Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour


Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour was the sixth world tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their eighth studio album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful.
It was the first full tour featuring lead singer Floor Jansen, who replaced Anette Olzon in late 2012, and it was the first tour featuring drummer Kai Hahto, who replaced Jukka Nevalainen on hiatus due to health issues.
The band toured United States and Canada from April to May 2015 and in June started a series of festivals appearances across Europe, including two headlining shows in Finland; In September, the band took part in the traditional Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, also with additional dates for Latin America, and then toured European arenas from October to November, ending the leg at the famous Wembley Arena in London. In 2016, the band toured Australia in January, embarked on another North American tour in February and March, followed by Asia in April, and a small tour in Russia and Ukraine before setting off for another series of festivals.
Both concerts in Tampere Stadium and Wembley Arena were recorded for a live DVD called Vehicle of Spirit which was released on December 16, 2016.
On August 20, 2016 at the Himos Park show, original Nightwish bassist Sami Vänskä joined the band on stage to play "Stargazers" with them on bass while Marco joined the crowd. Jukka Nevalainen was also a guest, filling in for Kai Hahto for drums to play "Last Ride of the Day".
The band made their first appearance back in South Korea since the Wishmaster World Tour fifteen years ago.
