Iron Maiden unleash recap video to thanks fans for success of The Future Past Tour

Iron Maiden onstage at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in San Diego .

Iron Maiden have released a video to thank fans who attended shows on the band's The Future Past tour, which finished at the Allianz Parque in São Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday night.

"Thank you to everyone around the world for making The Future Past Tour one that we’ll never forget!", say the band. "A big shout out to our Killer Krew as well!"

The Future Past Tour kicked off at the Arena Stožice in Ljubljana, Slovenia on May 28, 2023, and took in 81 shows across six legs in 27 countries. The band's set was in support of their 2021 album Senjutsu, along with 1986's Somewhere in Time.

The climactic final show in São Paulo was drummer Nicko McBrain's final show with the band. McBrain, who joined Iron Maiden in 1982, announced his retirement from touring on the eve of the show.

McBrain's place on the Iron Maiden drumstool will be taken by Simon Dawson, the drummer in bassist Steve Harris's other band, British Lion. His first show with the band is currently scheduled to take place in Budapest, Hungary, on the first date of next year's Run For Your Lives World Tour. Full dates below.
