Set to bring their latest album Senjutsu to life at their own headline tour in 2023, the members will come to Glasgow on June 26 with the legends performing at the OVO Hydro.
Announcing the news on social media, they tweeted: "The Future Past Tour will feature previously unperformed songs from our most recent studio album, Senjutsu along with a focus on 1986’s Somewhere In Time, plus other classic cuts."
No support act has been named as of yet with the act and more European dates for The Future Past Tour to be announced at a "later date" according to the band.
Tickets will go on sale on October 14 at 9am with pre-sales starting on October 13 via Livenation here.
However those wanting to catch the band live in Italy can buy tickets tomorrow at 12pm CEST - or 11pm UK time. Fan Club Presales begin Tuesday 11th October. You can find out more information here.
Steve Harris said: "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 concluded: "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!”
