Naast dat er vandaag bekend was gemaakt dat de nieuwe single van Within Temptation een ft. Tarja Turunen zou zijn, werd ook bekend gemaakt dat het album pas eind Januari 2014 klaar zou zijn en dus de tour 2 maanden moet worden uitgesteld.
The duet between Sharon and Tarja is just one facet of the new material. Robert reveals, “For the first time, Within Temptation will release an album with several artistic collaborations, some of which will be seen as groundbreaking for our band and musical style.”
Consequently, the recording and production of the sixth studio album is still underway. With a release date set for end of January 2014, it is therefore necessary to reschedule the previously announced first leg of the band’s worldwide tour to allow time to rehearse the live show and prepare for the album’s release.
The band’s world tour will now begin on February 26, 2014 in Helsinki, with some newly added Eastern European dates, announced today, which will go on sale on Friday September 20, 2013. The rescheduled shows will kick off on April 6 in Munich and run through to May 2 in Amsterdam. The band intends to add further overseas dates during the remainder of 2014.
Robert says: “We understand that the rescheduled tour dates are a blow for the many fans who have bought tickets early and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We hope they feel a little compensated by the release of our new, special priced 4-song EP, which gives them full insight into the kind of album we are working on. To make up for the rescheduled dates, we’re now pressured to work even harder to deliver our best and most impressive live production ever on the upcoming tour, however the completion of a great new album is a prerequisite for that! And therefore the only option was to reschedule the dates for Western Europe.”
Tickets that have been purchased already will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

Nu heb ik dus kaartjes voor het concert in Antwerpen, maar ik baal toch wel. Ik had me dus echt heel erg verheugd om in Februari, zo 2 maandjes na de helft van het schooljaar een concert te hebben, en nu is het later. Nouja, misschien hebben ze in Engeland nog leuke Within Temptation Merchandise.
Iemand die ook kaartjes heeft?
