List of Iron Maiden concert tours

Iron Maiden performing in Paris (Bercy Arena) on 1 July 2008

Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band, founded in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris in London. After several personnel changes in the 1970s, the band settled on a lineup of Harris, Paul Di'Anno (lead vocals), Dave Murray (lead and rhythm guitars), Dennis Stratton (backing vocals, lead and rhythm guitar) and Clive Burr (drums), before they set out on their first professional tour, the Metal for Muthas Tour which supported the compilation album of the same name. After taking on a supporting slot with Judas Priest on their British Steel Tour and setting out on their own headline tour in support of their debut album, Iron Maiden, the band supported Kiss on the European leg of their Unmasked Tour, following which Stratton was dismissed because of musical differences.[1] Guitarist Adrian Smith was hired, following which Iron Maiden set out on a short series of UK dates before recording their second studio album, Killers.

Following the resulting supporting tour, during which the band played their first shows in North America supporting Judas Priest and UFO, Paul Di'Anno was sacked for his unreliability[2] and was replaced with former Samson vocalist Bruce Dickinson. 1982's The Beast on the Road tour, in support of their UK No. 1 album The Number of the Beast,[3] saw the band return to the US, supporting Scorpions, Rainbow, 38 Special and Judas Priest, following which the band departed ways with drummer Clive Burr, also due to reliability issues.[4] With Burr's replacement, Nicko McBrain, the band set out on their first complete headlining tour, 1983's World Piece Tour, after which the same lineup remained intact for three further successful tours with much larger stage productions; 1984-85's World Slavery Tour, which marked the first time a band had taken a full stage production into the Eastern Bloc, 1986-87's Somewhere on Tour and 1988's Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour, during which the group headlined before the largest ever crowd at Donington Park.

Unsatisfied with the band's musical direction for 1990's No Prayer for the Dying, guitarist Adrian Smith left the group and was replaced with Janick Gers.[5] For their next two tours, 1990-91's No Prayer on the Road and 1992's Fear of the Dark Tour, Iron Maiden decided to use a less elaborate stage production following their large-scale 1980's tours,[6] after which singer Bruce Dickinson announced he would be leaving the group to focus on his solo career following a farewell tour.[7] In 1995, the band announced Dickinson's replacement, Blaze Bayley,[8] who would remain in Iron Maiden for two stints on the road, The X Factour and Virtual XI World Tour, during which the band played significantly smaller venues before Bayley's departure from the group was prompted by vocal issues on both tours.[9] In 1999, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to Iron Maiden, completing their current six-piece lineup which has set out on nine further tours. Since then, the band's popularity has grown further than their commercial peak in the 1980s,[10] headlining major stadiums worldwide, while the band's 2008-09 Somewhere Back in Time World Tour was described as "groundbreaking" for its introduction of the band's customised Boeing 757, Ed Force One.[11]

Iron Maiden's long touring history has seen them perform across the globe, visiting Europe, North and South America, Oceania, Asia and Africa, from which they have released eleven live albums. The band have headlined several major festivals, such as Rock in Rio,[12][13] Monsters of Rock,[14][15] Download Festival,[16][17] Reading and Leeds Festivals,[18] Wacken Open Air[19] and several editions of Sonisphere Festival.[20] In addition, they have performed in some of the world's largest stadiums, including London's Twickenham Stadium,[21] Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium,[22] Stockholm's Friends Arena,[23] Mexico City's Foro Sol,[24] San Juan's Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá,[25] Malmö Stadion,[26] Helsinki Olympic Stadium,[27] Lima's Estadio Universidad San Marcos,[24] São Paulo's Estádio do Morumbi,[24] Paris' Parc des Princes,[28] Santiago's Estadio Nacional[24] and Buenos Aires' José Amalfitani Stadium[24] and River Plate Stadium.[29] Overall, the band have visited 59 countries and played over 2000 concerts.

Metal for Muthas

The band's first professional concert tour supported the Metal for Muthas compilation album, which included several other artists linked with the new wave of British heavy metal, such as Raven, Tygers of Pan Tang and Praying Mantis.[31] Having only played in small clubs and pubs, this was the first time Iron Maiden would perform in larger venues.[31] Although originally scheduled to play the full 30 dates of the tour, the band dropped out after just 11 performances to record their debut album.[30] According to the band's booking agent, John Jackson, cancelling the dates "actually worked out better for them that way... when Maiden had to leave the tour to finish the album, we decided to make up for it by rescheduling all the dates they had cancelled for the summer. But by then the album had been a big hit and the demand for tickets was suddenly so great that we kept having to add dates on."[1]

1980 British Steel Tour 7 – 27 March 1980 (Great Britain)

Iron Maiden

Their first supporting tour with Judas Priest took place between the release of the band's first single, "Running Free", on 8 February and their debut album on 14 April.[33][34] As these shows would be their first following the Metal for Muthas tour, these dates saw Iron Maiden playing major concert halls for the first time, including the Hammersmith Odeon in London.[33]

