Will they have two stage sets, one that goes from Paris to Lyon and another one that is used at festivals?

Bands always have at least 2 stage sets to rotate between concerts.

Not always...

Maiden have 2 rough stage setups. The instruments, the backline setup and drapes always travelled with the band. However this time, since it's screens, it might be different. But the instruments will still travel with the band.

So Maiden don't have complete A and B rigs. The instrumental B rig is what can be seen during Behind The Beast, while main instruments were being packed into the plane.

Not always...

OK, bigger bands do that. Smaller ones doesn't need to rotate stage sets.

 

[Prowler]

They still have some big gaps to fill. At least 7 more European dates imo.

Where are The Raven Age?

 

[GhostofCain]

Nice sleuthing guys!

 

[Diplomat]

They should record Knebworth and release on bluray, with some documentary about that.

 

[UpTheIrons]

Honestly, with Knebworth having a capacity of 125,000 and this event competing with the likes of Download Fest, the Metallica stadium shows, MCR at Wembley Stadium on the same day, i.e. many other high profile rock music events in the UK this summer and this being a re-visit of this year's tour, I was expecting a more stacked line-up than that. Something more akin to the top 4 or 5 bands that you would find on a large festival main stage.

 

[matic22]

I think this was planned since last Download appearance, when Bruce hinted it's the last one. They tested the waters with London Stadium with great results and decided to go for it.

Yeah kind of agree there, The Darkness are good for a bit of fun but the HU and Airbourne have supported them before so nothing new. Still be a fun day though, no rain please!

I`m waiting on the Pula question to be resolved before deciding what to do, i`ll see it again once next year for sure, just not sure where yet. Should we presume one of the bands at Knebworth will be the support for the other European dates or not?

 

[Diplomat]

I would love to see The Darkness or The Hu as support for complete european tour.

 

[srfc]

The Darkness are an awesone live act, seen them probably 8 or 9 times

 

[dickinson1978]

I would have bring as a support act helloween or judas priest. Some old band which have been around with them all this years. With their set of course not as a support or something close to their set.

 

[snarf]

I love Maiden, but I saw this show multiple times last year. Do I really want to go camp out and stand in a field to probably watch a TV screen of it? On the other hand, who knows how long they will be doing it. Hmm.
