The Fear of the Dark Tour was a concert tour by the English 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.
The tour saw Iron Maiden perform in Iceland for the first time, 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). 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.
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.
