Iron Maiden have played the first show of this year's The Future Past Tour. The band performed a 15-song set at the 12,000-capacity Arena Stožice in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The set for the tour is centred around two albums, and features previously unperformed songs from the 2021's Senjutsu alongside a focus on 1986’s Somewhere In Time collection.
The set included live debuts for Days Of Future Past, The Time Machine, Death Of The Celts and Hell On Earth from Senjestsu, and one for Alexander The Great, from Somewhere in Time. The set opened with two songs the band haven't performed this century, Caught Somewhere in Time (last performed on the Somewhere On Tour tour in 1987), and Stranger in a Strange Land, a fixture on 1999's The Ed Hunter Tour setlist.
