But....the last time I was spoiler free was 2005. Maybe it would be fun. Although I do remember walkin out of that gig thinkin "I can't believe they didn't play Killers, what the actual fuck?"

I think the only time I have been spoiler-free at a Maiden gig was on the GMETID tour in 2003. I was lucky to attend the second gig of the tour and managed to stay offline before then as I was travelling to Gijón. I met with a mate there who had been to the opening night gig and he only told me that I was going to love the first few songs... He was right!
 
Im gonna take a guess. The Legacy songs wont be played. Im not counting the songs they pretty much always play, Trooper, Hills, Hallowed, Beast, but the rest I think is out. So, these are out:

Aces
2 Minutes
Revelations
Where Eagles Dare
Flight of Icarus
Evil That Men Do

Im leaning more towards:

Confirmed:
Iron Maiden
Phantom
Run to the Hills
Fear of the Dark

Likely:
Running Free
Wrathchild
Killers
Hallowed
Beast
Trooper
Rime
Moonchild
Seventh Son
Bring Your Daughter

Maybe/Possible:
Ides of March/Murders Rue Morgue
Still Life
To Tame a Land
Powerslave
Stranger
Wasted Years
Alexander
Infinite Dreams
Clairvoyant
Tailgunner
Be Quick or be Dead

WED and Flight are out, for sure. The rest could always return. Evil could be swapped with Clairvoyant, I guess.

That'd be quite boring. The only deep cuts I can spot here are Still Life and Infinite Dreams. All the others have been played during the reunion years. I hope and think it's not gonna be like that. Due to the all the announcements something like THIS would be lame and even disappointing.
So, I think you are all wrong and they are gonna hit the road with a really surprising setlist. After TFP tour now everything is possible, really. And THEY KNOW we are aware of how inspired they can be if they want.

You do realise this is going to be a Greatest Hits tour aimed mostly at casual fans, don’t you?

I’d love to be wrong, but I doubt they’ll be playing any obscure tracks from the 80s.

Yes, but it's always a question what is considered to be a "greatest hit" - and defined by who.
Measured by some beer fest audience all the usual tracks would be considered greatest hits, sure, but if this time they take their fans over decades for seroius, they can't actually come up with the usual beer fest setlist.

I guess in the end we'll get a 50/50 mixture between a beer fest night and some deep cuts, so that means there should actually be more than only two surprises.

Only one man's theory.
 
If we try to understand this tour as an extended concept of the 2005 Early Days Tour (Eddie Rips Up The World, dedicated to 1980 until 1983), they WILL come up with many surprises. The 2005 tour had an amazing and innovative setlist. So the upcoming tour will have too and they are gonna bring this idea forward. They won't go a step back behind the concept and spirit of 2005. Never.

I’m going with 3 of my mates, two of which have never seen a Maiden show akin to a ‘greatest hits’ gig and the other has never been to a Maiden gig at all. As much as I will cherish what will most likely be one of the last Maiden gigs I ever attend, I’m more excited to see their responses to some absolute classics. I will be happy with whatever rarities they play.

My gigs in the 80's were largely spoiler free but in the internet/social media age my only spoiler free show was the first leg of the Book of Souls tour. I was fortunate enough to see the first show in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I was also down there to visit a friend. My buddy at the time used a car service to take him to the airport as he traveled a ton for his job so he thought we'd use it to go to the gig. They showed up in a limo, unexpected but pretty cool. So we went to the show in style.
 
It’s worth noting that we are 20 years out from the Early Days tour. While I hope they are more adventurous, they could play the same setlist as in 2005 and we would end up with several songs that haven’t been played in two decades. They might consider that sufficiently deep.

As long as they don't bring back Sanctuary and specially Drifter (one of their worst songs ever) I'm fine with whatever they play.
Of course, deep inside, in my wish list there are the following:
- Remember tomorrow (I know that in 2005 already, Bruce said they wouldn't playing it again and its mainly a Paul song but as I said, my wish list)
- Purgatory (again 0% chances it'll happen since last time it was played it was back in 1981 so...)
- 22 Acacia Avenue
- Still life
- To tame a land
- Back in the village (0% chances)
- Sea of madness
- Infinite dreams
- Only the good die young
- No prayer for the dying
- Run silent, run deep (0% chances)
- Be quick or be dead
- Judas be my guide (0% chances)

If in all of these, they play, lets say 2 of them, the rest could be the classic hits setlist (Iron Maiden, Wrathchild, NOTB, HBTN, Run to the hills, Trooper, 2 Minutes, TETMD, FOTD), fine for me.
