Has to be reunion with Kai and Kiske, while retaining all the current members.
I would like it if they did one set for the first 3 (or 5) albums with them, then one with the current lineup (where they'd only play the remaining albums), then an encore with everyone.

Kiske and Weikath on the same stage would be a power metal version of Axl and Slash reuniting

That would be pretty cool.
It's happening!

As I predicted, it'll be all current members + Kai and Kiske. 3 hour shows too
Would've been a great chance to reintroduce Grapow & Küsch, but that's probably asking too much

Man... 3 hours. This is more interesting than anything else going on in metal. Apart from a possible Bruce album.
I don't like the omission of Ingo in (the light of) that bragging text ("... resurrect the band’s legendary original line-up. Yes, it’s official: Weikath, Kiske, Hansen, Grosskopf ... " & "... The time has come!« The chemistry between Kiske, Hansen, Weikath, and Grosskopf is singular – and sees its revival not least because of you: You’ve never stopped asking for it – now the mega event is coming up live, with the complete cast ... "). Yes, he is dead, but at least he could be mentioned, paid tribute to at least.

OMG! Another super amazing reunion! WOW! Hopefully they stay together and we get a new studio album out of this.
Yeah, Kiske's still got it. This is gonna be awesome.
They should open the reunion shows with Halloween

I wonder if they'll split their set in "current line-up" and "old line-up with current drummer" and "everyone present".
Alternative scenario: let's imagine they'd only focus on eighties material. So if we get 3 hours of
Helloween
Judas
Ride the Sky
Keepers 1
Keepers 2
.. they'd need to play everything and they'd still have 15 minutes or so left (for a break).

I certainly approve of the 3 hours of Judas.
(in the words of the immortal Phil Collins): ...But Seriously, such an "early days" setlist would be awesome, like it or not.

They will surely (needlessly) extend some songs for singalongs. When I saw them they did it with Future World and I Want Out (
).

They could also add Savage and/or Don't Run for Cover (didn't count Keeper bonus tracks)!
Seriously, the idea of having only (or many of) these eighties songs is very, very exciting. Yes, there are a couple of stinkers (or lesser good ones), like Reptile, Guardians, Gorgar, Rise and Fall and Living Ain't No Crime, but they are so much compensated by the awesomeness of the majority of the material. I wonder how they'd divide the material over the singers. I can't imagine all three vocalists doing all songs together, sharing the lines.

They won't play just the old songs since Deris will sing too. It's probably gonna be 50/50.
Pls no.
