[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Do Download do day tickets, and if so, how much are they roughly?

About £80, I think they go on sale in about March/April time.

Cheers!

No prizes for guessing which day i'm interested in going to.

Bruce won't dare again

This thread looks a lot like this to me:

 

[Kalata]

In terms of setlist, I think they won't dare not change it at all.

I can imagine the following changes (this is not about heartfelt wishes, but about what I think is not too unlikely):

Spoiler

• Aces High
• Where Eagles Dare > 2 Minutes To Midnight
• 2 Minutes to Midnight > Wrathchild
• The Clansman> Dance of Death or Children of the Damned
• The Trooper
• Revelations > Phantom of the Opera
• For the Greater Good of God> The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
• The Wicker Man > El Dorado or Brave New World
• Sign of the Cross > Afraid To Shoot Strangers or Dance of Death or even When The Wild Wind Blows
• Flight of Icarus > Run To The Hills or Wasted Years
• Fear of the Dark
• The Number of the Beast
• Iron Maiden
• Encore:
• The Evil That Men Do > Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter (ok, this might be a bit of wishful thinking; "Moonchild" comes to mind otherwise)
• Hallowed Be Thy Name
• Run to the Hills > Sanctuary

In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if they made changes taking song lengths and atmospheres into account at the expense of themactic continuity (if they do respect the latter, it would be nice to see "Paschendale" make a come-back in place of FTGGOG for example).

I can't see them dropping FOI from the setlist. One of the big highlights from this tour!

Well, this makes no sense with the themes of the stage set. DOD/Children/Wrathchild have nothing with the war theme, neither have ATSS, DOD, WTWWB, BNW and El Dorado with religion.

SOTC is there to stay, since Maiden never swap out the centerpiece song. Also, I highly doubt they would change more than 4-5 songs.

 

[The Red and the Black]

It's denial. Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, the announcement on Twitter has the hashtag #legacyofthebeasttour

It’s not denial. My statement was accurate. Hashtags are

This thread looks a lot like this to me:

You can be as sarcastic as you want, but what you highlight in Bruce's statement does not prove your case. The first statement merely says they haven't played in certain countries on this tour, which is true and has nothing to do with what next year's shows will be.

It is true that nowhere in that statement does it say that the shows will be part of the LOTB tour. And it makes no sense that the LOTB should continue when a new album is recorded. (Not confirmed, but come on.)

I hadn't seen the tweet before. It's a little more disturbing, but it makes sense that they won't use a hashtag for an unannounced album tour.

I have faith in Maiden to do the right and logical thing.

 

[DJ James]

Brain aneurysm: the thread

 

[Iron Lurker]

Um, yeah. Bruce's comment does say the LOTB will continue. How can anyone possibly not get that from the comment? Also, how do you "add an extra few items to the show" on a new tour that hasn't even started?

I'm not too happy about a 3rd leg either and would prefer the new album/tour in 2020. But obviously this has been a very successful tour, the band is having fun, and they want to hit places they haven't been to yet on this tour.

 

[Perun]

The first statement merely says they haven't played in certain countries on this tour, which is true and has nothing to do with what next year's shows will be.

No, he said they have yet to visit these countries on this tour. Which means they haven't visited them on this tour yet, but they are planning to do so on this tour.

Yes but I haven't been since 2016 and can't remember how much I paid so can't give any info on day tickets prices.

 

[Black Wizard]

His question was already answered several posts above, so don't worry.

 

[MW564]

Bemused, confused and amused that there's any debate over whether this is LOTB 2020 or not. It will be. Whether there will be any changes remains to be seen, but if so, I doubt there will be too many. Would be nice to see a couple, just to keep things fresh.

I'm a tad disappointed it's turned into a 3 year tour, but given how good it has been so far, it's a bit like getting upset about having to drive the same Ferrari, purely because there's a new Lambo waiting in the garage.

Just one problem, there is a possibility, you will never get a chance to drive that Lambo ..

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Well, there's still the possibility that Raven Age will re-record and release the last unreleased Maiden album under their own name...

 

[Black Wizard]

That's what we want, what we deserve and what we need. That album would be incredible. I can't think of anything better.

 

[Brazilian Benjamin Breeg]

If Maiden release a studio album, I hope that there will be another one then, just because I prefer even numbers. 17 studio albums won't fit my shelf properly.

 

[The_7th_one]

17 studio albums won't fit my shelf properly.

You need a new one

 

[Diesel 11]

Get it up to twenty! Release four albums all at once, the definition of “a shitload of new songs”.
