Iron Maiden Announce 2023 The Future Past UK And European Arena Tour

Iron Maiden have confirmed UK and European arena shows for summer 2023.
The world's biggest heavy metal band will bring The Future Past Tour to Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham and London, where they'll wrap up the run with a return to The O2 on July 7.
They've also scheduled stops in Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, alongside a sold out headline performance at August's W.O.A Festival in Wacken, Germany. Ticket details for this run vary by city.
The trek will feature songs they're yet to play live from their 2021 album, 'Senjutsu', alongside tracks from 1986's 'Somewhere In Time' record. There will of course be some other classic cuts. Tickets for the UK gigs go on general sale at 9am on October 14. Founder and bassist Steve Harris commented:
"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. 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."
Manager, Rod Smallwood added: "This combination of the two albums we feel is very exciting. We know fans want to hear those epic cuts on 'Senjutsu' for the first time live and we think that by combining it with an iconic album like 'Somewhere In Time' it will make for another really special tour for fans old and new! Of course, for a new album tour in Europe and the UK we will go back largely to the relative intimacy of arenas and we know fans will be very happy about that too!”
Support acts for the new dates will be revealed in due course. Iron Maiden are currently on the road in North America for the final stages of their Legacy Of The Beast Tour.
