Iron Maiden concert chronology

The Fear of the Dark Tour was a concert tour by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden from 3 June 1992 to 4 November 1992.

The tour saw the band make a return headline appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park, which they headlined before a reduced crowd of 75,000 (the audience being capped after an incident in 1988 where two fans were crushed to death).[1][2] The performance, which featured a guest appearance by then former guitarist Adrian Smith during "Running Free", was released audio and video formats.[1]

The tour was also notable as the band attempted to play their first shows in Chile, but were forced to cancel after complaints from the Catholic Church.[3]
