If they do European metal festivals they'll keep the Pyro set for sure but they'll swap This guitar and maybe 73 for LGR and WLAHC which have been huge over here I belive.

[edwardcreighton]

Agree with This Guitar moving out replaced by WLAHC. If tour starts May 2025 maybe album is finished and have a new single ready to go, replace 73.

I see any or all of these being swapped out.

Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)
Just Like '73
Billy's Got a Gun
Comin Under Fire
Too Late for Love
Die Hard the Hunter
This Guitar

This guitar, yes please!

So New Setlist or a repeat of this year's Pyro setlist... seeing as most of the places didn't see it outside of Major US Markets??

[motleymexico]

Hope I am wrong but to me it will be the same set list, with one song change at the most.

As much I'd like to see them carry on the Pyromania theme next year I can't help but think they'll go back to more of a greatest hits set. Which would be a shame IMO. I think the Pyro celebration will be over now.

Hmmm...hard to say.

I feel like they're bound to change something but like was said above, last years tour only hit major markets so a lot of people haven't had the chance to see that set yet. And personally, I didn't get to see Comin' Under Fire at the show I attended so would like a mulligan and a chance to see that song.

I think a big factor in this is how far along new material might be. I feel like if new material is on the horizon and a single is out early next year, the set will incorporate it. But if they have no plans for any new material next year, then it seems more likely they might just extend the Pyro celebration set.

The one song for me though that has ran it's course either way is This Guitar. Either replace that song with something else in that acoustic breakout section or shorten that section and add another song to the set.

I have to say that I feel like they've done a nice job with their sets sort of "post-Covid". I mean, I felt like things got pretty stale at times in that 2010-2020 period. The Rock of Ages tour was pretty good in 2012 and the tour off the S/T album wasn't too bad but otherwise it was a lot of greatest hits sets the other years. I think the last 3-4 years have proven that things have gone just fine with them playing deeper cuts and newer songs and it won't be a mad rush for chicken fingers when those songs are played. So hopefully they continue to embrace their catalog and don't just do back to a standard greatest hits type set.

[Shawn]

I'll be amazed if we see a New Album on an off A Market year of touring.  But stranger things have happened.

[motleymexico]

Most likely release a new song to play on 2025 dates

Sadly I strongly share this opinion. Even to the point that Pyromania was a standout seller in the States compared to other parts of the world. The guys are just as aware of this, but wouldn't share their sentiment.

If I'm in the wrong my other take would be they keep one or two tracks from the Pyromania run to save face. Possibly that the band enjoyed playing CUF and would like to further expose the track in a live setting? I cannot express how well it sounded, as well as the track not being long enough to take up an 'epic' song slot in the set.
