So it’s been less than a month since I saw Nightwish live and they’ve already announced they’re coming back. Are you saying I get to see Nightwish twice in less than a year?! The second North American tour starts in February of 2016 with the blurb “The first one was so brilliant that we just gotta come back!”
Awesome.
The tour begins in New Jersey and snakes its way across the top of the United States and Canada before looping down south before ending up in Tampa, Florida.
The San Francisco bay area stop will take place at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. I’ve been here more than a few times and it’s pretty damn big. It’ll be interesting to see just how many fans show up. Maybe that’s a good thing; the concert sold out in San Francisco so more room the better. They’ll be supported by Delain who also happen to be showing up quite a bit in this neck of the woods.
VIP meet and greet tickets are available and come with a poster signed by the band and a program.
