I'm very concerned over Aces High's potential inclusion, because it was already a bit of a mess on Maiden England. It'd make a great opener, but I'm not all that convinced it'll go over smoothly through the tour. Bruce's voice just isn't really there in the high notes anymore.From the official teasers so far:
2MTM, RTTH, FOTD, Aces High, Trooper, TNOTB, FTGGOG
Possibly Rime and one of CIPWM/Moonchild/TETMD will surely be played.
Apart from FTGGOG, not very imaginative.
Option 1: it is a joke and you obviously don't trust the band to come up with something a bit imaginative any more.Through my super-secret inside sources, I have seen the setlist for the upcoming tour. It’s smoking!

1. Aces High
2. 2 Minutes To Midnight

Swap them around and yeah, it'd be great. Just like the old days.Id love a Sanctuary-Running Free finale. Just sayin.
It hasn't sold out yet. I have no idea when it's likely to, if at all.I haven't tried to buy a ticket yet, so no. Is it likely to be sold out? Don't think it was last time & it's all floor so no tickets are better than others.
