Iron Maiden kündigen “The Future Past” 2023 Europa-Tour an

Die britische Metal-Legende Iron Maiden wird mit einer neuen Tour nach Europa kommen. Die Shows finden in UK und Irland statt aber auch in anderen Städten und Ländern. “The Future Past Tour” wird bisher nicht live-gespielte Stücke vom aktuellen Studioalbum “Senjutsu” beinhalten und sich sonst auf das 1986er-Werk “Somewhere In Time” sowie andere Klassiker fokussieren.

Iron Maiden Gründungsmitglied und Bassist Steve Harris sagt dazu: „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 ’80s 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 U.K., Ireland and around Europe”.

Iron Maiden Manager Rod Smallwood fügt hinzu: „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!”
