Maiden through Fear of the Dark style of the Run for Your Lives Tour, here's a hypothetical scenario where Maiden does a tour only featuring songs from Brave New World onward (plus "Iron Maiden"). Let's call it,

Your Time Will Come World Tour

INTRO: Mars, the Bringer of War (Gustav Holst)

1. Different World
2. Rainmaker

- short speech from Bruce -
3. These Colours Don't Run
4. The Talisman
5. Speed of Light

- short speech from Bruce -
6. The Book of Souls (ft. Mayan Eddie getting his heart ripped out)
7. Stratego
8. Coming Home

- excerpt from "Anthem for Doomed Youth" (Wilfred Owen, recited by Bruce) -
9. Paschendale
10. Blood Brothers
11. Brave New World
12. Hell on Earth

- "Scream for me, [insert city here]!" -
13. Iron Maiden (ft. Wicker Man Eddie)

- ENCORE -
14. The Wicker Man
15. Dance of Death
16. The Writing on the Wall
(ft. Samurai Eddie)

Tried my best to make up for the lack of classics with songs that could feasibly be about as exciting, plus had to balance all the epics that have made live post-reunion Maiden so special. Comes out to under 1hr 50min surprisingly. I think this would be a killer set, ugh I can only dream.
 
Combining new album + Reunion era + hits

1.New song
2.New song
3.Ghost Of The Navigator
4.Brave New World
5.New song
6.New song
7.Dance Of Death
8.The Number Of The Beast
9.Rainmaker (instead of Blood Brothers)
10.The Writing On The Wall
11.The Evil That Men Do
12.New song
13.Iron Maiden
14.Fear Of The Dark
Encore:
15.The Wicker Man
16.The Trooper
17.Hallowed Be Thy Name

Part 2: from TXF to SJ Tour (+ Iron Maiden, ofc)

1.Futureal
2.Ghost Of The Navigator
3.Wildest Dreams
4.Death Or Glory
5.Dance Of Death
6.Rainmaker
7.Coming Home
8.These Colours Don't Run/Different World/Benjamin
9.No More Lies/Dream Of Mirrors
10.Out Of The Silent Planet
11.Paschendale
12.The Writing On The Wall
13.Iron Maiden
Encore:
14.The Wicker Man
15.Blood Brothers
16.Brave New World

Btw, they can make great screen arts for songs like Book Of Souls, Parchment, Hell On Earth, Silent Planet... I didn't add some of them because they are longer (Hell On Earth) and tough for Bruce.

New album + hits + deep cuts

1.New song
2.New song
3.Brave New World/The Wicker Man
4.Infinite Dreams
5.New song
6.New song
7.Die With Your Boots On
8.The Evil That Men Do
9.To Tame A Land
10.The Number Of The Beast
11.New song
12.Iron Maiden
13.Fear Of The Dark
Encore:
14.Be Quick Or Be Dead
15.The Trooper
16.Hallowed Be Thy Name

No debuts, so no OTGDY, Sun and Steel.
