Generally, it's the stadium tour around the world. Smaller stadiums/outdoors are more likely, especially in Australia. Hope for 7 - 9 dates in Oceania and Asia with a break between the end of October and November. If so, they could book some shows even in the first week of December; if not, the final dates will be booked for the last week of November.
I would say they would hit places like the Brisbane entertainment center. It holds about 30000 from memory.
Is there any rumor that iron maiden will be playing in Australia?
Not that I know of but its world tour for their 50th. They have said there are more dates to come so the odds are they will come here. Also at the Brisbane show last year Bruce said we will be back very soon, sooooo. I'd keep you calendar free for November/December next year.
Yeah, Bruce told that - I remember. So, my fingers are crossed!
I don't exactly go there on a regular basis. I'm from NSW after all.
Should have really beat the competition and announced them the same time as the NA dates, there was no real reason not too.
Clearly something went wrong from a business POV
There have been some credible sources that they will have dates in Japan and Australia next year.
So that would be a really big tour for them .
They surely knew about the other bands' concert plans for LATAM (first half of next year), so they didn't announce the dates and delayed the LATAM leg announcement, probably for early Spring next year. I suppose they'll announce Asia and Australia next year, too.
I wonder if there is a International act bigger than Maiden in Chile.
In 2009, Iron Maiden played in Chile at Club Hippico, - 65k people in attendance; they could easily do the same, even at the same outdoor venue.
Probably the usual ones - Coldplay, Taylor Swift and so on. But they rarely played there, so surely Maiden has some big numbers that nobody has ever matched
