Delain on Tour
This Dutch collective finds a tremendous sound in their symphonic metal. For more than 15 years, Delain has soared at the forefront of hard rock, creating versatile, powerful music that has captured listeners worldwide.
Formed in 2002 by Martijn Westerholt after he left Within Temptation due to illness, Delain would rise like a phoenix. First, Westerholt teamed up with Charlotte Wessels, a singer trained in classical and jazz music. They quickly signed to Roadrunner Records and started working in the studio, where Westerholt put together a dream team of studio musicians that included Marco Hietala of Nightwish and Ad Sluijter of Epica. Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation added guest vocals.
In 2006, Delain released Lucidity, which peaked at No. 43 on the Dutch charts. Although Westerholt originally had envisioned Delain as more of a recording collective than a touring band, the album's success caused him to reconsider, and he formed a live band and toured behind the record.
In 2009, Delain released their second album, April Rain, which reached No. 1 on the Dutch Alternative Top 30 chart and also charted in Germany, Switzerland, France, and Japan. The band went on tour again and hit the European festival circuit extensively, playing Hellfest, Lowlands, Wacken Open Air, Sonisphere, and more.
The band released their third album, We Are the Others, in 2013. Warner Music's purchase of Roadrunner Records caused some tumult with the album's release date. When it finally came out, it landed on all the same charts Delain had previously hit, but also charted at No. 3 on the U.K. Rock chart and No. 23 on U.S. Heatseekers Albums. On their next tour, Delain headlined the Dames of Darkness festival in the U.K.
Delain's 2019 European tour runs from April to June before a hop across the pond to tour the U.S. from mid-September until the end of October.
I loved not only the concert of Delain but the orders. The level floor of the theatre is made with an angle that let you see the stage even when taller people is in the front of you so I loved this place as well. I would like to repeat there with more concerts
I bought 2 meet and greet VIP tickets and am so glad I did! The 2 main acts- Delain and Amorphus all signed my ticket and shook my hand and I got to speak to a few of them personally. Not really rushed. We got to have a group photo with all 3 acts- Anneke, Delaon and Amorphus! The pictures will be on their websites soon! The performances were awesome starting with Anneke's sweet acoustic set and her amazingly beautiful melodic voice is so sweet to listen to! Love her! Amorphus was great! I am not the biggest fan but they put on a great show! Delain put on an awesome, amazing show! The drummer had a visa problem so theAmorphus drummer filled in. He did a great job. Charlotte is a sweet Goddess! She is such a comsummate frontwoman! Pulling the crowd into every song to participate! She is not only stunningly beautiful buy so talented and with such a beautiful melodic voice all her own! She just owns the stage! I cannot wait to see them again!
I have seen this band 3 times and I have never ever been disappointed in their show and their showmanship in delivering a fantastic show that is to be seen to believe!!!