Their second world tour would be their last with Clive Burr on drums.[52] The tour debuted in the UK, during which they recorded their show at the Hammersmith Odeon, which was eventually released on audio as Beast over Hammersmith in 2002 while its video footage was included on the 2004 DVD The History of Iron Maiden – Part 1: The Early Days. Following these dates the band returned to North America, where they supported Scorpions on their Blackout Tour[45] (which took them into North American stadiums for the first time),[53] Rainbow on their Straight Between the Eyes US Tour,[54] 38 Special on their Special Forces Tour[45] and Judas Priest on their World Vengeance Tour,[55] in the middle of which they returned to the UK to headline Reading Festival,[54] and afterwards undertook their first tour of Australia.[55]

Powerslave

The band's longest and most arduous tour to date, the opening concerts in Poland were reportedly the first time a western artist had taken a full stage production into the Eastern Bloc,[12] and was documented in the Behind the Iron Curtain video. Taking its Egyptian theme from the Powerslave album cover, the stage production was one of the band's most elaborate, which included a large amount of props and other theatrical elements, such as sarcophagi, pyro and a 30-foot mummified Eddie, the band's mascot.[64] In addition to the Eastern Bloc, the band performed their first show in South America, co-headlining the Rock in Rio festival with Queen, with an attendance of 300,000 (thus making it the largest concert the band have ever played).[12] Iron Maiden also undertook their most extensive North American tour ever, including 7 consecutive sell out shows at Radio City Music Hall, although the band were forced to cancel the last two nights as Dickinson was ill,[12][65] while their four performances from Long Beach, California were released in audio and video formats as Live After Death in 1985.[66] Recordings from the Hammersmith Odeon concerts were also included in the Live After Death audio release.[67]

1986–87 Somewhere on Tour 10 September – 18 December 1986 (Europe)
7 January – 2 May 1987 (North America)
11 – 21 May 1987 (Japan)

Somewhere in Time

Following the gruelling World Slavery Tour, the band took more time off before departing on their next successful, although less rigorous, world tour.[68] No footage from the tour was released, except for a small clip used in the 12 Wasted Years documentary as well as bootleg recordings by fans. According to manager Rod Smallwood, he thought it was too soon after 1985's Live After Death to issue another concert video and very little footage was recorded, a decision with which bassist Steve Harris was not pleased.[69]

1988 Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour 28 – 29 April (West Germany)
8 May – 10 August 1988 (North America)
18 August – 5 October 1988 (Europe)

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

The band set out on another world tour in support of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, during which they made their debut at Donington Park's Monsters of Rock festival, where they headlined before an audience of 107,000, the largest crowd in the venue's history.[15] The following winter, the band performed in arenas in the UK for the first time, during which the Birmingham NEC shows were recorded and released the following year as Maiden England.[70] As he would leave during No Prayer for the Dying's pre-production stages, this would be the last tour with Adrian Smith on guitar before his return in 1999.

A Real Live One

This would be the band's last tour with Bruce Dickinson on vocals before he returned to the band in 1999,[7] with his farewell show, featuring horror magician Simon Drake, taking place at Pinewood Studios and released on video as Raising Hell (1994).[74] Named after the live album, A Real Live One, concerts from this tour comprised most of its follow-up, A Real Dead One.[72]

The X Factor

For their first shows with Blaze Bayley on vocals,[76] the band decided to start the tour with their first ever performances in Africa and the Middle East.[8] As Iron Maiden's popularity had diminished, they moved into smaller venues in Europe and North America. This was not the case in South America where they headlined the Monsters of Rock festival at Estádio do Pacaembu in São Paulo, Brazil before an audience of approximately 55,000.[75] Due to the tour's heavy schedule, Bayley suffered from vocal issues which meant that several shows in the US had to be cancelled.[9]

1999 The Ed Hunter Tour 11 July – 8 August 1999 (North America)
9 September – 1 October 1999 (Europe)

Ed Hunter

Following the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith in January, Iron Maiden decided to undertake a short tour in 1999 with their new six-piece line-up before they recorded their next studio album, 2000's Brave New World.[80] Tying in with the band's new video game and greatest hits collection, Ed Hunter (1999), this was the only time that the band's set-list was compiled from the results of an internet poll.[81] Smith was absent from three concerts to attend his father's funeral,[82] while an injury to Dave Murray's finger in Los Angeles led to the cancellation of the three following shows.[83]

Following the DVD release of Live After Death, the band set out on the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, during which the setlist consisted primarily of the band's 1980s material, while the stage show was largely a recreation of the World Slavery Tour set, along with elements of the Somewhere on Tour show.[104] The tour was described as "groundbreaking"[11] for its use of Ed Force One, the band's customised Boeing 757,[104] which led to the documentary film Iron Maiden: Flight 666.[105] The band's own charter meant that they were able to visit Ecuador, Peru,[106] Colombia and Costa Rica for the first time.[104] On top of this, Iron Maiden's first ever stadium show in the UK took place at Twickenham Stadium on 5 July 2008,[21] while their largest ever solo show took place in São Paulo on 15 March 2009, with an estimated audience of 63,000.[107]
