According to a posting at the band's official web site, "The show will be a spectacle. NIGHTWISH will spend more money than never before for the lights and pyros. There will be also playing another great Finnish band which has made its way to the top of the Finnish music with original sound and music. The name of the band will be released on the middle of February. There will be plenty of foreign and Finnish media on the event so 'Be there or miss it!!!' "
