Opening bands on Maiden tours

[Kalata]

Really?? So why did you mention Lauren Harris and the Raven age?

My dying bride and entombed are both very well known bands. If you’ve never heard of them then pull your head out of the sand and maybe broaden your horizons.

I bet if I picked each of your posts above I’d find loads of bands you missed so what was the point of this thread in the first place.

I added them because of the Steve daughter and Bruce son. Besides, Lauren Harris was the main opening band on the AMOLAD tour !

As I said before, I only add the bands that are more famous and familiar and the other members of this forum can list the ones that I have missed - that's the point of this thread !!!

Pointless thread, shan’t be contributing anymore. I could have googled and found a more comprehensive list of support bands in half the time it took to read this!

Instead of answering foolishly, it is better to write something meaningful and useful !!! Everybody has a choice to write or not to write on a thread, right...

The threads in any forum are for that: to discuss in that case, about our favorite band - tours, albums, concerts, artworks.... so I think you are just a troll !!!

I was at this tour, and the Almighty were decent, seemed like they were about to become the next big thing at the time but it never happened. They also opened for Maiden in Paris on the Brave New World tour, I was there too.

Where did Sabaton open for Maiden?

 

[Ariana]

I added them because of the Steve daughter and Bruce son.

Austin Dickinson plays in Rise to Remain and As Lions. George Harris plays in Raven Age.

Where did Sabaton open for Maiden?

Mea culpa. They did in Madrid, with Gojira, one of the biggest present-day metal acts, not appearing on @Kalata s list.

 

[Maturin]

Where did Sabaton open for Maiden?

Stockholm 2013 and Gothenburg 2011.

Edit: Nevermind if it was regarding the current tour.

 

[Perun]

Sabaton have opened for Maiden lots of times in the past. I've seen them in Stockholm in 2013 and Fortarock 2014. But I missed the fact that they were in Madrid this year.

Also Zico Chain for one show, August 4th 2013 (My first Maiden show!). Seems I'm the only one who enjoyed them

Looking forward to seeing Tremonti this friday, opening for Maiden.

 

[Kalata]

Austin Dickinson plays in Rise to Remain and As Lions. George Harris plays in Raven Age.

Oh yeah, my mistake.

Where did Sabaton open for Maiden?

At the Wanda show.

with Gojira, one of the biggest present-day metal acts, not appearing on @Kalata s list.

and that's the point of this thread - to add the bands that I have missed !
