I am okay with the following setlist:
1- where eagles dare
2- flight of icarus
3- ftggog
4- the clansman
5- Alexander the great
6- wrathchild
7- wrathchild
8- wrathchild
.

.

By the way, the opener may seriously be where eagles dare + flight of icarus. They seem to fit one another.
 
Opener will be Quest for Fire followed by Sun and Steel. Encore will start with Be Quick or be Dead followed by Holy Smoke. Alexander and Mother Russia will be somewhere in the middle of the set, and between them will be Flash of the Blade and Back in the Village. Show will be closed with The Prophecy.

Alright, a month and a half to go... It's been a while since my previous setlist prediction/wish, whatever, so it doesn't hurt to add another one... :D I have ONE MORE coming, since I can't help thinking that Aces High is "just" a 50/50 chance. It's in the promo video, yes. Also, many believe they will actually play it and well, opening with Where Eagles Dare or Be Quick or be Dead might be a bit too "out of this world." I wouldn't mind if they opened with Moonchild again, since there (in the promo art) is that baby that could hint towards it too, but Aces High, for one last, glorius time sounds like something they might end up doing. There has been talk about them being or not being capable of doing some songs for ages and pretty much every time they've proved that yes, they still can, so... Yeah. Why not. If they'll play it, I guess the whole opening bunch will be a little World Slavery Tour throwback, since it's been nine years since the last SBIT leg anyway. So, something like this?

1. Aces High
2. 2 Minutes to Midnight
3. Flight of Icarus
4. Revelations? Stranger in a Strange Land?

And then.. well, I'm pretty confident that The Clansman will return and the compass in the promo art would be a bit too random if they haven't at least toyed with the idea of playing Ghost of the Navigator. I just find a thought of it being played without The Wicker Man a bit odd. I could kinda see them playing those two as encores and then throw something like BYD... TTS, RTTH or Running Free to close the set. A bit similar to the more or less thematic encore of 2008 when they played both Moonchild and The Clairvoyant and then closed with Hallowed. Also, Bruce being Bruce, I could definitely see him toying with the idea of re-created wicker man prop from the BNW tour.

For the Greater Good of God is a song that sums up a lot of things from post-reunion Maiden, so it is a strong contender indeed. Also, there has been so much hints towards it that I believe they might play it. It's not the most theatrical song though, so it'll be interesting to see if there will be a clear theatrical centerpiece to the show, on a similar scale to ROTAM, SSOASS and also TBOS from the most recent tour. Paschendale could be it, but it AND FTGGOG in the same set doesn't sound too realistic.

Flight of Icarus. Kinda confirmed. I'll be surprised if they don't play it. I really hope that the Cyborg Eddie in the promo art stands for something else than just Heaven Can Wait; I still wouldn't rule Stranger in a Strange Land out completely. It's nowhere near something you'd actually expect, but it's a song that is relatively easy to dust off, fan-favourite, the whole band seems to like it and tempo isn't a problem either, so on it's own right, it is in the realm of possibility.

To be honest, I want them to open with BQOBD, The Wicker Man or something else like Where Eagles Dare ! I want a fresh approach to the setlist and this tour give a chance to do so.
I believe in Nicko to bring SIASL or 22AA to the set :D
 
Wait, so the new singer of The Raven Age is the (apparently ex) singer of The Wild Lies (Dylan Smith's band)? Interesting.
 
I can certainly envisage 'Phantom of the Opera' being in the setlist. It's been on some of the previous history tours and was fantastic on the Maiden England tour. Before I saw it live I was never all to fussed by it, but sitting in the gods at the 02 Arena in 2013 hearing Bruce singing it I finally appreciated it. The instrumental section is fantastic live too. Having seen it three times across 2013/14 though, there are other songs I'd prefer to be in the setlist ahead of 'Phantom of the Opera'.
 
I think it is a great song but I also think it would be a bad decision to play it this tour. It’s been played on 3 shorter hits/history tours and then had a whole world tour with Maiden England.

Do you guys think there's any chance Phantom Of The Opera will be played in the tour? It's one of my all-time favorite songs from Iron Maiden, a solid 10.

I think that nobody will ever write songs like Phantom of the Opera and Rime of the Ancient Mariner ! Phantom is a pure classic ;) I doubt that Maiden would play it, but on the ME tour was a highlight and a nice surprise.

From the debut I rather wanna hear Prowler - one of my favorite songs and it is a classic if you ask me !

Agreed. If it was to replace FOTD or even Hallowed, why not, but it's not the first song I'd wish or expect for them to play. I don't mind if they do though, it's a great one and very impressive live.
