Iron Maiden announces 2023 The Future Past Tour

Band announces first set of European dates

Iron Maiden will be bringing a new tour to Europe in the summer of 2023, including arena shows in the UK and Ireland. The Future Past Tour will feature previously unperformed songs from the band’s most recent studio album, Senjutsu, along with a focus on 1986’s iconic Somewhere In Time record, plus other classic cuts.

The first round of dates have been announced to include a kick off June 13th in Krakow, Poland with stops in Zurich, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, London and others with dates currently announced through July 15th in Milan, Italy.

Tickets go on sale from Friday, October 14th at 9 am local time via Ticketmaster. As always there will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden fan club members.

A previously announced headline performance at the August 2023 W.O.A Festival in Wacken, Germany sold out in record time.

“Following the release of our latest album, Senjutsu, we updated the current Legacy of the Beast Tour a little by opening the show with the first three songs from it, with the Japanese Palace stage set,” founder Steve Harris says. “As it doesn’t make a lot of sense to repeat this for a Senjutsu album tour, we thought about other options and we’ve decided to revisit Somewhere In Time as that tour didn’t feature in the various retrospective history tours we’ve played over the years. They were based on our 80’s concert videos and sadly we did not film that tour (blame the manager!!). We have had lots of requests from fans over the years for many tracks on it so we are now going to play them, plus of course a few others we know you will like! It will also be particularly satisfying to finally get to play some of the more epic tracks on Senjutsu, it’s been a long wait! 2023 is going to be an exciting time and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone again in the UK, Ireland and around Europe.”

The band is currently in North America in the final stages of their spectacular Legacy Of The Beast World Tour, interrupted for two years by COVID with many shows rescheduled twice. The tour actually started in Tallin, Estonia in May 2018, the first of 139 shows in 33 countries. By the last show in Tampa, Florida on October 27th this year the band will have played to over three million fans on this epic world tour.

Upon its release in September 2021, Senjutsu debuted at No. 1 in the charts in 27 countries, including the US, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, and others, while landing at No. 2 in UK, France, Japan, The Netherlands and others.
