That's right, I'm bringing you not one but TWO pieces of amazing tour news today! First up, in an incredible surprise announcement (perhaps not such a surprise for those following the online rumours) Nightwish have announced a 9 month tour in 2018. The tour will kick off with 34 shows in North America before moving on to other parts of the world.
The celebratory tour will have a special one-off setlist, featuring old material with new twists, including rarely played songs.
A 2CD Decades compilation will also be released on the first day of the tour (9th March 2018) via Nuclear Blast. It's not yet clear what this compilation will consist of, so keep an eye out for further details.

In a small bit of blog housekeeping: I have decided to temporarily remove the poll, as I no longer have time to collate the results due to my writing deadlines. The winning Sirenia album was At Sixes And Sevens with 25% of the vote. Let me know if you miss the poll, I may bring it back soon - just with a simpler format for the results!
