For what it's worth, I checked hotel prices in Greenwich following that message for a possible family trip to see Maiden.

Wow, hotel prices in London are insane. I stayed at the Intercontinental next to the O2 back in 2017, and paid around £350 for two nights. It's double of that now. Looking at other hotels at booking.com it's hard to find anything reasonable.

That’s why I said I checked hotel prices, not booked one! :lol:

@Black Wizard is a long time poster here who hasn't posted in a while. I doubt he would bother to post all of a sudden just for a cheap prank, but maybe I'm wrong??? I suspect he heard from someone he considers a reliable source and is putting this up here to let fans know.

Suppose these are the only dates in 2023 when you could meet Wiz in person, at an airport or on a train, sharing some Weetabix and discussing weather, computers, browsers, Internet connections, Dutch female singers and unicorns? So much more fun than just some Maiden gigs!
 
Iron Maiden will be bringing a new tour to Europe in the Summer of 2023 including arena shows in the UK & Ireland. THE FUTURE PAST TOUR will feature previously unperformed songs from the band’s most recent studio album, Senjutsu along with a focus on 1986’s iconic Somewhere In Time record, plus other classic cuts.
Iron Maiden will play 3Arena on 24 June 2023.
Says founder member and bassist Steve Harris,
“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 adds,
“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!”
The band are currently in North America in the final stages of their spectacular Legacy Of The Beast World Tour, interrupted for two years by Covid with many shows rescheduled twice. The tour actually started in Tallin, Estonia in May 2018, the first of 139 shows in 33 countries. By the last show in Tampa, Florida on Oct 27 this year the band will have played to over THREE MILLION fans on this epic world tour.

Where is that from?

Edit: Assuming that's legit, I was wondering how a Senjutsu/SIT could work, but seeing the name and artwork I'm fully on board! Really cool illustration and a solid enough reasoning by Steve.
 
Damn, hype is definitely building now lol

A lot of us were wondering how Maiden would approach a Senjutsu tour with regards to reusing the stage set that debuted this year. Remaking SIT, since it didn't get a change before, solves that problem I guess :D
 
What is that "new album tour" about which is Rod talking about ? Will the band release a new album next year (the countdown on the official website shop with these strange pictograms indicating something coming in february) ? Or is he talking about the Senjutsu album tour only ?

I quoted the whole thing above anyway. Only other pieces of information were that Dublin is on the 24th of June 2023 and tickets starting from €85.50.

The 02 London listing with the image has also been stripped.

Senjutsu, since it hasn't got its own tour yet.
