16 NA dates? Mainly arenas? Couple small stadiums? Then SA?
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.16 NA dates? Mainly arenas? Couple small stadiums? Then SA?
The first dates of the tour or in the gap between Mediolan and Paris?Today info from my friend, both concerts in Pula will happen. He didn't tell me the dates, though.
Hellfest.The first dates of the tour or in the gap between Mediolan and Paris?
I think the same, some strong rumours referring to?!Hellfest.
He didn't tell me the dates. I'm guessing first dates of the tour or after Knebworth.The first dates of the tour or in the gap between Mediolan and Paris?
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.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.
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).He didn't tell me the dates. I'm guessing first dates of the tour or after Knebworth.

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.That doesn't work.

If they combine video shots from 2 different years, this would be an even bigger video editing shitshow than usual.They surely have audio recordings from this year Paris shows including video shots from live cameras (they are recording every show).

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.16 NA dates? Mainly arenas? Couple small stadiums? Then SA?
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.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
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.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.

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.Ghost, Korn and many others are doing well in the States.

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