Edmonton was fed a healthy dose of gothic rock on Thursday March 3rd, as Finland's very own, Nightwish, stormed the stage at the Winspear Centre, delivering a crushing set full of gothic melodies, which had their sold out Edmonton crowd on their feet, dancing, headbanging and singing along to every song.
With the likes of Sonata Arctica and Delain at Nightwish's side, this trio of symphonic-rockers are the first to have performed a show of this nature on the stage of the Winspear Centre; The home of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, as well as the venue of choice for most stand-up comedians who tour through the city. Despite being an out-of-the-ordinary tour to be performing on one of Edmonton's most pristine stages, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica and Delain, each, put on a display of intricate, musical mastery in every way possible, leaving memorable impressions on those who gathered to the venue for the evening.
