In March 2018, symphonic metal legends Nightwish 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 excitingly for both band and fans, they will revisit the old songs with some new twists. This setlist will be a 'one-off' and only performed on this Decades: World Tour 2018.

To accompany the tour, Nuclear Blast will release a 2CD compilation, Decades, on March 9th, 2018.
