Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen recently checked in from the band's Australian tour with the following update:

"From arenas back to clubs! From massive audiences to a thousand or two! And you what... I love it! Both type of shows come with their own magic and energy. In the clubs here in Australia we have no pyro, LED screens and massive amount of lights. We even had no stage smoke, for the Aussies have endless rules most wonderful and it's not allowed. It brings us back to the essence of performing. It shows we can pull of a show with just us on stage and the beautiful music of Nightwish, and that's what makes me proud of us as a team! And that's why a show is never like another show! They also come in endless forms most beautiful."

Fan-filmed video from the band's Brisbane show, their first gig of 2016, can be viewed below.
