Iron Maiden concert chronology |
The X Factour was a concert tour by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden which took place from 28 September 1995 to 7 September 1996. It was their first tour with vocalist Blaze Bayley, who debuted on The X Factor album. The opening acts on varying dates of the tour included Psycho Motel, Fear Factory and My Dying Bride.
The tour began with the band's first ever shows in Israel and Africa before continuing in Europe and North America, where they played much smaller venues than they had with former vocalist Bruce Dickinson. Unfortunately, Bayley suffered vocal issues during the band's North American tour as a result of the arduous schedule, which meant that several dates had to be cancelled. The tour's closing dates in South and Central America included shows in much larger venues, such as the Monsters of Rock festival in São Paulo.
