Nightwish concert chronology

Decades: World Tour (also referred to as Decades: World Tour 2018) was a concert tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their seventh compilation album, Decades.[1]

The band included a special setlist for this tour, featuring rare songs from the earlier era to revisit with some new twists. The setlist was a 'one-off' and only performed on this tour.[1] It is the final tour to feature longtime bassist/vocalist Marko Hietala who later departed from the band in January 2021.[2]

The Buenos Aires show was recorded for their sixth live DVD known as Decades: Live in Buenos Aires which was released on December 6, 2019.[3][4]
