Why would that create any hype?

Not many people care about gigs on another continent to the one they live on.

EDIT: and the ones who would travel, could do without the expense of all the dates being on sale at the same time.

People often feel that something big and important is happening when they see headlines about it one week, then again the following week, and again the week after that, even if it's not really relevant to their personal plans. I think these kinds of tricks are used in marketing.
At least, I know that publicists work this way when they want to create hype for their celebrities.

Costa Rica had 16k on the last visit, so I'm not expecting it to sell out not even with a reduced capacity. The stadium in El Salvador is very small, and although it's not the first visit I'm sure they will pack it up

I hope for 15k - 18k this year in both countries. The tickets are expensive, and the economic situation doesn't help at all.
 
Still no news or updates on maiden or the 50th anniversary tour documentary. I don't understand, normally maiden have teased us over christmas with hints on there website or christmas cards but nothing? why maiden soo quite... :confused: and I do believe 2030 will be maidens last year before calling it a day.

Some say Steve Harris wasn't satisfied with the final result, so the documentary must be re-edited. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to release it after the whole tour, completely illogical and different from all other artist did/do.

Antwerp (Promoter: FKP Scorpio Belgium) seems to be seen as a problem. In Germany, ticket sellers were instructed to send out advertising for this show.

Interesting, what is going on with this festival? Now even Doro is promoting it on her Facebook page.

Cat Milk : Who says?

Nomadd: Top men.

Cat Milk: WHO??

Nomaad: Top. Men.

Wee Indiana Jones reference for everyone in the audience there.

Also, Nomaad, your idea about stopping the Knebworth gig to show some of the documentary, good gods man, what a shite idea. Tens of thousands (final attendance not confirmed) of mostly drunk metallers in a field, been rockin out for 6hrs or more and you want to stop the entertainment for a documentary? I rarely refuse a party invite but I don't think I'd enjoy your birthday party.

Although I'd be totally up for Dennis Stratton gettin up for Ancient Mariner.

Schrodingers Maiden. Criticising "lazy management" for not doing anything to promote the tour while criticising them for advertising it every day on social media, magazines and on rock radio and getting Maiden songs featured on prominent tv and films.

Yeah, the promoting process is generally good, but some decisions (bad venue choices, postponing the documentary, and not publishing it before the tour) are kind of mistakes. There's the other side of the coin, too. Maybe despite managers' efforts rock and metal community worldwide isn't so much into IM as a few years ago. The world is changing, new bands are emerging, styles are evolving, and maybe people have lost interest in Iron Maiden. It's obviously just my guessing, nothing assured. Who knows, theoretically, 2026 should be a great success worldwide, but people are people, and (maybe) there's no big demand for IM shows as it used to be...

How on earth would anyone know that? I smell BS from anyone making that claim.

I am sure the management will approve the final version, but also expect any holdup could be because of agreeing streaming rights.

It also makes sense to wait for Stranger Things and 28 Years hype to have its effect before signing off on all of the above. I expect the benefits of these two major pop culture accolades can help the documentary in all kinds of interesting ways.

A few years ago??? It hasn’t even been 12 months since they did one of the most successful tours of 2025, selling out every show and playing in a bunch of stadiums for 40k, 50k people. It doesn’t seem to me that the community is tired of Maiden hahaha.

I think so (deep in the heart).
 
I planned a trip to Germany and bought a ticket for Wacken, believing that Iron Maiden would be playing there in their anniversary year.
It will still be a great trip, but I am a little disappointed.
What do you think, is there a small chance that they still will be announced for Wacken as a surprise?
The Wacken lineup is definitely not complete.
Why is there this strange break in the middle of Iron Maiden's tour?
