There's no notion of "upcoming" with the archive pages.
To do this, you'll need to create an new tag (in a custom extension).
Here's some quick code that should get you along:
tag 'upcoming' do |tag|
tag.locals.upcoming = Page.all(:conditions => ['whatever_date > ?',Time.now]
tag.expand
end
tag 'upcoming:each' do |tag|
result = []
tag.locals.upcoming.each do |page|
tag.locals.page = page
result << tag.expand
end
result
end
