16 shows is something opposite to their narration about a big tour 2026. 22 shows in Europe, 16 NA, 8 SA and maybe 6 or 7 in Oceania and Asia. 53 shows summary, maybe they will book some stadiums and festivals in States and Canada. Less shows and the bigger venues, as they suggested in tour preview.

The first dates of the tour or in the gap between Mediolan and Paris?

He didn't tell me the dates. I'm guessing first dates of the tour or after Knebworth.
Or maybe something like this (if they don't play Hellfest):
17.june Milano
19+20.june Pula
22+maybe 23 june Paris
25.june Copenhagen
26.june Oslo
28.june Lyon
29.june Antwerp

But I think they will play Hellfest.

If so, they should announce Croatia shows very soon. I don't think there will be shows after Knebworth, NA is next - no way they wil travel from Croatia to the States. On the other hand: gap between Milano and Paris would be great opportunity to play two shows in Croatia instead the third show in France. Paris is selling not so good to add another night IMHO.
 
Yesterday NuCoast announced Sting concert at Zagreb Arena (17.june). I don't believe they will also organized Maiden at Pula at that time frame. It could be only start or end of EU tour there. My bet is on start, before Greece concert.

That doesn't work. If they have 2 concerts in a row, they follow that with 2 days off. If 2nd date in Paris happens, it will be on 21st. Also, I doubt they will do long-distance travel just before recording the show. I'd imagine they will want to prepare for as many days as possible at La Defense. Especially if it's an one shot recording (2nd night not added).

They surely have audio recordings from this year Paris shows including video shots from live cameras (they are recording every show). Headlining the Hellfest shouldn't affect sales in France 'cos general 4-days passes are sold out, day tickets are the minority's option and will sell very fast.

If they combine video shots from 2 different years, this would be an even bigger video editing shitshow than usual.
 
If they do it professional we don't see the differences. The other problem is completely weird marketing strategy. They announced big 50 Anniversary tour including many big stadium, then they announced visual book for collectors and forthcoming documentary to be screened in the cinemas worldwide. We have the Fall and bunch of new big shows announced for next year in Europe and the document was postponed to next year without specified release date. In normal world this kind of movie is the marketing tool to attract more casual fans to the band's world, especially in the States. Even small kid can understand that. I could bet they eventually release the docum after the whole tour as "something special for our fans". Stupidity level hard, their management deserves Anti-Nobels. :)

The ticket market in the US isn't great, plenty of bands are struggling to push ticket sales, I really don't think they are planning anything outside of your typical arenas.

Most tours that put off larger venues are needing to stack the bill with a few other bands which equals more expense. Stadiums are also super expensive to book, when you add it up arenas with a small time support band would be just as profitable anyway

And if you see poor sales of forthcoming dates in EU and the lack of promotion of the whole tour ( album, documentary) there won't be a big tour next year with filled stadiums but sad Anniversary with half empty venues. Many big stadiums in EU they should change to arenas.

Ghost, Korn and many others are doing well in the States. Judas Priest is co-headlining with Alice Cooper and tour isn't bad. It's just about Iron Maiden' and their decline in the States.

There are some exceptions for sure, but the boat has well sailed for Maiden to play stadiums in the US, it will be a shortened typical arena run in their biggest markets.

If so the demand for them declined a lot since 2024 tour. Not good news.
