About
NIGHTWISH IN CONCERT:
When it comes to all-out symphonic metal spectacle, few bands hold a candle to the outsized pomp and showmanship of beloved Finnish rockers Nightwish. From the synchronized pyrotechnics and gigantic customized organ that dominate the band's stage show to the bludgeoning riffs and synth stabs that drive their music, Nightwish has all their bases covered to ensure fans are treated to a spine-tingling concert experience unlike any other. Acclaimed vocalist Floor Jansen joined the band in 2013 and her powerful vocals have become a highlight at their live shows, drawing fans out in droves for electric performances of favorites like "Amaranth" and "Nemo".
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Nightwish formed in Kitte, Finland in 1996 under the leadership of acclaimed singer-songwriter Tarja Turunen. The band's early releases established them as stars in their home country, but international superstardom eluded them until the '00s when albums like Century Child (2002) and Once (2004) made their way onto charts around the world. The band parted ways with Turunen in 2005 after releasing the live album and DVD End of an Era, but in 2007 they reemerged with a new lead singer -- Anette Olzon from Sweden. The band recorded two chart-topping albums with Olzon -- 2007's Dark Passion Play and 2011's Imaginaerum -- before her pregnancy led them to seek her replacement for the Imaginaerum World Tour. Floor Jansen was announced as Olzon's permanent replacement in 2013, and she quickly earned rave reviews with her impassioned performances on the road. With their 2015 album featuring Jansen already generating buzz, Nightwish have fans chomping at the bit to catch their fresher-than-ever live show in the flesh.

by M. A. on 2022-05-08History - TorontoI could not believe I was there... front row centre... tears came to my eyes when they first walked out onto the stage. and it only got better from there. A moment in life I will truly treasure and try to relive over and over again. They (Nightwish) deserve so mush more North American support. 85k fans at Wacken Open Air and 2500 at History in Toronto. I was there. "...Dear child, stop working, go play Forget every rule There's no fear in a dream...."

by T. K. on 2022-05-08History - TorontoBoth Nightwish and the opening act, Beast in Black were absolutely great. I can honestly say that, even though I didn’t know all the songs, there wasn’t one that I didn’t like. The venue (History, in Toronto) was quite intimate, and although it was standing only, the time seemed to fly by due to the quality of the performances. The crowd was also into the music and you could see that everyone was enjoying themselves.

by Andhey on 2022-05-07History - TorontoWent to see Beast in Black, but having not seen Nightwish live before this was a rare event for me. Beast in black were missing a guitarist to illness but still put in a great opening performance playing many of their hits. Nightwish showed their experience as a headliner by delivering a set that left the crowd wanting more, outstanding vocals and Definitely one of the best live performances I have witnessed.

by Leberette on 2022-05-07History - TorontoHad a blast! I wish the stage was a bit higher so performers were more visible. Would gladly see more shows here
Rating: 4 out of 5 Fantastic show!
by Crymsan on 2022-05-07History - TorontoBoth Beast in Black and Nightwish were amazing live. Staff were polite and helpful. The venue was nice however, it was in a somewhat strange location compared to other shows I've attended in Toronto.

by Wishmaster on 2022-05-07History - TorontoSecond time seeing Nightwish live. The history venu sounds great and is small enough that shows still have that more intimate feel. As for Nightwish... Amazing l. We drove 4.5 hours to see them and was not disappointed. Floors vocals are awe inspiring and even without Marco they put on an amazing show. If you have ever been on the fence about seeing them live do yourself a favour and go!! Great price to see an amazing band.

Rating: 5 out of 5 an evening with symphonic metal titans Nightwish
by MariyaEmre on 2022-05-07History - TorontoThat was incredibly cool! Sound and lights, ambience, everything was perfect. Nightwish is my number one love among metal bands, so my dream came true that night, I saw them on the stage, and it was a blast! I wish I could go to all their concerts, haha)) The new bass guitarist Jukka Koskinen replacing Marco, was also great; I really liked him, and I hope he will stay in the band permanently. You rock, Nightwish!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent band
by Motoring mama on 2022-05-07History - TorontoHad a very positive experience. The band NightWish was amazing!! The venue History was great, loved that it’s not an over crowded stadium. The staff was very accommodating. We had great seats! Even though the opening band was down a member they gave it there all. The only negative thing was they have tv’s that announce up coming events that were not turned off till after the main band came on, I found it very distracting.

by Macara on 2022-05-07History - TorontoFirst time seeing a show at History and seeing my favorite band Nightwish! Everything about the experience was positive. Easy flow of access to get in. The venue was clean and nice open concept. The sound was great and lighting was good. Liked how the place was set up from the stage, to the bar and the location of where the merchandise was sold. Would definitely go see more shows there. Also the location is good with plenty of parking. Thanks History for the positive experience!
