There’s been a bit of a lull in the past few months but it’s time to fix that. Nightwish is coming up soon with their April 28 stop in San Francisco at The Warfield supported by Delain and Sabaton. The tour is in support of their new album “Endless Forms Most beautiful” out now.
Kamelot and Dragonforce pop into town May 14 at The Regency Ballroom. Kamelot’s new album “Haven” is set to release early May.
I haven’t decided if I’m going to headbang or not during Shudder Before the Beautiful’s last thirty seconds. I’ll probably be at the front at that time.
EDIT: for those of you too impatient to wait for Nightwish to come to town (or for those of you too far from a stop) the concert from the Hammerstein in New York is on youtube. Much thanks to the poster; live shows online are important. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to go to a concert. For those of us who do go to concerts it’s great to relive it all over again.
