NIGHTWISH: Florida, California Dates Moved Off DISNEY Property, live footage from Hamburg, Germany

NIGHTWISH's previously announced November 15, 2007 concert in Florida has been moved from House of Blues in Lake Buena Vista to Club Firestone in Orlando. Similarly, NIGHTWISH's November 6 concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California will now be taking place at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and EnterTheVault.com.

In other news, there have been 25 more VIP tickets (first/priority entry into venue and an autographed poster) released for NIGHTWISH's October 20 show in Worcester, Massachusetts at the Palladium.

As previously reported, BLABBERMOUTH.NET has learned that NIGHTWISH is planning at least one more trip to the U.S. in support of its latest CD, "Dark Passion Play", with May 2008 being the time period that is being looked at. So far, only one date has been announced: House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 24, 2008.

Fan-filmed video footage of NIGHTWISH's concert last night (Friday, September 28) at Delphi Showpalast in Hamburg, Germany can be viewed below. The band took the stage under the guise of a NIGHTWISH cover act from Japan called SUSHI PATROL and played a similar set to the one performed in Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland earlier in the week. Check out pictures from the Tallinn and Helsinki gigs:

NIGHTWISH will make its "official" live debut with new singer Anette Olzon on October 6 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The group's U.S. tour kicks off on October 15 in West Springfield, Virginia.

According to a posting on NIGHTWISH's web site, "Dark Passion Play" has already sold more than 42,000 copies in Finland after being released on Wednesday (September 26), which is more than enough for it to be certified platinum (signifying sales in excess of 30,000 copies).
