Guesses for opener on NA Final Frontier tour

[Invader]

I would disagree.  In Europe, they'll be playing to festival audiences, which aren't full of Maiden fans necessarily.  They probably wouldn't start with a brand new song that many people probably haven't heard.  They'd more likely start with a rather known song, I would right now go for something like Aces High, and The Wicker Man.  The Wicker Man is 10 years old by now, and Aces High was done last tour, so I  think there's a rather strong probability of The Wicker Man.

Yeah, I can't see them opening with this new song either.  It needs to be placed mid-set where Bruce can introduce it properly and talk about the upcoming album and whatnot.

And while it's a good song, it's not quite uptempo enough to be an opener.

 

[Suicidehummer]

I could see it being the second song.

Correct. Remember the last time this happened: "Wildest Dreams" on GMETID tour before DOD was released. The new song was in the middle of the set back then.

 

[JackAttack]

Well I was completely wrong. Haha, -1 for me.

Yeah, but 90% of those audiences do know Maiden pretty well, I seriously doubt that anyone will arrive to a festival to watch one of the bands and not stick around for Maiden.
