Parc des Princes sounds like an Open-Air gig - can anybody confirm that?

I doubt they could fill it by themselves ( that's 50000 people). They would need another very famous band ( or 2 ?)

no problem for maiden to fill that stadium alone.
i was in paris gig 9.9.99 and i saw what im talking about.
but i think its always good for such a huge event like that play a gig with some 2 - 3 other not so big/famous bands like Slayer or Motorhead, like Maiden always used to. i‘d like to see some breakthrough new bands supporting Miaden like GNR or Metallica in 88 etc. maybe The Darkness or even HIM this time although i hate these bands

They have enough fans in France. If it's well organised and advertised, there won't be any problems

Personally, I'd like to see an unknown opening for Maiden. My dream show would be either Crystal Ball or Majesty opening for them, but that'll never happen. At best when they tour southern Germany (ooh... Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart... hardly seems worth it!) and maybe they would get Wizard or Paragon for Hamburg. That would rock

they have enough fans all around the world.
im from slovakia and i was in donington 92, paris 99, budapest 00, 03 etc etc.

remember Rods words: IM they will not be playing as much as it was till now.
few BUT bigger gigs.

rumours about stadium gigs in paris and in norway makes the point of his words.

i can hardly wait to see the IM heroes besides the names like Rolling Stones finally.

stadium gigs!
well at last!!!!

You can have more than 50.000 fans (there was 60.000 for johny halliday).
There was a post on it on the french forum [here](http://forum.maidenfans.com/index.php?showtopic=5017), and we are a lot to think Maiden can't fill it...

CAN YOU FILL IT?

If it's true I'll travel from italy to be there. I think that is very probable a stadium-gig in italy too next year.

It would be nice if They came back to the United States. It's been to long since I've seen Maiden live.
