NIGHTMARE cancel select dates on European tour due to production conflicts

Visual kei veterans NIGHTMARE have announced the cancellation of four dates from their long-awaited The WORLD European tour, citing “unavoidable production conflicts”. The affected performances include Munich (January 28th), Budapest (January 30th), Warsaw (January 31st), and Madrid (February 2nd).

The decision was confirmed via a statement from Envol Production, the agency managing the tour, which assured fans that the remaining shows would proceed as planned.

The revised schedule maintains five stops: Helsinki (January 18th), London (January 19th), Paris (January 21st), Cologne (January 23rd), and Hamburg (January 25th).

This tour marks NIGHTMARE’s European debut and coincides with the band’s 25th anniversary. Known for their musical contributions to anime like DEATH NOTE and Claymore, NIGHTMARE have built a loyal international following over more than two decades. The tour takes its name from the band’s iconic DEATH NOTE opening, ‘the WORLD’.

The tour is also an opportunity for European fans to witness the band’s live performances before NIGHTMARE embark on an extensive 50-date tour across Japan, starting in March.
