While the US readers are preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday, the mighty melodic powerhouse that is Within Temptation has revealed a string of European dates for 2018. I’ve copied the bands official Facebook/Website statement for you to digest below. Dig in.
The Official Statement:
We’re very excited to announce that we will be touring in 2018! The tour will take us to 33 cities in 18 countries, including a few where we haven’t been in a while! Tickets are on sale now via the link at the close of this narrative.
This run of dates ends the longest break we have ever taken from touring. Sharon den Adel explains, “When our last tour finished, I was having a rough time. I realized I needed take some time out with my family to deal with things and to rediscover myself. It took much longer than expected, but 2 years on, things have changed for the better. I created my solo album (“My Indigo”) which helped me deal with my issues. And afterwards I suddenly found myself with an aching hunger again for more heavy, epic music. Then the music started to come by itself. I knew for sure that our seventh album was coming after all. So here we are… presenting our seventh tour and luckily it’s not going to take so long anymore because we are all more than impatient to get out there again!”
General presale for the tour will start on Friday November 24th, but for YOU we’ve set up an exclusive pre-order campaign through our website! Join our new fanclub for free to get access to tickets for almost all the dates!

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Since these aren’t for any US dates I will keep my editorial points brief. We do love the band and have always tried to see them when they come to NYC so I will remain hopeful. 2018 has a lot of space in it before these European shows begin so perhaps the band is mapping out a US Invasion first. That would be nice and something that all of you should see because they don’t come around a whole lot. What do you readers in the European sector of our readership think about these dates? Are you in the regions they will visit and shall you attend? Chime in down below in the comments section.
