“We’ve got a new live album which we shot in Argentina at the end of the last tour. There was 300,000 people there, and it was just wonderful. We had about 12 cameras there and a great sound crew, and we just enjoyed the heck out of it. “The live album comes out, with the video of those concerts, in about six weeks or something. So I’m looking forward to that.”

WITHIN TEMPTATION have just released the following newsletter containing information on new tour dates and an acoustic performance...
Hi everybody,
WITHIN TEMPTATION @ DUTCH RADIO 3FM
Last Monday we played at Holland's Radio 3FM. It was the first time we played Faster and Where Is The Edge acoustic, for those of you who haven't heard or seen it yet, you can check it out here. This radio station is also asking listeners to vote for the official 3FM Awards. Of course you can help us to get nominated in several categories. How? Please click on this link, fill in the voting form as shown on the pictures and submit your vote! It's also possible for fans outside The Netherlands to vote!
TOURING
Festivals in Holland!
As you know we are not able to do a lot of festivals due to Sharon's pregnancy. Therefore, if you want to see us perform this summer, you have 2 options to buy tickets for. First of all Bavaria Open Air, which will take place on August 27th. Another festival we are really looking forward to is Huntenpop, which will take place on August 12th, tickets are on sale now! We will be headlining that day (meaning we'll play longer), you can buy tickets only for that day as well, so if you only want to come and see us play, you can! It will be the first Dutch festival we will be doing in 3(!) years, so it sure is going to be a very special performance. We hope to see you all there!
WITHIN TEMPTATION GOES USA!
Before the European tour starts mid September, we will travel to the USA for a performance at New York's Terminal 5 at Saturday September 10th. The official ticket sales for this event will start Friday, February 18th, but with this special link and code: UNFORGIVING you can buy your tickets NOW!

Have you bought your digital copy of "Faster" yet? "Faster" is available on iTunes in the following territories (click on your country to buy the track): Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, UK, USA.
We're sure we're missing a few countries here, let us know if yours isn't listed here!
MERCHANDISE
We will be opening our brand new merchandise store in the coming weeks, so make sure to check out our website often!
IS FASTER 'YOUR NEWS'?
Check out the Your News-section on our website, where you can post news yourself! Have you heard Faster on your local radio station or did you see it on TV? Let us know by placing it on Your News! More to come...
