I don't expect a return to North America though, probably only a few Finnish festivals? With Floor's solo tour in April - May, and the shows in Asia (if it happens), nothing is off the table as I don't expect a return to North America either. There could be some Finnish shows, though I question where the final show of the tour would be? Maybe Kitee or Helsinki? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 There's been a reshuffling of the 2023 Asian shows, so it's now: Jan 15 - Singapore Jan 17 - Manila Jan 19 - Taipei Tapiei has been moved from Jan 13 and and there's no longer any mention of a show in Jakarta on January 17. Also no mention of the China dates, aren't they part of Asia as well? 🤔 14 hours ago, Moondance said: With Floor's solo tour in April - May, and the shows in Asia (if it happens), nothing is off the table as I don't expect a return to North America either.

Looking at the past tours, it has been Helsinki Tokyo Hildesheim (Germany) Helsinki Helsinki Moscow Nivala (Finland) Ludwigsburg (Germany) Siilinjärvi (Finland) My guess would be some festival like Graspop or Hellfest, but they probably won't do the same festival two years in a row.

Oops sorry! 😁 It would appear that any changes will have to wait until the European leg. I think there's a recent interview where someone in the band implies that there will be a surprising addition to the setlist in November, but I can't find the exact interview right now. 🤔 I think it's about time they play Nymphomaniac Fantasia, we've been waiting all these years! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 Ok I'm updating the above post with some of the videos that are popping up now from Rio de Janeiro... One think I'm noticing is that there's a new stage background setup, with screens but no neon lights. It's different from what they had in Europe, but also in North America (no screens at all). And tonight it's Sao Paulo, a sold out gig! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to play "Kiteen Pallo"! Nightwish announces home town show to Kitee next summer Arto Mäenpää - 8.11.2022 https://chaoszine.net/nightwish-to-play-a-hometown-show-in-kitee-next-summer/ One of the most successful Finnish bands of all time, Nightwish, will perform in their hometown Kitee in June 2023. Human. :II: Nature. -world tour concert will happen on Friday, June 16, 2023 at renovated baseball stadium of Kitee. The concert is organized by Kiteen Pallo, the city of Kitee and the event production company Nordic Live Productions. Nightwish has previously also announced another concert in Finland, which will take place on Saturday 17 June 2023 at Vaasa’s Lemonsoft Stadium. Kitee and Vaasa’s performances are Nightwish‘s last domestic concerts before the band takes a break to work on a new album. Nightwish‘s Kitee’s concert will be one of the biggest single events in eastern Finland during summer of 2023. Tuomas Holopainen, founding member and leader of the Nightwish band, is excited about the upcoming concert in his hometown: “The band let out a collective squeal of joy when we were told about the gig at Kiteen Rantakentä. It will be the last performances of the Human. :II: Nature. world tour, and for me the absolute highlight of the whole round. My hometown, its people, and people from all over the world are guaranteed to create a magical setting for the event . We’ll be waiting in our spots, see you there!” The group’s arrival in Kitee has been awaited for two decades The best-known songs of Nightwish, who play symphonic metal and were founded in Kitee in 1996, are e.g. “Nemo“, “Sleeping Sun“, “Storytime“, “Wish I Had An Angel“, “Amaranth” and “Noise“. In addition to the keyboardist and leader Tuomas Holopainen, singer Floor Jansen, multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, bassist Jukka Koskinen and drummer Kai Hahto will be seen on stage. Tommi Mäki, CEO of Nordic Live Productions comments: “Nightwish’s concert in Kitee, the band’s founding city, has been awaited for two decades. We are really excited that we will be able to produce a concert at the renovated Rantakentä next summer. We thank the band for their trust, and we promise to make the June 2023 concert a memorable and unique experience. In addition to Nightwish, the concert will feature a few other bands from the beginning of the evening, which will be announced later.” Nightwish is one of Kitee’s biggest pride The story of the worldwide famous band Nightwish is recorded in the Kitee Tourist Information – A Nightwish Story exhibition center, which opened in the center of Kitee in 2020. The exhibition presents the band’s journey from a small band project in Kitee to one of the biggest metal bands in the world. The exhibition, which has gained worldwide fame, features rare material that can only be seen and experienced in Kitee. Kitee City Manager Pekka Hirvonen comments: “A Nightwish Story exhibition center will be open around the clock between June 15 and 17, 2023. It’s absolutely amazing to have Nightwish, which has strong crystalline roots, perform at Rantakenttä. The renovated stadium offers an excellent setting for the event, and we, as a city, warmly welcome the concert guests.” Baseball stadium’s visitor record is expected to be broken The total capacity of Kiteen Rantakenttä baseball stadium is around 10,000 people for the concert. In addition to the 2,800-seat grandstand, which was renovated in 2020, almost the entire baseball field serves as an audience area. The concert is expected to be sold out, which would clearly break the stadium’s previous visitor record. The current audience record for Rantakkettä is 7,773 spectators in the 1996 East-West match. The local major baseball club Kiteen Pallo is strongly involved in the arrangements of the concert. Tommi Mäki adds: “We expect Rantakenttä’s capacity of more than 10,000 seats to be filled quickly after ticket sales start. At the same time, it would be the biggest event in the history of the baseball stadium. In the realization of the concert, we cooperate closely with Kitee city, Kiteen Pallo and other local clubs and organizations.” Kiteen Pallo also warmly welcomes Nightwish to Rantakenttä Kiteen Pallo’s Mikko Varonen comments about the upcoming show: “Nightwish is the brightest star in the music world of our region, and the event has a special meaning for Kiteen Pallo, as well as for all the club’s partners and fans. We believe that Rantakenttä’s audience record will be broken with a bang. Years of cooperation with the band members have been seamless, and the upcoming event also shows respect for our cooperation. We are very proud to be from Kitee, and we welcome all Nightwish fans to Kitee for the whole event week.” Ticket sales for the concert will start on Friday, November 11 Ticket sales for Nightwish‘s Kitee concert will start on Friday, November 11, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. at the ticket office. There are age-restricted tickets and K18 tickets on sale for the concert. In addition, various VIP tickets are sold for the concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can't choose where I'd rather be next year, on a cruise ship in the Caribbean watching not one but two Nightwish shows in a row, or in Finland to see them on home turf with all the pyros and visiting the NW exhibition and stuff. 😲 It's probably a given Kitee will be a special show, either guests or a special setlist or fireworks, or all of the above! 😁 They did mention other bands performing, don't know it will be local or international bands.

This could mean that the band met to rehearse for the European leg, perhaps shuffling the setlist a bit? 👀 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBSz6_Kq97/ Also, many European shows are already sold out: 20 Nov - Antwerp - SOLD OUT 21 Nov - London - SOLD OUT 22 Nov - Birmingham - Less than 200 tickets remain 23 Nov - Dublin 25 Nov - Berlin 27 Nov - Amsterdam - SOLD OUT 28 Nov - Amsterdam - SOLD OUT 30 Nov - Paris - Less than 400 tickets remain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
