Nightwish - Announce 2015 North American Tour


As you know, symphonic metal heavyweights Nightwish are currently working on their new album. Today the band announces their 27-date headlining tour through North America for 2015, launching in New York City on April 9th, hitting three Canadian cities plus Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, then closing out in Silver Springs, Maryland on May 14th.

Checking in from Finland amidst all the work for recording their new studio album, Nightwish member Marco Hietala shares the following: "Hi to all! Our work on the new album has been going with serious productive speed and comfortable ease at the same time. It's going to be great to get it out to you and play these pieces live. And with this announcement it will obviously happen quite soon! Here are the dates for the North American shows. Come on over and we'll raise hell and kick some arses together!"

Longtime drummer Jukka Nevalainen will sit out on the recording sessions due to health issues; Kai Hahto (Wintersun, Swallow The Sun, Trees Of Eternity) will replace him. It's set for a release in spring 2015 via Nuclear Blast.

While the band is busy in the studio together with producer Tero "TeeCee" Kinnunen, fans can enjoy a series of five special clips, with impressions of the Imaginaerum world tour. Today marks number three, with a clip for the song "Storytime" which you can watch below.

Looks like I'll be catching Delain twice in less than a year... eh... worth it.
Let's just hope this Denver show goes smoother than the last one...
