The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

Apparently so. It shows them in the walkaround video that SeventhMariner posted a link to on the previous page. It just looks like two huge grey blocks of tiny text, of course.

Sweet, my name is on the plane

I don't know if it's full names or FC user names, but mine will be on there too.

I absolutely didn't expect him to be there. He must be taking it out to Florida himself.

I bet he is vibrating with the opportunity to fly her.

Is the setlist painted on it anywhere?

Yeah, one wing of the plane just says "Weekend Warrior" 16 times in 16 different colors.

The Angel and The Gambler on the encore. And, on a wing, you can read "Naples or Bust!"

I thought the Chinese had maybe insisted upon it...

If it was, we would have sent a PM to ironmaiden.com and asked them to put their entire website inside spoiler tags.

 

[Brigantium]

And the plane itself, actually. An entire 747 contained within spoiler tags.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Except... we don't need to use spoiler tags in this thread.

And here is the walkaround video tour as promised from the same wonderful woman who streamed the landing for us: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/walkaround-video-tour-of-iron-maidens-new-boeing-747-plane/ Again, just AMAZING!!!

Brucie says "72 shows" in that clip. There are only 70 dates up on the official website (& Wiki). What dates still haven't been listed on the official website?

 

[matic22]

Bruce is flying the plane to Florida tomorrow at noon (GMT), so it should land in Ft. Lauderdale about 5 pm (EST).

Obviously the extensive UK tour...

Have you looked at the list of cities/locations on the right hand-side of the nose as you look at the plane from the front?

He did? Interesting.

They go back to road transport after Sweden, so not all the tour locations are listed on the plane.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Listen to him, he says "72 shows". Clearly he's thinking of those two London O2 gigs...

 

[Brigantium]

I suspect the rumoured Serbia one will be out, now, since they won't have the plane then. However, there's a few days free between Barcelona and Milan in July, and also a few days out between Split and Luxenbourg, end of July, beginning of August.
