    Dublin, and then back to back gigs in Nottingham and Birmingham booked.

    If finances allow, maybe a trip to the continent. We'll see how it goes but as I have Bloodshed Fest in April, it's doubtful.

    This is going to be epic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭thebourke


    is the dublin gig already sold out?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,473 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    All tickets gone about 7 or 8 weeks ago anyway.

    Nobody seems to have ever seen lower tier tickets unless Maiden fan club mysteriously enough. You'll have to wait closer to time by the looks.

    A couple of cool behind the scenes videos on the Maiden Youtube channel:

    Iron Maiden stamps now available in the UK!

    "Iron Maiden may have been snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but Royal Mail at least has given its stamp of approval to the heavy metal band.

    Twelve stamps will pay tribute to the “bona fide rock legends” – making Iron Maiden the fifth music group to feature in a dedicated stamp issue, following the Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, and the Rolling Stones in 2022."

    Just a heads up, anyone who didn't grab tickets for the Dublin show, I've put 4 standing up for resale on Ticketmaster as we won't be making the show. Hopefully they'll find a good home!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 726 ✭✭✭psychozeb


    In the off chance anybody has one I'm looking for standing ticket on the 31st of July.(first night)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,918 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Setlist from the opening night looks excellent. Won't post it just incase spoilers etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    I wasn't expecting that. Many surprises thrown in. 5 tour debuts (I think - per setlist.com). And many songs that haven't been played live in ages.

    Really looking forward to Death of the Celts and Hell on Earth. Pity Parchment wasn't thrown in as well. Prisoner is a welcome addition.

    Pity they don't substitute Iron Maiden with Hallowed. Would be ideal then. Finish off the main set with The Trooper. Then oncore of Hell on Earth, WAsted years and finish up with Hallowed Be Thy Name. Would be a great cloure. But not to be. Does anyone really get excited with Iron Maiden being included in the setlist. It's done to death at this stage, for a very average tune.

    If anyone has tickets for sale or knows of someone selling tickets can they let me know? TIA



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,750 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    tons of production tickets just gone on sale there now, regular resales available, probably will be available the week of the gig also....

    Thanks, just got a standing ticket, delighted



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,473 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Iron Maiden an average tune?, surely much preferable than the Senjutsu stuff?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    The final 3 songs on Senjutsu are up there with the best they have ever done - Death of the Celts, Parchment and Hell on Earth.

    Iron Maiden (the song) is ok. It's like a rallying cry - an anthem for the band. But it a pretty average 3 and a half minutes. If the title wasn't Iron Maiden, and was instead something like, say "See the blood begin to flow", would it get any credibility?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭MOTM


    Still waiting for Ticketmaster to send out maiden tickets. Anyone got theirs yet?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,680 ✭✭✭savemejebus


    Don't think I had any choice but to get them on phone when I was ordering

    I got mine not long after they were bought and I bought them the day they went on sale.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭CasimiR


    x2 standing tickets to swap for seated if anyone is interested PM me



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    Looking for one standing ticket for Maiden if anyone gets left with a spare. I can see the odd resale ticket pops up on Ticketmaster, but they are gone by the time I get into them. Happened 3 times. I better check my laptop,. May be some issue with my settings or something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    Folks, trying to plan this out. Anyone any idea what time Maiden / support band are on at / time gig finishes at ? Kids with me so trying to arrange some logistics.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 312 ✭✭Suvarnabhumi


    Maiden will probably be on about 9.00pm, done by 10.30-45pm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    Thank you so much. I got a standing one in the resale. €100 including the extras. Lot of money, but worth it for this one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,443 ✭✭✭Cill94


    Saw Maiden at Hellfest last weekend. Bruce really struggling with the singing these days, and show was pretty poor as a result. Can't blame him as he's getting on in age and obviously had the throat cancer. But they need to tune down to accomodate his range. Other guys still performing well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Blaze has announced an Irish tour for Feb, this guy has metal flowing through his veins, one if the nicest guys in the Business.

    Delighted he's on the recovery after his heart attack.

