Nightwish concert chronology

It is the first tour in which Kai Hahto is an official member of the band, following original drummer Jukka Nevalainen's departure on July 15, 2019.[3]

Background

Following the postponement of the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band is set to begin the world tour on March 12, 2021 with an interactive livestream experience in a virtual reality built tavern which will feature songs from the album on its setlist.[4][5] The virtual livestream show was later postponed to May 2021.[6]

The band is set to tour in Europe, South America, Asia and North America following the virtual performance. The tour was originally scheduled to begin in spring 2020, but due to the pandemic, the band had postponed the tour.[7][8][9] The European tour was postponed again to late 2021 on January 29, 2021, but had added a new date in Dublin, Ireland.[10][11]

Following Marko Hietala's departure from the band in January 2021, the band had announced in a statement that there will be a temporary live member to fill in for bass.[12]
