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]
