Iced Earth concert chronology

The tour kicked off on October 30, 2011, in Bochum, Germany.[3] Prior to the release of the accompanied album, the tour was named "the most extensive world tour Iced Earth has ever undertaken"[4] and that it would take the band "to countries it has never previously played".[5] Subsequently, the Dystopia World Tour featured Iced Earth's first-ever shows in Australia and China.[2][6][7] The band was also scheduled to play their first Indian show on June 16, 2012, but due to visa issues, was forced to cancel.[8]

During the first North American leg, the tour also featured a co-headlining portion with Symphony X, from January 31, to March 10, 2012.[9] During the second North American leg, Iced Earth (along with Hellyeah) supported Danish band Volbeat.[10]

During the first European leg of the Dystopia World Tour, Iced Earth was supported by White Wizzard and Fury UK[11] (White Wizzard was forced to drop off the tour after November 27, due to financial difficulties,[12] but Fury UK remained until December 11, 2011[13]). During the tour's first North American leg, Iced Earth was supported by Warbringer.[9] Evergrey, Steel Engraved and Deadshape Figure supported Iced Earth during the third European leg.[14]

Iced Earth also recorded a new live album on August 19, 2012 in Cyprus.[2]
