Iron Maiden concert chronology

The Brave New World Tour was a concert tour by Iron Maiden which began on 2 June 2000 and ended on 19 January 2001. The tour was in support of the release of their 2000 album Brave New World. In Europe, the tour was called Metal 2000. On the last night of the tour, 19 January 2001, the band recorded a live album, entitled Rock in Rio, in front of an audience of 250,000,^[1] their second-largest crowd in Rio de Janeiro (the largest crowd being their 1985 Rock in Rio performance during the World Slavery Tour).^[2]

The Madison Square Garden concert on August 5 was sold out in 2 hours. Three dates scheduled for Germany, Bulgaria and Greece in mid-July 2000 were cancelled so that guitarist Janick Gers could recover after an infamous accident at Mannheim, Germany, on 8 July where Gers slipped and fell off the stage, sustaining a concussion and spraining his back.^[3]
