From comments Dave Murray has said this week, about Maiden packing it in before they fall apart, I genuinely think this will be the last tour - or at least on this level. Wouldn't be surprised if it extends through 2027, albeit while only plotted for 2026 as it stands, and then they call it quits live.
I do love me some Biffy Clyro too, but not sure they'll get the nod again unless they are struggling. (I do love advance planning like this though.)
Not sure about that, Zagreb isn't that far away, and it's a festival date to conclude the tour so could be any of 23rd to 25th, plus that leaves plenty of time to hop back to the UK, do a spot of Glasto, then home.
She seemed to be having a great time last year, definitely think she'd be happy to be asked back.
My guesses:
2026: Deftones, Iron Maiden, Ghost
2027: Bad Omens, System Of A Down, Parkway Drive
2028: Biffy Clyro, My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit
2029: Spiritbox, Metallica, Bring Me The Horizon
I want to fit Linkin Park in there somewhere. I could see it being them just as much as Maiden next year. It鈥檒l be one or the other, I think.
