Iron Maiden announce UK tour including Birmingham Utilita Arena show: how to get tickets, presale details

Legendary heavy rock band Iron Maiden have announced UK tour dates for summer 2023, including one show in Birmingham.

The band have been an ever present on the world music scene for decades, and with this new tour they will play previously performed songs from their most recent album Senjutsu.

There will also be a focus on the band’s iconic 1986 album Somewhere in Time as well as the classic tracks fans have come to love seeing live.

Founding member and bassist 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”.

Here’s all you need to know about how to get tickets for the Utilita Arena, including details on presale.
