Dutch gothic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION have issued the following update:

"You already know that we will be releasing a great acoustic live album, An Acoustic Night At The Theatre, at the end of October. This album will also contain a brand new song, which is titled 'Utopia'! It's a duet between Sharon and Chris Jones, we'll tell you more about him later!

The single will also contain 'Restless', recorded live at our show in Eindhoven in 2007. This single will only be available in stores in the Benelux from October 23rd, so if you want to have it you can order it on iTunes or through our webshop in a few weeks.

A previous message from the band reads: "Great news! We can proudly announce the release of a new live album, An Acoustic Night At The Theatre!

This album contains acoustic live tracks that were recorded during our sold out theatre tour in November 2008. These were very special concerts, as we added an acoustic set to our live show, making our show more intimate.

Besides this we used film projections emphasizing the great theatre ambiance. As we received great response to our acoustic tracks, we now decided to officially release these!

The exact release date is October 30th in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The rest of the world will have to wait until November 2nd.

Soon we will post some more news on the release on the website, so keep checking for updates!"

The band recently issued the following update on their forthcoming Theatre Tour 2010:

"We have great news! After receiving great responses on our sold out theatre tour in 2008, we decided to do a rerun of this tour, so you'll still have the opportunity to attend these special seated concerts. During these shows we will be playing a lot of our songs in an acoustic version and we'll have special lighting and visual effects. The tour will cover 17 shows in The Netherlands and Belgium.

These will be our first live shows after a long period of writing and recording. We are already looking forward to see you again!"
