 NOTES:

* Among Polish Iron Maiden fans, the story of an impromptu "mini-concert" played by the band in Poznań—following their official show in the city on August 11, 1984—has become the stuff of legend. When the musicians decided to head out into the city that evening, the first establishment they found open was "Adria" (which no longer exists), where a wedding reception was taking place. The band managed to get inside and spontaneously performed four songs, including covers of Deep Purple’s "Smoke on the Water" and ZZ Top’s "Tush." ​​Footage from this Poznań wedding was later featured in the film *Behind the Iron Curtain*. 

 

* Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all concerts scheduled for 2020 were either cancelled or postponed. The show in Poland, originally set for July 5, 2020, at the National Stadium in Warsaw, faced the same fate. Because of ongoing restrictions regarding the organization of mass events, the Warsaw concert was rescheduled once again, this time to July 24, 2022.
