Doesn't matter. With Steve, Janick and Kevin Shirley in Paris and everything else we know we can simply sit back and wait for a new album once the tour finishes.
 
The speculation that a new song will be in this year's setlist is imminent. 'Alexander the Great' will be put on the back burner for a year.
 
Obviously theres precedent for playin a new song but I dont see it happening what with the nature of the Legacy set/stage etc. It would break the flow. But they have surprised us before. The one guarantee is that if they do do a new song it will be a shitty rocker that is not representative of the rest of the album in the slightest.

They did this with wildest dreams around 2003 I guess, they can do it again.
 
For reals though my only thought at this point is...

Will they top "Empire of the Clouds"?
I don't think they will.
I hope I'm wrong.

Good stuff. They are somethin else. I sort of take it for granted now but the last couple of times I have taken first-timers and its their reaction that I love. They remind me that Maiden really are a cut above in terms of the live show/performance.
 
I have a hard time seeing them co opt the current tour for teasing the new album. It makes sense from a timing perspective, but not so much with marketing. The albums promote the tour, not the other way around. I imagine Rod sees a new album as an opportunity for two more years of touring. They’re going to milk the current tour for what it’s worth and then move on to the next one, which the new album will be a byproduct of. Maybe we’ll get it in spring instead of fall though.
