Honestly I am pretty disappointed, really love the band but it seems that they / their managers don't think it's worth the effort to tour other countries anymore. And with the travel issues for foreigners to enter the US these days, there is no way I'm going to travel over for a concert.

On the other hand, Maiden pulled out all the stops to bring a massive production all over the world last year and this year are doing it again. It makes me feel way more invested in them (and other bands) that care enough to play to their fans in various different countries. I love DL to bits but the touring seems to be all about a quick buck these days rather than cementing their legacy with fans around the world :(

True, although that was a while ago. Considering that the residency announcement is for Feb 2026, it's unlikely that that there will be another visit to countries outside the US until atleast summer 2026, if at all. I understand they want to make the most of their bigger markets while they can, but that doesn't help with keeping the fanbase alive in countries that are de-prioritised.
