DELAIN have announced a 10-date European tour for February 2027, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their debut album "Lucidity." Former NIGHTWISH bassist and vocalist Marko Hietala will appear as a special guest; INFECTED RAIN supports throughout.
Dates: Cologne Live Music Hall (Feb. 2), Bremen Modernes (Feb. 3), Berlin Columbia Theater (Feb. 4), Leipzig Hellraiser (Feb. 5), Karlsruhe Substage (Feb. 6), Pratteln Z7/Switzerland (Feb. 7), Munich Backstage (Feb. 8), Frankfurt Batschkapp (Feb. 9), Esch-sur-Alzette Rockhal/Luxembourg (Feb. 10), Tilburg O13/Netherlands (Feb. 11).
DELAIN hinted at "an extraordinary new release featuring unique high-profile collaborations" ahead of the tour. Vocalist Diana Leah (joined 2022) leads the lineup. Founded by keyboardist Martijn Westerholt in 2002, DELAIN released "Lucidity" in 2006 and spent two decades becoming a European headliner.
Hietala's involvement adds particular weight: the Finn remains one of the most beloved vocalists in melodic metal following his NIGHTWISH departure in 2021.
