Yeah, probably a hint for a stage costume and the mask is related to this song. Phantom? Who knows. I prefer Powerslave to Aces.

I also read it as more suggestions that the band is thinking about the first few albums as the main focus of this show.

If they end up playing Aces high, it will be a bummer imo.

Agreed.

Honestly we’ve been speculating about the concert opener for a long time. Has anyone seriously considered “Prowler” yet? First Maiden song on the first Maiden album, and given the theme of the tour, not so far fetched. Could also be the “I can’t believe they’re playing that!” track.

Prowler would work great (one of the musts from the early era imo), but I guess it's not that of a crowd participating song for an opener. Murders too. Not that Senjutsu was in 2022.

Most and the big ones, yes, but all? There are other different songs, they'll probably want to play them again. Now is the chance and after the latest tours.

This art collection is really curious, but why would the band want to reveal the setlist (and no 90's posters) before the tour? They like hints, but some of the connected songs are wow. The date is even weirder, they could record in Feb next year, just saying...

New song? Those are old posters
 
I try to guess what they plan for 2026. So, I think we can predict two situations:
1. Shows in both Americas + some concerts in Asia/Oceania and an additional European leg planned for 2027.
2025: 32 dates in Europe/UK
2026: 46 dates in both Americas and Asia/Oceania
2027: 25 dates in EU/UK

2. Some European dates since the end of May 2026, NA tour starting in June 'til the end of August, then Latin/South America. RfyL Tour to end in October after 50+ dates without Asia/Oceania.
2025: 32 dates in Europe/UK
2026: 53 dates in EU/UK and both Americas

I think two of the scenarios are very likely, but I think the second one is the most possible.

Rod recently talked about "a very big tour", so they might decide to add the third leg, the 2027 EU/UK tour. Download 2027 could be...

2026 leg will be big. The tour poster has both years on it, but they could change it (right, although it would be odd) - and 3rd leg depends on their plans for a new album and stuff, but more European shows (this tour should probably see Download festival), I can see them, that's their recent habit after all. Then the new album, they can ''afford'' it. Either with changes to the setlist to play more songs (now with Simon), or Part 2 (the left side of the tour poster in fb is blank, which is still curious). The truth is, I'm not sure if the tour will only have 2 legs now (when it was announced it was different), and considering their solo activities... I don't want 3-years tours, but if it's Part 2.

I hope the fact that the tour poster says 2025-26 means that they have other plans for 2027.

I'd bet a decent sum of money on the poster only saying that because unlike many previous tours, this time they've pretty explicitly locked two years' worth of touring in well ahead of time, with a wait-and-see approach for 2027 since the band's not getting any younger. If nothing stops them from touring outright, I think you can pretty safely lock in a third year of RFYL, just like LOTB and ME before it.

Well they did exactly that with The Legacy of the Beast tour.

That being said, I don't think that the art collage necessarily hints towards that many, if any, songs themselves, but works more as a "setting up the aesthics & mood" thing - a bit like The Future Past posters & whatnot did, as those too didn't have many direct song references.

The difference is that we already knew they'd play 5 song off each albums. So, it was so easy to predict the setlist for the Future Past tour. The only songs that surprised me were Prisoner and CIPWM.
 
So far Aces High, Powerslave, and Rime have been speculated about it in this tour. Not much talk about Two Minutes To Midnight, but it would be quite the surprise if that song was omitted. Playing all of the big 4 off Powerslave seems kinda surprising to me, not sure if I buy it yet.

They played it in 2019. I hope they don't play it, but I think they will. I'm biased, because it's the hit, that I don't particularly like. I think it has a better chance to be played than the other 3. The least likely is Powerslave, but it's the song I want the most out of these 4.
 
If four songs off Powerslave:

At least 3 off Iron Maiden (Iron Maiden, Running Free, Phantom)
At least 2 off Killers (Probably the title track and one other)
The obvious group of Fear of the Dark, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, Hallowed, Trooper, probably Evil That Men Do

That's already 15 songs, and two albums unrepresented. It doesn't seem completely out of the question but I will be bracing myself for a meltdown in this thread if that's the setlist. :D
