Iron maiden will continue The Future Past tour into 2024 and announced the first 10 dates spread across Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The 2024 dates begin on September 1 at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
Killswitch Engage will support the English heavy metal band as special guests in Australia and New Zealand.
Speaking about the upcoming tour, Iron maiden founder Steve Harris said, “We’ve really enjoyed playing all the shows on The Future Past Tour this year, and the reaction from our fans has been incredible. Being able to play some of these songs for the very first time has made the tour even more memorable and we can’t wait to continue it next year.”
“We’re all really excited to finally be able to return to Australia, New Zealand and Japan as we know our fans have waited so patiently for us over the past few years,” he continued. “It’s going to be great to get back there, especially with this new show. We promise you all, it’ll be worth the wait!”
The band’s manager Rod Smallwood commented, “All our best-laid plans to bring the Legacy Of The Beast Tour to Australia, New Zealand and Japan were derailed by the shut-down of the live music industry during Covid but we assured everyone at the time that we would come back and, as our fans know, we always keep to our promises.”
“So, as you would imagine, we’re very much looking forward to bringing this amazing new show to you all and giving our loyal fans the best Maiden show we can,” he added. “You can be assured it’s worth the wait. See you all in 2024!”
The general on sale of tickets for Australia and New Zealand will begin on October 24 at 11 am local time, and for Japan on December 9 at 10 am local time.
Trooper VIP tickets will be available for shows in both Australia and New Zealand.
Further dates for 2024 will be announced in due course, the band said.
