The Future Past tour 2023

[GhostofCain]

They are 12 and 15.

In London I believe you have to be over 16 years old to be allowed to be in the standing area. You might want to check with the venue.

Why did the Maiden announced yesterday say that the presale for both shows starts today but on live nation it says tomorrow for Prague?

Fanclub presale is today.

 

[Austrogoth]

Maybe a 2nd date in Prague coming? Looks possible.

 

[____no5]

Or some other shows prior Ljubljana?

Spoiler

I think so.

Fanclub presale is today.

Well I cant access it from live nation

 

[Poto]

Well I cant access it from live nation

Because it's exclusive to fanclub members the first 24 hours.

I am a fanclub member. I have a code but I have no idea how to use it

I figured it out. My first time lol

 

[Runereader]

Ljubljana fan-pit, tickets allocated for pre-sale, are gone.

I'm trying to buy them with no luck sadly.

 

[Vaenyr]

They are 12 and 15.

I was 13 on my first Maiden show. Great memories

If Nicko will be unable to perform in 2023

Where is this coming from now?

 

[Edington]

Where is this coming from now?

In the recent end-of-tour video he says "See you next year, God willing, I'll be back on the tubs". Given his age and cancer scare, there's a fair reason for Nicko to wonder if he might not be around to see next year, but I don't see how that quote confirms he's retiring or being replaced.

Here, about 1:50 in.

There’s also the fact that since coming back to tour post-covid, the band are playing slower which is likely due to Nicko taking things a bit slower and simplifying some drum parts and some kick patterns. Songs on SIT are quite demanding. So myself and a few others find it reasonably believable that Nicko may not be behind the drum kit next tour.

 

[matic22]

I have a feeling that if they play CSIT, Nicko won't be behind the cans next year.

Which is a terrible feeling.

 

[TheMercenary]

Well, if Nicko can't do the tour next year, I can replace him behind the drums.

More seriously, I hope he'll play drums on next tour and stay with the band until he'll be 100 years old. Touch wood and fingers crossed.

Ah I wouldn't really read too much into that, he's basically just saying "touch wood"

It is just good old-fashioned self-deprecating British humour.

 

[Trevoire]

If anything I'd expect Nicko to put some serious practice in over the next 6 months as he knows there's some challenging songs to play and he likely aware that the tempo has been a bit slow this tour.

 

[Dick Brucinson]

I just can't imagine Maiden would replace Nicko. The only scenario that would seem realistic to me is that Nicko is getting supported by some additional drummer. As they have three guitars they easily could have two drumkits on stage.

 

[LooseCannon]

That's insane, how would that ever work? I think it's more likely that you get one guy to start the show and Nick finishes.
