Vocalist Amanda Somerville Posts AVANTASIA World Tour Video Blog P


AVANTASIA vocalist Amanda Somerville has issued Part 6 in her series of video blogs from the band's current world tour. Check it out below.

As previously reported, rumors keep circulating about a second leg of the Avantasia tour in 2011. According to a band update, after the December world tour there will be no more Avantasia tours or festival appearances, except from the Wacken show in 2011.

Tobias Sammet remarks: "In 2011 we will not play any show except from the Wacken show, due to commitments that we all have with our individual main bands. That's why we are very happy about having found a time frame to bring the show on stage in December. The Metal Opera Comes To Town world tour 2010 will be a special event that will be neither repeated nor continued. That's why we'll play as many songs as possible and make it a special experience for us as much as for our fans. Because we are not naive enough to believe that this line-up will ever get the chance to share the stage again after the forthcoming tour."

Remaining tour dates are as follows:

December
8 - Tokyo, Japan - Shinagawa Stella Ball
10 - Mexico City, Mexico - Circo Volador
13 - Sao Paulo, Brazil - CTN
15 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - venue tba
18 - Fulda, Germany - Esperantohalle *
19 - Essen, Germany, Grugahalle *

* Due to the fact that this is not a regular or annual tour but an extensive Avantasia-event and experience, the show start for Avantasia will begin promptly at 8 PM. Tickets for the German dates are available at Metaltix.com.
