So, I know Iron Maiden is touring the States this summer, I happily have tickets to their show in Holmdel, NJ. Anyway, I have a theory. I think that Iron Maiden is going to use their brief North American tour as a warm-up for the European festivals they are playing later in the summer. Then, after their European festivals, I think they will return to North America in September and October for another leg.

I think this mostly because I doubt Maiden would outright skip cities like Philadelphia, Boston and Los Angeles. Another reason would be because their new album isn't coming out until the end of the summer and I think they will probably come back to give the album proper tour support after giving us a teaser before the album is released.

Just curious about what you all think. I really hope I'm right, because it would mean seeing them twice this year.

The show in New Jersey has a more appropriate venue than I think Philly can provide (unless the want to play at Lincoln Financial?) But I like the theory, and really hope it is valid.

I think they're gonna be returning to the USA later this year, but i don't know if it will be exactly after the end of the European leg or something. plus, i know they're gonna visit South America and shit sometime soon. after all, they have their own private jet haha.

Well they're gonna have to go to Florida to drop off Nicko.

I dunno, I think The Susquehanna Bank Center has been fine the last few times I've seen them. Granted, its in Camden, but thats just across the river from Philly. I just want to get a chance to see them twice in a year.

Take a look at whatever they did after they released the last album.

Just wait and see though, there's really no need for any speculation - if they go they go, if not, oh well.

They are going to tour the whole freaking world... again... and it's gonna be awesome. I saw Flight 666 again yesterday.

I only hope they will play one gig in Czech...otherwise i dont care about any theories

They're headlining the Soundwave festival across Australia in early February, with a couple of full shows on the east coast. I missed them last time -will be there this time round!
