The Imaginaerum World Tour was a concert tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum.[1]
The tour started in Los Angeles, USA, on January 21, 2012,[2] and then the band played an arena tour in Europe between March and May,[3] and the group has also performed in North and Latin America later that year. In 2013, the band performed in Asia and Oceania, finishing the tour with festival shows in Europe, in a 104 concert tour that finished on August 11, 2013.[4]
A "secret" concert under the pseudonym "Rubber Band of Wolves" was held at the Key Club in Hollywood, California, on January 19, 2012.[5]
On September 28 in Denver, Colorado, Anette was rushed to the hospital and missed the show that night. Kamelot backup vocalists Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz stepped in and performed five songs.[6] Anette did her final show on the September 29th show in Salt Lake City, before parting ways with the band on October 1. Floor Jansen replaced Olzon on the remainder of the tour.[7]
