NIGHTWISH Announce Decades: World Tour 2018
November 28, 2017, 7 years ago
In 1996 Tuomas Holopainen made a three-song demo that eventually lead to his first recording contract with his brand new band, Nightwish. Fast forward 20 years, over 2,000 concerts and 8 million sold albums later, the band are the biggest female-fronted European metal band that will now celebrate their 20-year career with a 2CD compilation (out on Nuclear Blast worldwide in March 2018) and with a nine-month World Tour with a special setlist full of surprises.
The Decades: World Tour 2018 will start from North America in March 2018 and after the summer festivals it is time to unleash the European leg.
