Pinging @RALFFPL: Regarding your revert, please show me where in this source it states there were 100,000 at the festival (let alone at their particular performance), and that it was their "largest performance as a festival headliner in the United States". I don't see it confirmed. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 17:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I linked the info once again - as the report says there were 100k people in attendance, and - as I perfectly know the history of Iron Maiden shows, they have never ever played for such a big audience in the States as headliner. I know we can't find this info straight out of the linked article, but it's kind of my personal analytic invention as an author of this part of Wiki info. There's an Iron Maiden site entitled Iron Maiden Italia and a few others where people concluded attendance figures and the fact Iron Maiden played their biggest headlining show in the States. For everyone who monitoring their tours, it's obvious. I must admit haven't seen a few days-long festival reports where the journalists shared info on how many people attended particular shows or days. Just think about Wacken Open Air, Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, or even Rock in Rio - the reports bring the general attendance data. It's just the standard. Nobody doesn't know how many people attended Power Trip 2023 on each show. The article shared by a reliable source as Louder Sound/Metal Hammer says the attendance figure that I mentioned. So, it's simple. Maybe I'm wrong but have never read on WIKI about festival performances with attendance reports describing the results of particular bands or days - just headlining performers. I thought it was obvious. And once again - if you want to change something in the articles, PLEASE talk about the problem with an AUTHOR. Deleting the data is so easy, and restoring that - is not.

You might want to take a look at both WP:NOR and also WP:BRD. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 18:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
