Maybe, but it would seem odd. Berlin is far from the biggest market they have in Germany. Looking at the last tours, they sell more tickets in Köln, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Gelsenkirchen at least.

If they went all in with only one stadium show in Berlin they will probably do well, but why would they given the ticket sales there vs other cities.

This years sales in Berlin are actually really good for Maiden. In 2016 they had 22k, in 2018 they had 15k. 20k in 2022 and this year 40,000+. But it's a big step up to fill a stadium with 70k.

Also for a double nighter like this year, you have many doing both shows.

Hellfest is a given.
It would be weird if they don't do Download, but they could play the stadium in Cardiff instead.
I would say the Olympiastadion in Munich could be an option, but I've read it's going to be closed next year. Allianz Arena instead?
Spain it's either having another big show (Seville or Barcelona) or more, smaller shows (or festivals like Barcelona Rock Fest).
Copenhagen will be there too, could be Copenhell or they might attempt a stadium since the last show sold out during the exclusive presale.
Sweden Rock is highly likely as well.
Then I suspect arenas/stadiums in Croatia, Romania, Italy, Portugal, Belgium.

Let`s hope your crystal ball is close as there are a few nice looking holiday destinations taking in a show on that list!

Yeah, Olympiastadion is the kind of venue artists like Metallica, Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift sell out. I'm sorry, but Maiden have never been on this level.

Second night at Waldbühne is sold out now, but tickets were still available a couple of weeks ago, when all other gigs had already been sold out.
 
Very little speculation on the FC forum at the moment. If people know stuff, they are keeping quiet. But last year the bubble didn’t really burst before the last days/week before announcement.

European shows are looking likely though. North and South America are certain.

If they start in Europe, it will surely be close Split again. Maybe Zagreb again?
 
The most logical thing to do would be to play festivals only, but in some countries they don't even have one for Maiden. So they must have more than a couple of headline stadium/arena shows.
 
I fancy Croatia, had a holiday in Novigrad Istria last year and it was really nice.

Is the Rock In Rio Lisbon festival something they could play or not, i see Linkin Park are booked for 2026.

I don't think Maiden would be the festival first choice but it could happen, although I can see Lisbon being the last show of the EU leg, so probably not.

Yeah it was the last show in 2022 , the stadium was a bit of smaller old thing on the outskirts of Lisbon.

They could ship the equipment from Lisbon to America easilyu that way and maximize the income.

The stadium show in Lisbon was close to be fully packed so we can't rule out another show of that kind. Estadio do Restelo? I think it's even smaller than the Nacional

I`d take that , Belem is a nice part of Lisbon too.
 
If they book only two or three shows in Germany, Olympiastadion in Munich and Berlin would be a good choice. Both of them are 60K+ for live shows. With Koln or Hamburg (40k), we would have 3 concerts for 165k in Germany. Pretty likely for Maiden.
 
I know there is always the discussion about bands being able to sell out larger venues because they play nights back-to-back at a smaller venue. However, I would be interested to see a percentage chart as to how many people attend both shows. That would diminish the chance of Maiden headlining bigger venues.
