Iron Maiden extend their global heavy metal campaign with fresh 2026 North American arena dates on The Future Past Tour. The band’s official site confirms new US shows in cities including Chicago and Los Angeles, alongside a wider run across Canada and Mexico.
New US Dates For The Future Past Tour
The newly announced North American leg includes US stops such as Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, giving American fans another chance to see the tour built around Somewhere in Time and Senjutsu material. The band’s official tour page lists the full 2026 routing.
According to listings on major primary ticketing platforms, the US arena shows are scheduled in the first half of 2026, with most dates offering a range of standard and premium tickets. Ticketmaster’s Iron Maiden pages highlight the upcoming US concerts. This marks another substantial North American run after their previous 2023 and 2024 visits with the same production.
Chart Legacy Behind The Setlist
The current tour leans heavily on albums that helped cement Iron Maiden’s US chart presence. Somewhere in Time originally peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 in 1986, a strong showing for a traditional metal act at the time. Billboard’s album chart history for Iron Maiden documents the peak positions.
More recently, Senjutsu debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2021, giving the band one of their highest US album chart positions more than four decades into their career. That climb from a No. 21 peak for The Number of the Beast in 1982 to a top-three bow for Senjutsu illustrates how their US album presence has strengthened over time.
