I'm crossing my fingers for Download. Donington is a spiritual home for Maiden and I've already got my tickets for 2026 so that would be a nice bonus. Especially if we get the great weather we had this year.

Maybe now is the west ham stadium but for sure maiden + donington is pure magic
 
Ι think Athens is 99% and it will be the OAKA stadium. I predict more than 20 European shows, if they start early May (maybe Bucharest and Sofia before Athens) and then finish early July and fly to NA. The festivals in Spain, Sweden Rock and Copenhell, some Balkan headline dates, maybe 3-4 dates in Germany and Austria (maybe Wacken), Pula (or Ljubljana, but Pula seems more likely). That's already 13-14 shows. Then they will definitely play a gig (or 2 or 3) in the UK.
 
I think tomorrow they’ll announce the European shows, then a couple more festivals over time with the 23rd announcement being North & Latin America, later on for Australia Asia

Athens on the 23rd

Wonder if the tour gets announced tomorrow. I am expecting some festival announcements next week, so maybe the dates will be drip fed to us.

So, the tour will likely start around 17th of May. Also the rumoured start in an arena in Sofia looks likely IMO. If they copy what they did last year, I think the tour could start in Sofia on 19th, followed by the possible 2nd show on 20th. They will almost for sure start in an arena because of production run throughs. Also starting in Bulgaria makes most logistical sense.

I have a feeling what will be announced soon are not the initial plans. It made so much sense to believe world tour 2025/2026 meants shows in Europe in 2025, then the rest.
I believe that there is something that has changed in the meantime.

What changed is that this is their biggest tour and if they won't do a 3rd leg, another run of European shows makes sense. Big anniv, big tour.

Idk if it's the full version, but the new tour poster with the references suggest that the set will be exactly the same, not that we didn't know it.
It's cool, I mainly like it because of the colors. Is it better than the 2025 one? I guess the colors. It seems Rime, Seventh Son and Powerslave are the central elements. Again, destruction depicted in the art.

Few elements on new artwork are clear, Powerslave and Seventh Son albums, Aces High (or BQOBD), Hallowed Be Thy Name, TNOTB and Mariner.

I don't think they'll change setlist, only thing I think they did wrong with the set, rather thing they could've done is playing Tailgunner rather than Aces, cause it's easier to sing, all 9 albums would be covered, bringing a old song back, with Bruce's rn voice could sound amazing.
