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 68,500 (the audience being capped after an incident in 1988 where two fans were crushed to death). The performance, which featured a guest appearance by then former guitarist Adrian Smith during "Running Free", was released audio and video formats.

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.
