About

Release Athens welcomes Nightwish, on Wednesday, June 7, at the Water Square! The landmark band of symphonic metal will present a set with songs from their entire career, in the biggest concert they have ever given in our country.


Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen, one of the most distinctive composers of the hard sound, created the leading Finnish band in 1996. The release of their second record, "Oceanborn" (1998), brought them international fame while the ultimate commercial and artistic triumph of "Once" (2004) turned them into one of the leading figures on the planet. Since then, they never looked back. Equally important, "Imaginaerum" (2011) and "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" (2015), as well as the most recent "Human:II: Nature" (2020), are prime examples of symphonic metal that few bands have created.

Nightwish remain the epitome of demanding composition with a cinematic approach full of passion, melodies, impressive operatic vocals and epic metal outbursts! The stage presence of Floor Jansen (singer of the group for the last decade) is compared to few and her voice to none! A real fighter on stage and in life!

They will be joined by the Finnish Insomnium who started their career in 2002 with the release of "In The Halls of Awakening". Within the next ten years they would be recognized as one of the most reliable melodic death metal bands, which has managed to acquire a fanatical following that eagerly awaits their every new step.

Furthermore, In Flames will be the special guests on Wednesday, June 7, along with the headliners, Nightwish, and Insomnium, while Bleed From Within is the 4th name from abroad to participate in the lineup on Wednesday, June 28, along with headliners, Amon Amarth and Kreator, and Heaven Shall Burn.
