The Iron Maiden Tour was a 1980 concert tour by Iron Maiden in support of their eponymous debut album. The band's first solo headlining tour, it followed the co-headlined Metal for Muthas Tour from earlier in the same year. The tour commenced with a British leg from 1 April to 23 August, although this included one concert in Finland, before the band supported Kiss on their Unmasked Tour from 24 August to 16 October,[1] immediately following which guitarist Dennis Stratton was sacked and replaced with Adrian Smith.[2] After Smith was hired, the band decided to undertake another British tour, taking place from 21 November to 21 December.[3]
The tour would see them perform in mainland Europe for the first time,[4] as well as record their first live video at the Rainbow Theatre, London, on the last night of the tour.[3]
