I'm guessing they'll stay relatively conservative in the States, same general venues. Here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, they sold out the Xcel Center on the Book of Souls tour (though they'd neglected the market since 2000, so there was built-up demand), didn't quite for Legacy, and Future Past was lesser still, though respectable. I imagine with the "classic era hits" nature of the tour, they'd sell that venue out again, but going for much more might be a reach.

They did sell out the place in 2019, I seem to remember. The boxscore for that show (and many others in that tour) was total rubbish
Anthrax maybe, they got new album for 2026 release, so it’s a good opportunity for both band to draw bigger audiences.
12,200 in 2019 and around 10k in 2024.
Where has he confirmed it?
I was there and curious whether it did or not. Seemed there were empty seats dotted around, which gave me the impression it wasn't quite there at the time, but my memory might be a bit foggy on that, being a good few years ago now.
This happened for: TFP (likely because of Nicko), LOTB (with a planned 3rd leg for changes), ME (a generally lazy tour) and DOD (maybe because of the previous tour). The current tour has potential with songs, theme and with 2 legs, but at the same time the set is all their big songs, so it's tricky. It would be more missed opportunities.
Yes, why not. This is the tour to do it.
I could be wrong and I'm thinking about 2017.
Copenhagen. "See you for the 51st anniversary"
I don't know about Copenhagen (show sold out in minutes and Copenhell is happening, so...), but they will surely be back
I think they will do Download. One more show. I agree about legacy bands. The new generation need their time in the sun.
Takes place 3-5 of July.
This gets discussed at the fanclub forum a bit. Some say Download are moving away from legacy acts and that Maiden won't be there next year. Someone said Maiden are "doing their own thing", however that was the exact words that were said about this year so it's probably a mix up.
I haven`t heard of it but it looks to be in Cartegna ,Murcia not Fuengirola , still a decent spot for a holiday though and they played Murcia in 2023 i think. According to their website next year will be their most ambitious line up ever so might be true.
Possibly, since 2017 100% did sell out. Rod even made a statement about how St. Paul surprised him and the band after having skipped the market for so long.
