 [RAC Arena, Perth, Australia, Sept 1 ,2024] – Legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden has officially kicked off the Australian leg of their highly anticipated "The Future Past" Tour. The band, known for their electrifying live performances, is set to thrill fans across Australia and New Zealand, with Killswitch Engage joining as special guests for this epic tour.

Steve Harris, the iconic bassist and primary songwriter of Iron Maiden, shares his excitement about the tour:

"We’re really enjoying playing the shows on The Future Past Tour, and the reaction from our fans has been incredible. Being able to play some of these songs for the very first time makes the tour even more memorable. 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. It’s great to be back here, especially with this new show. We promise you all, it’ll be worth the wait!"

Rod Smallwood, Iron Maiden's longtime manager, echoes Harris’s sentiments, emphasizing the band’s dedication to their fans:

"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 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. You can be assured it’s worth the wait. "
