Iron Maiden concert chronology

The Dance of Death World Tour was a concert tour by heavy metal band Iron Maiden in support of their thirteenth studio album, Dance of Death. The group's eighth live record, Death on the Road, was recorded in Dortmund.[1]

The tour was subject to a short number of cancellations, with the band's shows in Wrocław, Rotterdam and Helsinki being postponed while lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson recovered from flu and laryngitis.[2][3] On top of this, the group's second show in New York was cut short after one audience member dropped a beer on the soundboard,[4] while the final concert was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict.[5]
