We'll probably see you there then!
I'll be seeing a lot of Nightwish the next couple of years. I got tickets for Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria and the UK. It's gonna be mental!

any idea how likely the tickets are to sell out. I'll have to round up a few friends who wouldn't really be into nightwish so could be a while before I can convince them / buy tickets

By the way, anybody know when the new album is out

Oeneus

The new album is out on the 28th September.
The new single, Amaranth is already out.

Nightwish

Well I'm there anyway. Oeneus, will I be seeing you at the album launch in a few weeks?

Totally! When's your flight booked for? I fly out on the 25th from Stansted at 20:40 I think.

Nightwish

I'm flying from Heathrow at 5pm on the 25th. I still haven't found a hotel yet. Helsinki is very expensive.

I am very curious as to the playlist for the tour. I suppose we're all wondering what old stuff Anette will be singing.

Oeneus

Well if money's an issue bag yourself a hostel. I went for this one http://www.erottajanpuisto.com/eng/

Dorms for €23 was pretty decent.

I think the setlist will be pretty predictable as far as old songs go. I think it's pretty confirmed that Ever Dream, Nemo, Wishmaster, Come Cover Me, Sleeping Sun and Wish I Had An Angel will be on there. I'm praying for a little bit of Dead Gardens or Romanticide, but I doubt it.

Nightwish

No hostels for me! I'm a creature of comfort! I'm looking at a hotel near the train station, so hopefully I'll get it sorted this week.

I thought Wishmaster was gone, as Tuomas was sick of it. I'm also hoping for Dead Gardens and Romanticide. With the addition of The Poet and the Pendulum, I reckon it may not leave much room for my beloved Ghost Love Score. There'll be some oldies I take it, that weren't played during Once Upon a Tour. I would like to hear more Oceanborn seeing as it was pretty much left out of the last tour with the exception of Sleeping Sun.

Malice

This is excellent news. Hopefully their gig will last a bit longer than the last time I saw them. Their set at Download 2005 was cut short due to delayed thanks to an idiot baggage handler from Vienna apparently.
Now to try to round up a crew from Galway to head up there. It's a bit awkward that it's a mid-week gig but what can you do?

Out Of Order

Nice one OP, just ordered my ticket!
Any info about support?

Hopefully not Tristania. I wasn't too impressed with them at Nightwish's London show two years ago. Maybe Sinergy could tour with them again?

Nightwish

Tristania were fantastic! Just the sound sucked. Anyway they've lost Vibeke so I doubt they'll be touring together. Usually bands that come here hire a local band to support, which I hope doesnt happen. Also Sinergy won't be touring with them seeing as Kimberly Goss still hasn't really forgiven Marco for walking out on them all those years ago.

Oral Slang

No, H said that it's tour support, so we'll live & hope that its someone decent!

Nightwish

Well I'll see if I can find out when I hopefully meet them in a few weeks!

Oeneus

What are Rodrigo and Gabriella doing on the 3rd April. they live in Dublin and they kick major ass! I bet their booking fees are quite high though.

Yeah we were only talking about that the other day, but their booking fees are indeed enormous, so can't see it being them!

Out Of Order

Didn't Edguy support them in the UK a couple of years ago? They're on my 'to see' list.
I think Old Season would be well suited for local support.

They are pretty good but I don't think they would combine well with Nightwish.

Nightwish

They're touring the States with Paradise Lost again, so hopefully someone as good as them will support. It was nice to have a support that were almost the opposite of Nightwish, when they supported them before.

rannerap

its not til april!i thought it would be a lot closer

Nightwish

They're going to Americaland and Scandinavia with a detour to Israel firstly.

Malice

Fair play to Ticketmaster, my tickets arrived in the post today having been booked on Monday. I don't remember them ever being this prompt before.

Nightwish

Mine arrived today also. UK and Dutch ticketmaster are on the ball too.

rainbow kirby

Oh, didn't know that... should grab me tickets for that
