Fugazi Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just a heads up, tickets pre-sales for some of the North American venues have started already, and for most if not all venues public sales will start on Friday 15th. https://www.ticketmaster.ca/nightwish-tickets/artist/874704 https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ917GdM0/nightwish-events For instance, Toronto tickets are already available to American Express cardholders. @Moondance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the positive tested persons are rising in the Netherlands at the moment. This with over 80% of the 12 + persons fully vaccinated! 83% of the persons on the IC are not vaccinated. With the current figures I'm afraid that the 70% rule will stay on for the rest of the year. As far as I can see there is room in the venue agenda and as well the NW agenda for a third show straight before or after the current planned shows in Amsterdam to get in everybody who bought a ticket. Lets hope for the best... Can't wait to see them again. 🤘 Edited October 14, 2021 by mabla 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 It would appear that they are confirming the European shows one by one, like they just did with Budapest. So it won't be all-or-nothing this time, they will play where they can and postpone whenever the rules make it impossible to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartanguy83 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 A few more changes to the tour were tweeted out this morning. Also IG and YT messages. BTW, I got my May 10 tix directly from Live Nation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Yes, the Europe tour goes from 25 to only 10 shows, but I suppose it's better than postponing the whole thing for another 6 months. My understanding is that the cancelled shows will be rescheduled to a second leg of the tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Lots of news this week while I was super busy at work, with the biggest being the unfortunate postponement of the two sold-out Amsterdam shows, which is a major disappointment and a huge setback for the tour. 😔 That said, we're 24 hours away from the first show of this shortened European tour, in Oslo. I don't know if there have been more rehearsals during the forced break, but I expect identical setlists to the Finnish shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Alright, the Olso show is about to start.

Fugazi Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Ok I have updated the setlist, it's a very complete set with pretty much everything that has been played so far on the tour. Only missing are Sleeping Sun and Alpenglow I think. Edit: Ok so far Alpenglow, Bless The Child and Pan have only been played at the virtual shows (where's that DVD? ☠️😄) Also, this is the first time She Is My Sin is played since the virtual shows. More videos coming as they're made available on YouTube. I'm building a playlist of available videos on the forum's YouTube channel. And of course the Oslo Royal Palace. 😮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yes, despite the low quality videos it all sounds pretty good! 👍 They even snuck in a tribute to Alexi Laiho, Children Of Bodom guitarist and singer who died last year, during The Greatest Show On Earth...

Spartanguy83 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I love the Ad Astra outro too. I'm trying to figure out what was on the flag pole atop of what I presume is the White House. I can't quite make it out. I love it...hope they keep it on the US leg of the tour. I say that as an American! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 It's actually the Oslo Royal Palace, and they use a new image for each show! Look here for pics from some of the earlier shows. So in the USA they will probably show some famous local landmarks, if they use the screens of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Ok there are now YouTube recordings of all the songs, so I have updated the links above and the playlist where you can get a good feel of the whole show. Lovely show and lots of energy despite the fragmented touring that must be difficult to deal with. Can't wait for recordings with proper audio! 🔥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 There's now an "European Tour 2022" planned, with the postponed 2021 shows, now also including Budapest, Vienna and Prague.

My spot empty once again. It is harder and harder to bounce back and accept the situation. Harder to trust our governments who set out expectations and make promises no one can keep. That word group immunity disappeared from the lips of the ones leading us through this mess. It’s not a percentage of people that needs to become immune. We all need to be in order to get the situation under control. But what do I know? As a singer? I am, as the vast majority of you reading this, not educated to know what to do. We are all depending on the knowledge of others. It’s also easy to blame others for things going wrong! And I try really hard to keep my faith in those who work around the clock to fight this pandemic. But in all honesty, that gets harder and harder too. Every country makes their own truth and for us musicians and all who work with us it’s an impossible and ever changing puzzle we make daily in order to understand what we can and can’t do. The cancellation of more shows took the air from my lungs and drained me from my energy. And I can’t say I recovered because I don’t know when things really go better again! I feel sad for myself. And I take time to be that…. But my problems are still luxury problems next to the ones the hospitals fase daily. Next to those of people who where in desperate need of a surgery, a treatment or a test of some sort. The problems people will have because they didn’t go to the doctor in time. The undetected cancers, the growing physical and mental problems we haven’t seen yet. Today I won’t sing with Nightwish in a sold out Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. Not tomorrow either. By far the most shows of our European tour moved to next year again. We’re in this together! If we all do our bit we can go back to living! Stay healthy and sane and take good care of yourself and each other ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanguy83 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wonder what the quick little discussion between Tuomos and Floor was about? Had a little surprised look on his face. Not in a bad way either. That note she held at the end was beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