    About 10yrs ago I was at Hard Rock Hell in North Wales, was November and snowing, in the smoking area about 10pm , just behind main stage and I see Blaze, carrying in his own gear in the snow, stopped for a chat, great guy. Felt a bit sad for him lugging his own stuff in





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭evillive


    He is an absolutely larger than life character, saw wolfsbane in the baggot inn late 80s, the rock garden some years alter and supporting maiden in the point, a proper rock band with cracking songs who deserve their place in metal history

    Just found out that I can't go tonight 😭, if anyone wants to buy a standing ticket (transfer via ticketmaster app) pm me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,750 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    standing tickets available on ticketmaster there now folks....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Absolutely banging gig, someone said a few posts ago that Bruce was struggling, no sign of that on Sat night, they show absolutely no sign of slowing down, Steve playing with British Lion on Fri night and Bruce playing with the RAF Rock band in Brize Norton on Friday night.

    Highlight for me was , all of it, couldn't pick one defining moment.

    Anybody see Dublin specific tour shirts? Have them on Maidens official Amazon page for €35, UK only delivery though, my daughter is coming over next month so getting one shipped to her first.

    Funniest moments of the night for me, was on the barrier and this guy had a sign saying 'can j have a guitar pick', every time a guitarist was near he'd flash it, one of the security guys seen the sign, and when Arry threw his wrist band it landed in security pit, they guy gave it to the fan, a few minutes later I clocked him looking around and then taking a fcukin huge sniff, I know it was worn by Steve Harris but FFS, you've just sniffed a 70yr old man's sweat band 😂😂😂




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,567 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Amazing gig. The pensioners showing the young fellas how its done still, I will literally have no one I want see in 10 years from now when all these great rock live acts are gone.

    Dickinson is still jumping around like he's in his 20's, how the **** does he keep up. Over 10 years since I saw them last and they were better than ever, please don't ever retire!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭Bombaby1974


    Yeah Dublin was a great night. Brilliant to hear some songs they havent played in a few years!!

    Just back from UK for Nottingham and Birmingham.

    Both great shows but I think Nottingham had the edge.


    Bruce's voice was on top form for all 3 shows but he did manage to feck up Stranger in a Strange land in Nottingham and Birmingham by completely forgetting where he was in the song. He also introduced the wrong song in Birmingham. A couple of days recovery ahead of me!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,366 ✭✭✭thebourke


    Just back from London.

    I went both nights.

    Bruce's voice is still good.

    Maiden are still the best ever.It will be a sad day when they retire.

    Up the irons.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 111 ✭✭Bombaby1974


    Yeah I fear this could be the last tour we see from Maiden unless they decide to officially do a farewell tour.

    Nicko has had to slow down and simplify some tracks and there's not a lot of on stage banter from the rest of the lads with rumour suggesting they're just not getting on with each other, especially Bruce and Steve.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 The Homeball


    Metal is a very physical form of music which doesn't really suit being performed by an oul lad. Maiden have done brilliantly to stay relevant this long, but it can't go on forever. Harris is almost 70. Fair play to him, but you can't see him playing Phantom of the Opera sitting on a stool like BB King or the likes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Announcement today from the band, more specifically Nicko

    He suffered a minor stroke in January, amazing he is back behind the kit playing every night

    YEah it was fairly apparent that he wasn't 100% on the shows I went to but jesus the man is a legend for carrying on. If the end is approaching then I hope they do a proper farewell tour like Slayer did. One more lap around the planet. Thanks you and good night. Job done.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    Just been listening to Powerslave after many years! What an album,think they really hit their 80s peak here! Rime is 13 minutes of pure magic in my opinion!

    Post edited by waywill1966 on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 132 ✭✭Abel Magwitch


    I love that album and also listened to it today

    It certainly is a step above anything they made before it imo

    For me BNW is their best. Nothing super amazing about it, except I bought it the week it was released and have been a hardcore fan since



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,680 ✭✭✭savemejebus


    I dunno, Piece of Mind always seemed to have the edge over Powerslave for me



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭waywill1966


    Thats my favourite album actually,Revelations is my all time fav track from Maiden!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 367 ✭✭peter4918


    Anyone going over to the UK over the next few weeks to see Bruce on tour?

    Planet Rock on Sunday evening (12th) at 7 has a programme about Bruce where he talks about his musical influences! Just caught a trailer about it this morning on Paul Anthonys show!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 367 ✭✭peter4918


    Bruce was in top form on Thursday night in Wolverhampton. Great venue with around 3,500 people at it. His voice was great and the setlist had one or two surprises thrown in. He was jumping around the place like a lunatic and at 66 it’s amazing that he still has the hunger and desire to do it.

    Great band playing with him, amazing musicians. The only downside for me was Mistheria prancing around the stage with his keytar looking like he was making a dodgy 80s hair metal video. Overall a fantastic show and well worth travelling for.
