Steve seems to be good friends with Tony Moore these days, he has taken him out as support for multiple British Lion tours, now Eddfest and this little jolly. He seems like a decent bloke! His act is... unusual.

A whole year off at their age is a very long time. Also, the "at least until 2028" makes it sound like the break might be even longer!

That's just advertising jargon to make people feel like they have to buy, because otherwise there might not be another opportunity for a very, very long time.

I don't want them to end up like Priest or The Who. Trundling on with an ever diminishing line-up of original members until all we have left is Bruce, Steve and a bunch of hired guns.

If Knebworth is the last time I see them I can live with that.

Re Priest, I think that comparison is a stretch. Scott Travis has been there for 36 years, Ritchie for 15 years. The only hired gun is Andy. (to be fair, if KK would have stopped being a douche in time, and the rest of the band could get over things, having KK over Andy would have been fantastic).

We mean that judas priest sound is kkdowning and glen tipton. That is judas with halford and scot and ian. So its good to see them doing records? Yes but its not thr same but that doestn mean that is not good. Check the Gnr show i posted of thr chinese demovracy era. Superb show with ( for me) better musicians than thr original
 
I hope they tour again after this , yeah i would like a changed up setlist but if they still sound good and are all well in 2028 then no way i want this to be the end of the road.
 
With this latest statement, I'm more optimistic about the future too. Why would they even offer the idea of further tours "until at least 2028" if there wasn't a chance of that happening? They have obviously not decided, and there's still a possibilty there won't be any more shows if age shows its ugly face during the second leg (at least in the capacity we are used to), but to me, the pendulum just took another direction.

Japan indeed get the final shows of the tour. Two nights in Yokohama.

Once again they say these are the final shows until at least 2028. I don’t like the wording.

"until at least 2028, as they take a well-earned break from being on the road for the whole of 2027."

To me a "break" means just that. It's close but not over yet, my friends. I'm hoping for 18 and one more tour.
 
At least Maiden know their market, 3 arena shows Auckland, Adelaide and Brisbane and being more ambitious with stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne

To me the wording is like a wish to continue when 2028 is mentioned. Yeah, the plans may not be decided yet, but we know they prepare tours in advance, so 2028 should be on their minds (plus studio plans). Maybe Dave (or Janick) needs a year off to continue (let's hope no more changes), they've all committed to this tour without Nicko and it's a long one because of the break and the anniv. As I said, until 2030 is the goal for the old bands, so a new album plus a 3-years leg tour is possible. Maybe as the final one, Dave said they still sound good live, but they'll know when it's time to retire everyone. Let's not forget that. More breaks doesn't make sense, even this next year is a surprise for them.

Rod also added: ''Plus there’s some true epics including Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, which will be even more special because these shows will be at the very end of The Run For Your Lives Tour, and so the final time the band will ever be playing a number of these songs'' -> the final time they will play some of these songs live, sounds like another hint for at least one more tour.

I think the main reason why they're taking a break in 2027 is way simpler: they can't possibly play anywhere. I mean, they can, but the demand would be at his lowest ever. At this stage in their carreer they're not coming back to arenas, also because that would spoil the demand for 2028 as well.

Whatever they have in mind for 2028, is already in motion.
