Nightwish update European tour dates, postpone Dublin and Birmingham gigs

Nightwish tweak upcoming European tour schedule, postpone some previously announced dates until 2022

Nightwish have tweaked their upcoming European tour schedule, postponing some previously announced dates until 2022. 

A statement from the Finnish symphonic metal troupe reveals that ongoing, fluid Covid-19 restrictions in different European territories forced their hand in redrawing their tour itinerary. 

The band’s statement reads:

"Dearest fans, we are happy to confirm the following European concert dates for 2021: 14.11. OSLO, SPEKTRUM NO 22.11. AMSTERDAM, ZIGGO DOME NL (sold out) 23.11. AMSTERDAM, ZIGGO DOME NL (sold out) 30.11. BUDAPEST, BUDAPEST SPORTARÉNA HU 10.12. ANTWERP, LOTTO ARENA BE 13.12. LONDON, SSE ARENA WEMBLEY UK 19.12. VIENNA, STADTHALLE AT 20.12. PRAGUE, O2 ARENA CZ 29.12. TAMPERE, UROS AREENA FI 30.12. HELSINKI, ICE HALL FI These are the only shows for 2021. Due to various Covid restrictions, we have had to postpone the rest of the European tour dates to 2022 and we will announce the new dates as soon as possible. Hold on to your tickets! We would also like to kindly remind you that proof of vaccination and/or recovery will be required to enter these shows. We heartily thank you for your patience in these peculiar times and hope to see as many of you as possible very soon! Nightwish"

Affected gigs include the band’s previously announced dates at Birmingham's Resorts World Arena, originally due to take place on November 18, and Dublin's 3Arena, originally scheduled for November 17.

In May, Tuomas Holopainen revealed that he was already “immersed in gathering up some ideas for the new Nightwish album” , and has actually booked a studio to record it in the summer of 2023.

Nightwish Announce UK And European Tour Dates

Earlier in the year, we caught up with Nightwish leader Floor Jansen for International Women’s Day, and the vocalist discussed both the progress and the backwards steps the world has taken when it comes to equality.

"The ongoing nightmares for many women on a daily basis? Or the fact that things are getting better? Maybe both, because both are true," she said. "The world is a safer place than ever. Women are getting heard more in this male-driven society and equality is getting there, more and more. More women dare to stand up and say no; unite and fight. Religion is losing ground, often a cause for much inequality and hypocritical superstitions.

"…International Women’s Day is for women but I’d like to think it’s not only celebrated by women," Floor continued. "That many men share the philosophy that their mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends and daughters are their equals. To be loved and respected. We cannot better the world with one special day, but we can make it our daily job to leave the planet in better shape than what we found it in, for the next generation. As a mother I hope that my daughter will never need to hear about genital mutilation, rape, or human trafficking. That she grows up to be a strong and independent and loving woman with respect for all that lives – with the same ideal that we can make things better. One step at a time. With ongoing hope and focus on what’s right rather than what’s wrong."

Recent tour reviews

I've been hanging out to see these guys for years. I missed the last time they were in Melbourne and had been kicking myself ever since. I even wrote to them in early 2014 to ask when they were coming back. To my surprise they answered and said to sit tight and they'd definitely be back. The wait was worth it. Almost 2 hours straight through, no bullshit encore and a kick-ass show from start to finish. The band were obviously having a great time and were equally enthusiastic to make sure everyone in the crowd did the same. It's a pity the Melbourne noise curfew meant they had to stop on the button of 11PM. Now I just have to wait til they're back again. One last thing: You can't review this show without giving the support band Taberah a huge wrap too. If they're playing in your neck of the woods don't miss them.

Report as inappropriate

-1 out of 10.

They changed the start time some weeks before the gig so that meant I couldn't make it in time and missed Amorphis.

Next up, despite the tickets saying we could take bottles of water in, the door staff insisted that we remove the lids from our water bottles. We had to carry two open water bottles around the arena. I can only imagine what imaginary "threat" this measure was designed to counter.

The sound for Arch Enemy was absolutely terrible. All I could hear (and feel!) was a smashing low frequency rumble. All the detail, even the kick pedal on drums, was drowned out. Vocals and guitar never had a chance of being heard. I've never heard such a complete and total fuckup on sound. I'd have walked out of it wasn't for

Nightwish's performance was good but the sound still wasn't great - lots of bass and ear splittingly loud. It's not like I'm a stranger to loud gigs but this was something else. Ear plugs helped but it was still _really_ loud. It was much better than for Arch Enemy though, so it didn't completely spoil the performance.

Overall, disappointed. I had the cheaper tickets (£40 a pop) and I'll be hassling Gigantic for a refund. I can only imagine what the £110 ticket holders were thinking.

I last saw Nightwish in 2005 in what turned out to be original singer Tarja Turunen's last tour. Her replacement, Annette Olsen never really clicked with me although the two albums she recorded with them are pretty good. however that has all changed for me with the arrival of Floor Jansen, someone I am familiar with from one of her previous bands, After Forever.

From the fist moment Nightwish started their show at a sold-out Wembley Arena it was obvious this was going to be a very special night. From the opening song 'Shudder Before the Beautiful' to the closing 'The Greatest Show on Earth', which they performed the first three parts complete with an appearance from Professor Richard Dawkins who contributes spoken word on the album, it was simply stunning.

A very impressive, and fully utilised, moving light show was supplemented with screens, fireworks, and flames, to provide a spectacular show. Everyone in the band looked to be having the time of their lives, always something I look for as a band "going through the motions" is always easy to spot, with great interaction between them and the crowd.

Personal highlights for me were 'Ghost Love Score' and 'The Poet And The Pendulum' but overall it was as near to a perfect gig as I have ever seen.
