# Legacy of the Beast World Tour

The Legacy of the Beast World Tour was a concert tour by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, named after the comic and mobile game released by the band in 2017. Described as a "history/hits tour", Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood has revealed that the concerts and stage design will feature "a number of different but interlocking ‘worlds’ with a setlist covering a large selection of 80s material with a handful of surprises from later albums." The tour started in Tallinn, Estonia in May 2018 and concluded in October 2022 in Tampa, Florida.

## Background

The Legacy of the Beast Tour production and set list were inspired by Maiden's free-to-play mobile game of the same name. The first leg, consisting of 38 European dates in 2018, was announced on 13 November 2017. The tour was extended into 2019 with North and South American dates and again into 2020 with Dates in Australia, New Zealand, Asia (Featuring their first ever show in The Philippines) and another run in Europe.
In March it was announced that the 2020 Oceania, Download Festival, and The Philippines shows were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, it was announced that Japan, Copenhell festival in Copenhagen, Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, the show in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, Germany, Paris, Tons of Rock, and Dubai were cancelled and next - postponed to 2021. In April 2021 it was announced that whole 2021 tour was cancelled once again and most of the European shows were rescheduled for 2022. The band cancelled their concerts in Kyiv and Moscow due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in order to "ensure the safety of their fans".
With 140 shows, it was the longest tour with Bruce Dickinson on vocals since the "Somewhere on Tour" in 1986–1987. During the tour, Iron Maiden performed to over 3.5 million fans and the tour was honored with CAA & K2 Award.
The tour was considered both by the fans and journalists as their most elaborate and successful to date. Iron Maiden headlined the Brazilian Rock in Rio Festival twice and regularly performed before auditories of 50,000 and 100,000 people. In July 2022 Pollstar published the list of Top 150 Touring Artists recapitating the data of headlining, soloed shows in North America between 1981 and 2021. Iron Maiden scored position 35 with around 9.2 mln tickets sold during this period.
