Iron Maiden Tour 2025 - Discussion

[matic22]

We shall see. It's a bit early IMO (was expecting mid-October), but stranger things have happened.

I think we might get a tour announcement and no dates this week, followed by dates in October and presale/sale at the beginning of November.

Maybe they are getting ahead of any festival announcements.

They need at least one huge surprise. Maybe the new song mentioned above.

I struggle to see how a new song would be a surprise of any kind. They've been making songs for 50 years.

I assume the plans are really up til 2026. For now. I guess 2025 will be Europe only and 2026 will be the big tour, like this year's tour schedule. Especially if it's a 50 years tour.

Dave Murray-only songs setlist in 2026 to celebrate his 70th birthday and the 50th anniversary of him joining Iron Maiden.

Slow intro with clean guitars and a distorted lead guitar on top. Rinse, repeat.

You forgot about... In the words of P. Andrews:

Charla The Harlah, chow meow eggs.

It feels like it's too early to announce the next tour, but why not.

''...and will be an 80s/classics tour''... Oh no, all the 80's tours were done already???

Despite not being happy with the prospect of an 80s tour, I can't wait for the new illustrations. All Future Past artwork was amazing.

This.

You wouldn't be surprised at all if, after Steve (being honest or not) has said in several interviews that there is no new music at the moment,
they just suddenly played a brand new song in the encores of a history tour?

Bought me at the possibility, albeit feeble, that they finally would play this gem:

Looks like we are officially approaching ticket (and money) stress season...

Yup. I hope the pre-sale is in October or November and not immediately next week.

Yep, hate it when bands do presales before payday. I mean Jesus fucking Christ it's the end of the month and most of us are not exactly flush.

Someone should let Steve know. In his last interviews it came across that he knows nothing about plans for 2025. ;-)

 

[Poto]

Here's hoping that's true and that they have a proper UK tour.

I have every reason to believe this is legitimate.

No idea about how many UK shows you will get though.

Theres a sad vibe to that album that I like

Also I forgot Steve still did some busy basslines and fills on that album which was started to become rarer and rarer

What an album npftd is. No matter what people usually say.

If the Thursday rumour is to be believed, then it may not be a coincidence that Sonic Temple Festival (in Ohio, May of next year) are announcing on the same day and teasing a very big act:

Two Maiden shows in France next year according to french radio host Francis Zégut :

-> Défense Arena (in Suresnes, near Paris) or Accor Hotels Arena Bercy (in Paris),
-> Les Eurockéennes de Belfort festival (between 3rd and 6th of July 2025).

Rumors also say Maiden will play Zurich, Switzerland on the 9th of July 2025

Not a fan of NPFTD at all (my honest opinion is that they should've done only one album with NPFTD's and FOTD's top 9 or 10 songs) but the intro solo to Fates Warning is my favorite solo Dave has ever played.
There's something epically sad and wasted in that solo.

Only Europe apparently.

Real or whishful thinking?
