Wishmaster World Tour

Wishmaster World Tour was the first world tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish,[1][2] from May 15, 2000 to September 15, 2001, with the album Wishmaster as the base. Though the tour itself was very successful, by its end in 2001, it had left the band exhausted and led to a break for the rest of the year before the band started their next tour, World Tour of the Century, in 2002; the tour comprised 97 gigs in 20 countries.
