Iron Maiden building momentum for album with tour
Iron Maiden released their latest album, Senjutsu, on September 3, 2021. The gold-certified album has so far been a major success, peaking as a chart-topper on the Austrian, German, Swedish, and Swiss album charts.
After the release of the album, the band embarked on the album support tour a year and a half later, starting with an EU and UK tour, which was wrapped up with a show at the Hauptstrasse in Wacken, Germany.
Following this, the band embarked on a North American tour, which was wrapped up on October 6, 2023, with a show at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The North America tour ends the band's 2023 show, following which they will commence their tour dates for 2024, including the newly announced Australia and New Zealand tour.
The metalcore band Killswitch Engage will join the band on their Australia and New Zealand tour. Killswitch Engage is best known for their fourth studio album, As Daylight Dies, which was released on November 21, 2006. The platinum-certified album peaked at number 29 on the Austrian album chart.
