Iron Maiden - Announce First Shows Of 2023's 'The Future Past' Tour
Iron Maiden will be bringing a new tour to Europe in the summer of 2023, including arena shows in the UK & 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 Somewhere In Time record, plus other classic cuts.
Steve Harris says: “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 3 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 adds: “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!”

"Somewhere In Time" is such a great album. I really hope they will be playing "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" on this tour.

Good to know they are listening to the fans in regards to SIT but personally i don't care much about Senjutsu

Echoing the above sentiments that a Somewhere In Time-oriented tour is very tempting; I haven't seen them since the 2018 tours, but they sounded pretty fine then, so unless there's been a sharp decline since then, I'd imagine this would still be worth going (cost depending, which will be a major factor in whether I go to the O2 London show for this tour)

It'll be my 7th time seeing them (I think). Last time I saw them in this venue (Tauron Arena, Krakow) was super awesome. I hope it'll be great again. If they play Alexander the Great, I'll probably freak out.

Written by SchrödingersDog on 08.10.2022 at 12:56 I just saw them two nights ago and the change in Bruce's delivery is undeniable. His range is more limited, which suits the new material just fine, so the older tracks are the most glaringly. That being said, I would not say that he sounds bad. My wife, having never seen them before remarked that he was a great vocalist, and I would still ascribe to that notion. Vocals aside the old chaps were still running all over the place and sounded great. Dave Murray still shreds effortlessly, and Steve is still the galloping madman he's expected to be. Yannick and Brian seem relatively unchanged musically, while Adrian seems to be sporting a bad toupee.
