PiercingMetal Thoughts: Though it pains me to see yet another cancellation of something that I was very much looking forward to, its better that there is another date listed for them in the hopefully much better 2021 year. I’ve been into the music of Nightwish since I first heard them way back in 2002 and while this was already several years after their debut, it was not as easy as it is today to hear music from such a faraway land. I’ll close this up now as the day looks to be a busy one but will leave you with the thoughts of my hoping that all of you are doing okay in this precarious time and that you are being smart with yourself and those around you. 2020 has surely served up a heaping, steaming pile of sh– and only by being smart will we overcome this. Chime in down below with your thoughts on the new dates. See you again soon.
