7th Tour of a 7th Tour was a world tour conducted by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden in 1988, in support of their seventh studio album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. It was their last tour to feature guitarist Adrian Smith until he rejoined the band in 1999 and their first to include Michael Kenney (bassist Steve Harris' technician) on keyboards.
After commencing with a number of shows in North America, the tour saw the band headline the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the first time, performing to a crowd of 107,000, the largest in the venue's history. In the winter, the band undertook a series of UK arena shows, during which the Maiden England concert video was recorded at the NEC, Birmingham.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
