Brave New World Tour

The Brave New World Tour by Iron Maiden began on 2 June 2000 and ended on 19 January 2001. (The three 2002 dates listed below were fundraisers for former drummer Clive Burr rather than part of the tour.) It supported their 2000 album Brave New World. In Europe, the tour was called Metal 2000. The initial batch of dates included just one in Iron Maiden's homeland. "Everybody in the band would like to do a thirty-date tour of 1,500-2,000-seaters," maintained Bruce Dickinson, "but we've got a tour booked in Europe this summer and we will be playing to over two million people in two months. Newbridge Memorial Hall will have to wait for a while!"[1]

Iron Maiden concert chronology

On 19 January 2001, the band recorded Rock in Rio in front of an audience of 250,000,[2] their second-largest crowd in Rio de Janeiro (the largest crowd being their 1985 Rock in Rio performance during the World Slavery Tour).[3]

The Madison Square Garden concert on 5 August sold out in two hours. Three dates scheduled for Germany, Bulgaria and Greece in mid-July 2000 were cancelled so guitarist Janick Gers could recover after an accident at Mannheim, Germany, on 8 July: he slipped, fell off the stage, sustained a concussion and sprained his back.[4]
