They are. Just because they're not playing it doesn't mean they can play shows in Europe.(That Maiden would be on their way to the rest of the world shows on these dates.)

Yep, this was confirmed in a Podcast by the festivals press secretary.You know this? Then they'll do two different countries (although close) with no time in between.
Alright, thanks!Yep, this was confirmed in a Podcast by the festivals press secretary.
Why august 20th? Isnt their show in NA starts on 29th aug?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.
Sorry yesterday i saw 2 dates at paris but there is only one on 22.No, it's just been discussed but there's nothing pointing in that direction. The contrary I would say.

They can still add Wacken and 7 or 8 european concerts between Knebworth and Wacken. After Wacken they have 1 month off.
The 2022 tour (similar in terms of schedule) also had 1 month off.They can still add Wacken and 7 or 8 european concerts between Knebworth and Wacken. After Wacken they have 1 month off.
Maiden really are taking a lot of heat for "shitting on there NA fans" the comments sections are pretty bad right now aha
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.
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 can understand their frustration, especially considering they are playing in some European countries in 2026 already visited on this tour.
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.One concert in Western United States and Western Canada with over 100 million population.

I saw the fP tour had a lot more dates. So the venues for thid tour has to be biggerI'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.

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’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.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.
