Within Temptation announce ‘The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality’ livestream

WITHIN TEMPTATION have announced a special livestream!

Titled The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality, the special livestream from the symphonic metal titans is set to take place on July 8th and July 9th from 19:00 BST. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.

The livestream will be fuelled by bleeding-edge technology that enables the band to do a performance that intends to be out of this world. In the one hour show the band will play a variety of newer and older songs in four different worlds, that interact with both the band and the music. Expect guest singers from all over the world to join the band on stage for striking duets in even more striking settings.

Speaking about the livestream, vocalist Sharon Den Adel says, “during the whole pandemic we weren’t keen on doing a livestream. The magic of seeing and hearing a band perform live – combined with the energy of the crowd – is something you cannot simply recreate with a livestream. So, for a long time we were clueless. One thing we knew for sure: we would not compromise on a livestream if we could offer something out of the ordinary, something jaw dropping, intriguing, spectacular and mythical!

Then we found it: a world that we could shape into our wildest fantasies and in which we, as a band, could perform while still maintaining the dynamics and magic of our traditional live-show. We are absolutely thrilled to invite you to WITHIN TEMPTATION: The Aftermath – A Show In A Virtual Reality. A show that takes place in different scenes of a post-apocalyptic world, in which we are witness of the aftermath of destruction of mankind. A world in which it is unknown if anyone or anything of the human race survived. It is a search for answers – about both its becoming as well as its legacy.

We are absolutely gutted that the Worlds Collide Tour has been pushed back again and we cannot perform live in the same venue as our fans. With this digital show we hope that the fans can still feel our energy, our love for – and above all: our passion for music. Take care and we hope to see you on July 8th or July 9th.”
