Just booked my tickets for these next April in Manchester....not sure what car I'll be coming home, depends on what I can find after the gig :D
At only £15 a ticket, it's a bargain these days for such a top band. Hope they don't play as loud as Judas Priest, last time I went the Apollo I couldn't hear for 3 days
They took over a year finding a new lead singer to replace Tarja, but they've done a good job finding Anette Olzon, who has a voice in a similar range to Tarja.
The new album is vibrant, with the usual mix of fast, slow, heavy & gothic music, with some gaelic thrown in
For the pervs, Annette;
and the gone but not forgotten Tarja;
