Within Temptation concert chronology

The Resist Tour is an ongoing concert tour by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, in support of their seventh album Resist which will be released on December 14, 2018.[1][2][3][4]

Background

At the end of 2017, without any news of a sooner studio release, the band announced that they would be embarking on a new tour on the second half of the following year, with a possible new studio album in sight.[1] Even before the arrival of the new year, a few concerts were already sold out.[5] The tour had been labelled "MMXVIII" at that time, as a reference to the year of 2018 and, only after the announcement of their seventh album Resist, the name was changed to "The Resist Tour" in support of the album.[6] Initially, only club and arena dates throughout Europe were added to the tour, before the band started scheduling dates for some 2019 summer festivals.[7] Although the album just being relesead after the start of the tour, lead vocalist Sharon den Adel stated in an interview that some then-unreleased songs will be played by the band, so people can already have a first contact with the record on a live form.[8]
