Nightwish concert chronology

The Human. :II: Nature. World Tour was a concert tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their ninth studio album, Human. :II: Nature.[1]

It was the first tour in which Kai Hahto is an official member of the band, following original drummer Jukka Nevalainen's departure on July 15, 2019.[2] It was also the first tour not to feature bassist Marko Hietala following his departure in January 2021,[3] and the first to feature bassist Jukka Koskinen as a session bassist who later joined the band in August 2022. At the conclusion of the tour, the band began their touring hiatus which is set to last between 'two to three years' following the release of the band's tenth studio album, Yesterwynde.[4][5]
