Hints collection thread for 2023

I think there is something going on with SIT - I mean some of the hints are very suspicious like the code, the stars in the updated tour poster, Janick's guitar tech photo, Nicko's drum store posting a tattoo of exactly Cyborg Eddie, the Brazilian event shirt... I expect the new album tour poster to have some hints and some of the band members might spoil something in the interviews prior to the tour.

My opinion is that they should have played more SIT songs during the 2008/2009 tour (it was named SBIT after all). A setlist like this:
1.Aces High
2.2 Minutes To Midnight
3.Stranger In A Strange Land
4.The Trooper
5.Wasted Years
6.The Number Of The Beast
7.Can I Play With Madness
8.Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
9.Powerslave
10.Heaven Can Wait
11.The Evil That Men Do
12.Run To The Hills
13.Iron Maiden
Encore:
14.Moonchild
15.The Clairvoyant
16.Hallowed Be Thy Name

Caught Somewhere In Time (come on, Rod lol), Sea Of Madness, Alexander The Great (!), Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (at least it was played live again) and Infinite Dreams (unfortunately last played live in 1988) could have been played too.

Hi it's truth the 2019 event T-shirt brazil remind to SIASL..There's one thing interesting because the T-shirt event 2022 Maiden even dusted off Women in Uniform. The Merch gets better and better. Cheeers!

I still remain very doubtful about those stars... I mean, they're just stars and the colour scheme reminds me more about the light show during Blood Brothers than Somewhere in Time... :p

These are all very possible solutions. I don't know why but I still think that it will be very similar to A Matter of the Beast summer tour, new songs from Senjutsu plus the addiction of something from Somewhere. Maybe Maiden had this plan,then skipped for the reasons we all know. My opinion. Greetings

Dunno. The colour scheme is indeed the light show during Blood Brothers (the song had a backdrop with stars for TBOS tour), but the stars were not part of the original tour poster and that's where my suspicion comes from. That and because it reminds me of the background in Wasted Years Eddie artwork.

SIASL Eddie was the perfect fit for the ''bar scene'' of this event shirt (check the single cover and TAATG video).

The difference is that at the time they were celebrating the anniversary of the album and had already played the whole album live, but they are 2 years behind with the tours now.

+ TFF tour as well. :)

Yeah, but the Beast Eddie wasn't there either - it replaced the mushroom cloud due to 2 Minutes to Midnight being dropped from the set for this year; therefore I think the changed background and colour scheme might be just another part of a slight rehash of the tour poster for the last leg to give it a distinctive feel from the previous one, not necessarily hinting future at the slightest. I mean, they'll be touring in Europe next year, including a headline performance in a major festival (Wacken). So why would they "hint" and "tease" 2023 tour with a tour poster that is exclusive for the 2022 North and South American tour...?
 
It looks like a black hole or a vortex. Maybe a live recording of the SIT tour that he remastered ? Maybe a new Maiden studio album ? :blink:

Or maybe nothing at all related with the band. ;)
