Nightwish are taking a year off but they will return with a new tour next year. In March 2018, the symphonic metal legends will begin their 9-month-long "Decades: World Tour 2018" starting with 34 shows in North America. The band will have a very special setlist for the tour, featuring rarely heard material from the earlier era, and they will revisit the old songs with some new twists. To accompany the tour, Nuclear Blast will release a 2CD compilation entitled Decades on the 9th of March 2018.

This setlist will be a 'one-off' and only performed on this tour.
