Nightwish To Record Forthcoming Wacken Festival Performance For Live DVD
Thursday, 01 August 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
Nightwish have reached triple-platinum status for their latest studio album 'Imaginaerum' in Finland and gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others). The Finnish symphonic metallers are now approaching the end of their album cycle, and the last three live shows in support of 'Imaginaerum' are closing in.
So to celebrate the grand-finale, Nightwish are recording the entire show of Germany's upcoming Wacken Open Air – the world’s biggest heavy metal festival – for a live DVD/Blu-ray. Mastermind and keyboardistTuomasHolopainen said:
“The time has come soon to wrap up the magical and memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on August 3. This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DvD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film!"
