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.
Supporting acts on this tour included Testament, Corrosion of Conformity, W.A.S.P, Warrant, Thunder, Coda, Face to Face (not to be confused with punk rock band from California) and a then-lesser known Dream Theater.[1]
The tour saw Iron Maiden perform in Iceland for the first time,[1] and they would 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).[2][3] This performance, which featured a guest appearance by then-former guitarist Adrian Smith during "Running Free", was released in 1993 in audio and video formats.[2]
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.[4]
