Imaginaerum World Tour was the fifth world tour by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, in support of their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum.
The tour started in Los Angeles, USA, on January 21, 2012, and then the band will play an arena tour in Europe between March and May, and the group is also expected play in North and Latin America later that year and in Asia, Oceania and possibly Africa the following year, in a 100 concert tour.
To date, there are 88 concerts confirmed.
A "secret" concert under the pseudonym "Rubber Band of Wolves" was held at the Key Club in Hollywood, California, on January 19, 2012.
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. 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.
The following setlist was performed at a concert during the 70000 Tons of Metal festival, but has since had alterations to it:
Encore:
One of the band's performances during the 70000 Tons of Metal festival included the song "Dead to the World" and another performance included "Romanticide."
When the band kicked off the first leg of their tour in March, the setlist remained mostly unchanged, but with "Finlandia" moved to the beginning of the encore and "Taikatalvi" inserted to open the show. "The Siren" would occasionally be replaced with "Ever Dream" or "Dead to the World".
Starting with the concert held on March 4, "The Poet and the Pendulum" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" were moved up to close the show, and "Song of Myself" and "Last Ride of the Day" were moved down to serve as the encore.
