Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers says the band felt forced to risk fans' anger by touring in support of new album The Final Frontier without playing more than one track from it.
A sample 15-song setlist from their current US dates includes The Wicker Man, Ghost of the Navigator, Wrathchild, El Dorado, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, These Colours Don't Run, Blood Brothers, Wildest Dreams, No More Lies, Brave New World, Fear of the Dark and Iron Maiden with encores The Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Running Free.
Gers explains Maiden were faced with a dilemma because their world tour began in June while The Final Frontier isn't released until August 16. They felt constrained to leave the new tracks at home in order to avoid spoiling the album's release impact – and says fans are in for a surprise if they think El Dorado demonstrates the full range of its musical breadth.
And because Maiden's last tour was very much a best-of outing, they decided to focus on material they'd written in the last ten years.
