not arena. not in summer. most likely the olympic stadium or terra "the field" vibe.

Strong rumour: Maiden to play in 2026 two dates at Puła Arena in Croatia.

SAZNAJEMO: Jedan od najvećih bendova svih vremena sljedeće ljeto u Areni?
Jedan od najvećih bendova svih vremena, legedarni heavy metalci Iron Maiden, nastupit će sljedećeg ljeta u pulskoj Areni! Iza ove vijesti još uvijek ide mali upitnik čisto iz razloga formalne naravi, ali Maideni dolaze u Pulu. I to, najvjerojatnije, dva dana za redom! Fenomenalna je to vijest...

This is actually my idea, I suggested this to my friend who organize concerts in Slovenia, about 7 years ago (year or two before covid). I just called him on the phone to see if he was involved in this. He didn't answer the phone, I'll let you know when I find out more.Strong rumour: Maiden to play in 2026 two dates at Puła Arena in Croatia.

If these two concerts at Pula Arena really happen, the band should record a live concert video of both concerts and release it on Blu-ray. The ancient Pula Arena is the ideal setting for Maiden, for their concert video. I've been to a few concerts in the Pula Arena, the sound is excellent. Capacity cca 10.000, my opinion is that a third concert could possibly be added.
Why not, I think they could start the tour here.

beautiful place, but it's gonna be hard to set up their production there. not much space and they would have to cut capacity by a lot.
Not exactly, only a half of inner space is available for seating capacity of 5k. In 2015 David Gilmour played his full production show with 6500 in attendance (additional seats were put on the groungd area).

in that case, I stand corrected. Beautiful place nevertheless!

I was at that Gilmour concert in Pula. I also saw there Marilyn Manson in 2005 and Simple Minds in 2024.

We saw the Arena when on holiday in Istria last year and it is spectacular, a concert there for Maiden would be a definite for me if i could get tickets.
I did also think it might be a bit small with the size of their stage set up but maybe not.
Duran Duran were playing at the Arena while we were there but we didn`t have tickets.

I dread to think how much Maiden would be charging for the tickets if the capacity is 6500!
The venue is outstanding, that’s for sure.

With floor standing capacity is cca 10.000, 6.500 is with seats at floor area. My friend checked that info few times.
Ticket prices are determined by the organizer, based on the overall concert budget (band fee, advertising, space rental, production costs ...)
and venue capacity.
