Maiden To Tour In 2004?

Posted by Shadow on June 2, 2004 @ 13:17

According to a few posts at the Maiden BB, there are rumours direct from the band that Maiden will be touring this summer slightly scaled down in length.

Nothing more around it.

Maybe these are coming from the late 2003 rumors that KISS and Maiden could co-headline a tour in the US...

Honestly I don't see any tour in 2004... Maybe one or two big festivals if the money is good

Cheers

We had the Greece rumour lately and now this. Probably nothing but one can always hope...

Some people even said that Bruce claimed some 2004 festivals were in the works after last year's Hallenstadion's gig in Switzerland.

I hope that there will be another Tour in 2004.
In a performance in Dortmund last year Bruce said that the next Iron Maiden gigs in Europe in the year 2004 will be in Germany.

I was there too, and he didn't say anything about 2004, and anything about the next gigs will be in Germany (only). All he said was that they will come back to Germany on the next tour.

See, that's how rumours get started.

Here's how this started:

In Marshall Law Magazine (issue 7 2004), Adrian Smith said:

"The touring will scale down, but not as much as everybody thinks. we'll probably do 3 to 5 months a year in the summer period"

...and, on the IMBB, the person thought it would be for this summer. The sentence isn't clear, since it could lead to think that there would be a tour a year, but I think Adrian meant to say that the tours would be of 3-5 months out of a year.

Cheers

But didn´t he say in 2004??? I think so
Well if not it was probably a misunderstading.

But I think he said that the next gigs in Europe will be in Germany.

I think I get it now. So Maiden will still hit all the countries they use to but theyll tour for 3-5 moths, take a break, tour, break. Something like that?

No tour before 2005. I would like to stand corrected, but apparently there won't be any Maiden gigs this year.

Well, I don{t think Maiden are gonna do some gigs at big fests like 2003's GMM.
Maybe a few small gigs in several countries in Europe or even the US.
I expect for a long Tour in 2005

Bye

And this is no promise though - He said during GMETID-gig in Vienna:
"See you in December on our next tour here in Vienna"

Bullshit

They never came.... as expected

But they played 8! times in Germany....

As far as I know there aren't any gigs planned this summer....
