Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour is the sixth world tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their eighth studio album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful.[1]
It is the first full tour featuring lead singer Floor Jansen, who replaced Anette Olzon in late 2012,[2] and also it's the only tour featuring drummer Kai Hahto, who's temporarily replacing Jukka Nevalainen due to health issues.[3]
The band toured USA and Canada from April to May 2015 and in June started a series of festivals appearances across Europe, including two headlining shows in Finland;[1] In September, the band will take part in the traditional Rock in Rio festival in Brazil,[4] also with additional dates for Latin America,[5] and then will tour European arenas from October to November, ending the leg at the famous Wembley Arena in London.[6] In 2016, the band will tour Australia in January, before embarking on another North American tour in February and March.[1]
The concert in Vancouver was recorded for an upcoming new live DVD.[7]
