There will be also an interview soon on our pages !

Troy Donockley will be with Nightwish for all the European tour ! (And also for some US shows)

A short video of Tuomas to the French fans is available here.

Sorry for the audio, it's just fucked up... We'll try to do better tonight !

Here is what he said :

It’s about 30 minutes after the first show we did in Paris. It may have been the best show so far for the tour. It was fantastic to play for you all tonight. Thank you for liking it. I’m so larupt (?) now! Check it out from the dictionary “LAR-RU-PT”, ok? That’s all (Thank you so much).

(According to Tuomas, Lar-ru-pt means “Drunk beyond belief”)

This is the word for the yesterday show !

Troy Donockley was there and played The Islander and Last Of The Wilds with the band ! They also play a new intro of the show, for the occasion !

Troy will also be there tonight !

We'll be in Bruxelles next saturday to bring you back some pictures !

At last, you can watch an exclusive 5 minute preview of Nightwish's upcoming CD/DVD "Made In Hong Kong (and in various other places...)" on the band's MySpace page. Click here !

According to the video of their rehearsal, Nightwish will play "Romanticide" for their next shows !! It will be the first time the song is played live !

You can see the video by clicking here !

Thanx to Veenwater !

- A video of some rehearsals for the next tour is available here ! You can see the new stage, the set decoration and some pyro elements! You also can win some Nightwish tickets on Veenwaters.com !

- Marco joined the band Sapattivuosi, whose particularity is to cover some of the songs by Black Sabbath in Finnish. You can discover the band (and one of their songs' video) here!

- Nightwish will offer two signing sessions in Germany on March 20th and 21st, respectively in Karlsruhe and Erfurt where they will perform. For the moment, there is no signing session planned in France.

- Rock Sound website offers you the possibility to ask a question to Anette, Marco or Tuomas. If you want to participate, you need to send your question, in English, and as soon as possible, to this address: rsvp@rock-sound.net

- New extracts from the “Made in Hong-Kong” EP are available here! They are quite long and in good quality. Let me remind you that if this EP is released on March 13th as planned, you will have to wait for Monday, March 16th to find it in French shops since the release of CDs are scheduled on Mondays in France (while it is on Friday in Germany).

Denis Goria, who is a photographer for Nightwish and Pain – among others – offers us a video of « Wish I Had An Angel » which was shot in Toulouse (France), last April ! It was originally planned to put this video on “Made In Hong Kong”, as a bonus, but it was eventually left out since the band preferred only to put new era songs on the EP:

We thank Denis and Nightwish’s staff for authorizing us to put this video on our website !
