True. It wouldn't have been impossible at all, on the contrary, it would have been quite easy to organize the shows in a way that includes Wacken. The gap between July 11 and August 20 is quite long. A weird tour. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it, of course.

They are. Just because they're not playing it doesn't mean they can play shows in Europe.

Yep, this was confirmed in a Podcast by the festivals press secretary.

Btw i found a bootleg(audio) from 2025 at arnhem or something like that and for me they sound almost like 2008 in most of the songs.there is times that you can see the difference betweem simon and nicko but the most diferent i think is on run to the hills the drums on the intro sound very hard

They don't need a month and a half to transfer to another continent. Their logistics should be better than that.
Yes, I agree. If they wanted to, they could.

The 2022 tour (similar in terms of schedule) also had 1 month off.

I can understand their frustration, especially considering they are playing in some European countries in 2026 already visited on this tour.

One concert in Western United States and Western Canada with over 100 million population. Zero Florida gigs, population 24 million. Chicago through Toronto, Montreal, Virginia, Boston, NJ, Philly is 7 out of 12 shows, a smallish geographic area. Toronto likely to get 1 more.
Scandinavia 9 concerts for population of less than 30 million.
Portugal population 11 million gets 2 concerts.
Can see why American fans might have expected more concerts.

They don't even have Philly listed which is kind of surprising.

It is surprising LA is the only city in the entire West, nothing in Seattle, Arizona, Colorado, Vegas.
Skipping Florida for the second straight tour.
Having a stadium show in NJ which is effectively only 24k for concerts, while skipping NY and Philly when they could get more people doing a traditional run of dates in the area is also odd.
We could go on but this set of dates is pretty odd as a whole.

A little surprised after everywhere they went in the US for the FP tour they said they would be back in 2026. At least I have Charlotte as an option.

I'm honestly amazed Minnesota is getting a gig--at a new amphitheater about 45 minutes outside of the usual Minneapolis/St. Paul area they've been doing the last several tours. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I think the only show they sold out was the BOS Tour, with smallish-but-noticeable declines since. After being habitually skipped for 15 years straight, though,, I'm not complaining.
The new venue looks to seat an extra 1,500ish over the Xcel Center they've done the last few times, but I imagine they're counting on the package tour with Megadeth and Anthrax to sell better than they have on Legacy and TFP, plus it being a classic hits tour.

I saw the fP tour had a lot more dates. So the venues for thid tour has to be bigger
I’m just surprised they are not hitting anywhere on the west coast really, maybe Denver or Portland 9/27, if they did one PNW show I think it would do well.
