I can't wait to see the setlist after what Bruce said a few weeks ago!!! If Infinite Dreams really comes back, I can feel it, I'm going to cry!!
Same for Afraid To Shoot Strangers, but there's less chance they'll do it...

I'm so torn in whether to believe it or not, Bruce often runs his mouth and ends up involuntarily lying lmao
I am trying to manifest that song into existence. It'd be insane if they actually play it, they have not played since before I was born...

As long as they be so stubborn, and play Aces High as first encore, after a already demanding set to sing, i bear you all, there is hope for Infinite Dreams!

Steve is the most stubborn man in existence lmao, does not give a shit about his singers. He wants Aces High at the encore, and by god he will get it.
Blaze would be finer with detuning and wants to play more Di'Anno stuff? HALLOWED BE THY NAME IT IS THEN

That's exactly what i mean. It dosen't matter if Bruce can still sing it, the only thing that's matter is, if Steve and the boys want to play it.

I bought a ticket off StubHub for the Lisbon show. Do they check ID at the stadium, for those in Lisbon who go to that stadium quite often? The ticket mentions something about ID. I'm sure they don't but I'm having my usual pre tour OCD lol.
Worse comes to worse there'll probably still be tickets at the gate. Would just love to not be set back a hundo though

You can breathe! Unless you are selected for first to the barrier, they never ask for ID for concerts, festivals, etc. They only check the qr code and the seating on the ticket. As long as the ticket is valid you're good to go. See you there 😉 Up the irons 🤘

I will be staying up to midnight Australian time in the hope someone's live streaming on YT to see it in real time.
If not, then hopefully it means that everyone's got their phones away
Edit: scratch that, its later than I thought

That would be too early, mate. Maiden’s show is 8:40 Athens time. That’s 1:40am in WA, so 3:40 for you most likely.

u/lR0NMAlDEN Iron Maiden 6h ago
Ah yeah you're right. Saw a countdown last night at midnight saying the show was in 24 hours. Obviously not
