Within Temptation Reschedule Tour

Sharon den Adel, Within Temptation’s talented vocalist, has exclusively revealed on the band’s website the joyful news that she and long time partner Robert Westerholt (guitar) are expecting a baby!

At the same time though, Sharon apologizes to fans that this means the tour dates for Spring 2011 have been re-scheduled for Autumn 2011. She admits: ”To be honest, this was not planned, but we are very happy about this surprise! Our children are an enrichment of our lives.” Visit link for Sharon’s comments in full.

Within Temptation are very honoured that the clamour by fans for tickets has meant that the dates in London, Paris, Vienna, and Copenhagen have already been upgraded to bigger venues. Due to this strong demand, the band are pleased to announce 12 additional shows to the re-scheduled European tour. The tour now kicks off on September 21st and will also see the band visit Portugal and the Czech Republic.

Within Temptation are currently in the studio finalizing their long awaited fifth studio album with producer Daniel Gibson. Titled “The Unforgiving”, this is the band's first concept album and is based on a comic book story written by script writer Steven O'Connell (BloodRayne & Dark 48). The band asked comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade,Darkness and X-men) to draw the characters and scenery of “The Unforgiving”.

The album is set for release in late March 2011, via Sony Music in Continental Europe and Roadrunner Records in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, Japan, and Australia.
