I can't really understand the stage in the photo (is it the usual setup), the screens are expected, I guess it isn't built on it - but the ''spectacular show'' should be much more than that, methinks.

It looks like a more enhanced version of the TFP Tour stage. A little disappointing, as usual - big mouth of Rod means nothing very special in the real :(
 
There's a lot you can do with a screen, it's really just a question of if they've managed to make good use of it or if it'll just end up as a cost effective backdrop replacement with some animation and music video footage thrown in. I'd say they've certainly stretched hand-painted backdrops to their absolute limit on previous tours, so I wouldn't be too down on it just yet.

So, chronologically ETHC posted these songs for possible setlist. Well it fit for mindblowing concert's first 30 minutes, which Bruce was speak of.

You have a point (without the opener). 4 surprise plus a couple of more later (2-3) and it's possible.

The big horizontal screen could be the roof of the stage

That's what I thought at first. Rehearsals/pre-production, construction. Like it could be outlined, there's a pattern methinks (although the main screen won't be that big or bigger than the side small ones, which would be odd). And more boxes can be seen. They know they need a big screen/multiple screens to make a setting with effects and animations. The side screens are normal and for a different use.
 
I gather that there's on big screen (which is not yet in its place in the picture) and two smaller screens on the sides. Regular platform with space for drums in the middle. The spectacular aspect could very well be animated videos in the background. After all on FP tour the images were mostly static and pretty lazy (Iron Maiden one even had the Iron Maiden text/logo). This would qualify as new and exciting for Iron Maiden.

Personally I prefer physical backdrops. There's something nostalgic and cozy about them and they set Maiden apart from their contemporaries. Still, whatever they have, most of it goes to waste in bright Finnish summer night anyway.

5. Judas Be My Guide (first time EVER)
6. Phantom of the Opera (first time since 2014)

where did they post these?
 
I hope it's a fake AI-generated picture. If not, we will see TFP tour stage 2.0, enhanced with a few screens, probably more props, and pyro—great but not so spectacular. We will know the truth next Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
FakeImageDetector.com says: "Looks like Computer Generated or Modified Image".
I expected that there would even be a lot of fake pictures of the band or the stage.

But you're right, we'll know next week.

If the image is true we can only see 3 screens and a poor lightning rig. It's proper stage lookalike the latest Megadeth set up.
But the lightning rig is properly Maiden

I try to detect AI modifications with special applications, and the results are 50/50. So, must see the stage in its entirety; it looks like Megadeth set up to me.

I hate to bring everyone crashing down to Earth, but don't forget this is going to be a bonafide greatest hits set.

Considering Daughter is their only UK number one single, that would mean it's a definite. All other tracks I would expect to be either singles from the catalogue, or greatest live hits - Fear, Iron Maiden, Hallowed.

While I'd certainly advise people to rein their wildest expectations a bit, I also doubt that the band, at this point, looking at their setlist approach ever since The Book of Souls tour, would book a huge two-year world tour to basically only play the stuff they've already auto-piloted through for so many decades + Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter or Die With Your Boots On as the sole " recently less/not played" cut out there.

Yes, it'll be a greatest hits show. Much in the vein of Ed-Huntour, Give Me Ed, Somewhere Back in Time or Maiden England. However, basically every single Maiden tour, with the possible expection of TFF 2011, has brought 1-3 deepish cuts to the table, or a song or two that hasn't been played for a good while. In that sense, 1-2 very deep cuts/rarities and one huge 80's epic like Rime among the biggest hits is totally plausible scenario.

Your point about Daughter is fine, but by the very same logic it should've been played a lot more consistently over the past three decades anyway. So I wouldn't call it all that certain inclusion, although rather likely anyway.
