Is that from Hervé Monjeaud? If it is from him, he has been doing artwork for Maiden since 1999, although in recent years most tour related artwork is from him (as also are the Maiden England '88 and Empire of the Clouds covers).

I wonder what is the second Les Paul by Adrian - maybe the one he uses on the WS, TFF and ME tours, or the one he used on the Rainmaker video - white Les Paul ! Or the red Les Paul is returned, but probably is the black one that he used on TGU live on the last tour...

Yes it its by him - great artist. I did not know that he do Maiden artworks since 1999, but I like his tour related artworks.

Well, yeah. It is the Nordic tour artwork only though, so it's also featured on the event shirts. They've been more or less viking themed since forever.

Probably the black Custom. AFAIK he retired the goldtop and sold/gave the red one to the guitarist of Wild Lies.
I know this is a longshot, and I'm not sure if it's allowed so delete if necessary.
I'm visiting Stockholm from the United States and just found out Maiden is playing during my stay. Obviously tickets are sold out. I'd love to get my hands on a ticket for the show. Does anyone have an extra they can sell me at a reasonable price? Please PM. I'm in the Oslo airport right now waiting for my flight to Stockholm so I'll be there this evening.
Seriously much thanks if anyone can come through!

I think one of the guys responsible for the Bruce Dickinson Well-Being Network had a spare ticket or two. You would probably be able to contact with him via the website: http://www.bookofhours.net/bdwbn/
Sent him an email. Thanks for the tip. We'll see what happens.

My pleasure! Apparently there are other Fan Club members selling tickets over at the official fan club forum, but I do not have their contact details.

...and to be disappointed again.
They've not played in Greece since 2011, so he's not had much of a chance since then!

If you're at Facebook, the event page (Iron Maiden @ Stockholm or whatever it is called, you know, the official page by the promoter) is worth checking out too, people tend to sell tickets there too if something unexpected happens etc.
Well, I saw the first three shows and here's some thoughts:
- Everything about the stage show has been said, but yes, it IS spectacular.
- Nicko and Bruce are on BEAST MODE right now. Bruce absolutely nails Aces High and Where Eagles Dare in a way I honestly didn't expect.
- The setlist is great. Like Maiden England set, it's pretty unrelenting when it comes to flow, but with a bit more interesting overall approach; "best of tour" done right! I could always complain about some obvious live staples, but then again, they're the reason for many people to attend the concert in a first place. While I'd gladly replace some of them, I have to say that the added theatrics really work very well. FOTD hasn't been this good for ages. If only they dropped it for either TBOS or ME tour, this would have been quite a way to bring it back. Oh well.
- The encores work pretty well too, though the unrelenting classics feast is also the biggest problem of the set, from a hardcore-fan perspective; while the pace is great and the band, especially Bruce, really delivers even when it comes to most overplayed stuff and songs like Hallowed and RTTH sound REALLY GOOD, after Icarus there just isn't that much to be um... excited for. I mean, I really enjoyed all of the songs, some of the classics sounded better than they have for a long time, but after rather adventurous encores of the SBIT, ME and TBOS tours, this felt a bit underwhelming first... but after you kind of accepted that after Icarus the surprises were pretty much done, I find the rest of the set very enjoyable. And I can't praise Bruce enough here: he really, seriously makes the whole bunch of songs sound surprisingly fresh. That's something.
- For the Greater Good of God seemed to receive a little warmer crowd reaction in the first Helsinki show than in Tallinn or in the second Helsinki show, but since the first Helsinki show was the only of the three shows where I had a seated place, it's a bit hard to compare. Just a feeling. Anyway, it DOES kinda slow the set down, but it also works very well live, Bruce's delivery of the song might be even better than it was in 2006. The Wicker Man works very well right after it. Judging by the crowd reactions after seeing it live in 2011 and now, it really is another "modern classic." While I wouldn't change it's place in the set now, I could definitely see it as a possible future encore opener. Just a thought - I think it could work very well there.
- Sign of the Cross... Wow. I mean, many of us expected Revelations, The Clansman, Icarus and FTGGOG to be played, but I honestly didn't expect them to play this one. I almost had some tears of joy when I heard the intro tape in Tallinn. And the way it was delivered... Wow. Bruce really seems to love the drama in The Clansman and Sign of the Cross. If you look at the videos without the sound, you can tell just by the look of his performance that he really loves to sing that stuff. I always knew that The Clansman is a brilliant live piece, but having finally experienced the power of it myself... wow. That chorus is just MASSIVE live. And Sign of the Cross, followed by Flight of Icarus was perhaps the highlight of the whole show. I mean, as I said, you can always nitpick about a song or two, but this setlist has a great flow and the band's - and again, especially Bruce's - level of intensity when doing even the most obvious songs really makes this a very special show.

Yeah, probably is the black Les Paul, but I find the white Les Paul from the Rainmaker video as a very good looking guitar - I hope he will play with it someday
Here are some picture where that guitar can be seen (though, the quality is not good)

It could be a loaner. Eg, sometimes when a band is making a video their gear isn't avalible, because it was already shipped, so they use rented gear. I think that's the case for the Rainmaker video guitar.Yeah, probably is the black Les Paul, but I find the white Les Paul from the Rainmaker video as a very good looking guitar - I hope he will play with it someday

On the Maiden official site it has a page (called ''tour map'') where the fans can share their photos from the concerts: https://partofthelegacy.ironmaiden.com
