Wishmaster World Tour


Wishmaster World Tour was the first world tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, from May 15, 2000 to September 15, 2001, with the album Wishmaster as the base. Though the tour itself was very successful, by its end in 2001, it had left the band exhausted and led to a break for the rest of the year before the band started their next tour, World Tour of the Century, in 2002; the tour comprised 97 gigs in 20 countries.
Nightwish's live album, From Wishes to Eternity, was recorded during this tour, during the last concert in 2000 at Tampere, Finland, on December 29, featuring the complete show and some extras, like a documentary with scenes from the backstage.
The band already had played at European countries in 1999, but in this tour, Nightwish debuted at Sweden, France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Russia and South Korea. Nightwish also played for the first time at Latin America, and also made two special concerts at Montreal, Canada.
