Comments/review
Review by Staphanie (Elvenbeauty):
Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia-Ghostlights tour came to the U.S. this year for the first time ever in Avantasia History, bringing incredible talented artists together such as Michael Kiske, Jorn Lande, Eric Martin, Ronnie Atkins, Amanda Somerville, Herbie Langhans, and more… Being one of the first in line to enter the Playstation Theater in NYC was exciting enough, but my first Avantasia experience was mind-blowing. The energy of the crowd was explosive on the opening with “Mystery of a Blood Red Rose”, and got even louder when Michael Kiske came onstage during “Ghostlights”. There were several times when Tobi was speaking, the crowd would interupt him by chanting “Avantasia” and clapping, and Tobi would have this look of amazement on his face. Tobi stated a few times during the show that he was suprised by the audience in New York and at one point, he said that if they do another Avantasia album in the future, they would definately come back to New York. As the night went on, the audience continued to cheer with enthusiasm during songs from the new album Ghostlights, like “Lucifer” with Jorn Lande, and “Draconian Love” featuring Herbie Langhan. There was also the nostalgic songs from The Metal Opera albums such as, “Farewell”,”Reach Out for the Light” and “Avantasia”. Around 11 pm, Tobi said it was past curfew and they would get fined, but that they were gonna play the entire 3 and a half hour set anyway! And they ended the show with a fantastic encore, playing “Lost In Space” and “Sign of the Cross/The Seven Angels”. This was by far the best concert that I’ve ever seen and will certainly see again if they come back!

Michael Kiske sings on: ‘Ghostlights’ (with Tobias Sammet and Jorn Lande) and ‘Unchain The Light’ (with Tobias Sammet and Ronnie Atkins)
In March an all-star ensemble will set off on the GHOSTLIGHTS WORLD TOUR.
Published September 14, 2015 | 
MICHAEL will not only appear on the album, he will also join AVANTASIA on the GHOSTLIGHTS WORLD TOUR 2016 (check upcoming-concerts for tourdates)
Tobias comments: “I have been friends with Micha for more than 15 years now. We recently joked when he asked me why he always gets to sing those high range Speed Metal anthems. My answer was quite simple: ‘Because I can hardly think of anyone who could possibly do that any better!’ The first time I heard Micha on one of my songs was 1999. I was blown away by what he did to stuff like ‘Reach Out For The Light’ or ‘The Seven Angels’. You can convince yourself when we kick off the world tour in March, Micha will join AVANTASIA once again to do the old classics, but also some of the new material which sounds really fantastic; as Avantasia-esque as it gets. I am really suprised we found another time frame to do this tour together, I don’t take it for granted as this may be the last tour in a long time. It’s so difficult to align all those schedules, you can’t imagine. We managed to find a time frame in spring 2016, and we wanna enjoy it to the fullest: I can promise you that we will play more than three hours every night! Old stuff, new stuff, everything! Be there! It may be your only chance to see this particular line up we’re putting together, for sure it will be the last Avantasia tour in quite some time at least.”
