The upcoming American tour for Nightwish’s “Endless Forms Most Beautiful” tour has Delain and Sabaton, two headliners in their own right, as support. I’ve seen all three bands quite a few times on various tours in San Francisco. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Nightwish. The San Francisco show in October 2012 was one of the first with Floor on vocals and she was still not at her best. Now that she’s had a good three years and countless concerts she should be magical. I did see her last year with ReVamp when they came to town accompanied by Sabaton and Iced-motherfucking-Earth.
It has just been announced that the European leg will have Arch Enemy and Amorphis. The genres are a little more mixed for Europe compared to the American tour but I don’t think that’s a problem. All of the bands involved are ones I love to see and have spent many an hour headbanging to them.
At least I won’t have to be reminded of my car being stolen. Whoops, too late.
