Because Killswitch got very poor reception when opening for Maiden in Europe last time.How come Australia get Killswitch Engage and we were stuck with fucking Lord of the Lost?
I didn't like them personally.

Probably doing it this way so folks dont jump the gun and make travel plans before more countries are announced, if I had to guessThe strangest thing I just clocked is... There seems to be no FC pre-sale for Oz and NZ dates...
Edit... Just seen there is. One week before general sale... That's different.
Maiden fans will travel regardless but the drip feeding of dates is lame just announce all 35 at once .Probably doing it this way so folks dont jump the gun and make travel plans before more countries are announced, if I had to guess
Akirant is providing details of the new artwork on his instagram account
If you look at the band in the background, there is 6 of them and it seems like it's just the SIT version of the band with Janick added. Bruce even seems to wear the light tour jacket.Maiden fans will travel regardless but the drip feeding of dates is lame just announce all 35 at once .
Tho they probably want a smooth FC pre sale and its probably easier having a few shows on sale at a time.

It is an interesting component that they are going to be visiting places that they intended to play on LOTB. Add to that a lot of those territories haven’t gotten a Play Classics Setlist in a very long time. I don’t think they’re going to get any of the showstoppers like Flight of Icarus or Clansman, but something like 2 Min to Midnight or even Aces High could be dark horse choices.My thoughts too. I'd say Celts is the only song that could get swapped. And there are only two candidates. Hallowed and Clansman. They could add a short song like Wratchild or Icarus or maybe swap Madness for Clairvoyant. But that's about it. SIT songs are staying for sure.
Icarus and Clansman being candidates, because Australia was missed on LOTB tour and both were the highlights of the set.

I haven’t been following the leaked dates super close but it sounds like they are going to repeat places. In Vancouver Bruce mentioned several times that they would be back, probably a few European countries will be revisited as well.But did they change the setlist and play only different places in those cases?
This artwork has a kind of mirror effect... Could "Dream Of Mirrors" be in setlist next year ?Maiden fans will travel regardless but the drip feeding of dates is lame just announce all 35 at once .

I doubt Aces would make a return, since both opener and encore opener spots are taken (both songs work well). 2MTM? I hope it remains in rest mode, as it was vastly overplayed before TBOS tour. Clansman or Icarus would be great additions for Oz audience, but yeah, probably not happening (unless Bruce breaks out a laser sword and does a futuristic William Wallace).It is an interesting component that they are going to be visiting places that they intended to play on LOTB.

I don’t think that’s likely at all.I think the southern Balkan + Turkey in mid-August looks more and more likely.
If any changes (and I doubt there would be many if at all) I would like to see Hallowed for Fear, and Parchment for Celts.
There is very little room for any classics to rotate back in 5 Senjutsu + 5 SIT is obviously a given so is FOTD, Maiden, TrooperIt is an interesting component that they are going to be visiting places that they intended to play on LOTB.
