Iron Maiden, the iconic British heavy metal band that's been rockin' since 1980, will head to San Antonio as part of The Future Past Tour, playing at Frost Bank Center on Sunday, November 17, 2024.

San Antonio closes out the tour of 22 cities across the United States and Canada, which starts with San Diego on October 4. There is currently no Austin date on the schedule.

The tour will include songs from Iron Maiden’s most recent studio album, 2021's Senjutsu; their seminal 1986 album, Somewhere In Time; and other fan favorites.

Although the band's '80s albums, led by 1982's The Number of the Beast, remain their top-selling releases, their last four albums have seen them reach the highest points on the Billboard 200 chart in their career, with Senjutsu at their highest ever: No. 3.

The last time the band came though San Antonio was in September 2019 when they played at the same venue, then (and not long ago) called AT&T Center.

Tickets will be available starting on Tuesday, October 31 with an exclusive Iron Maiden fan club presale. The general on-sale will begin on Friday, November 3,at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
