Nightwish have released a live clip of their performance of Stargazers – filmed in Tampere, Finland.

It’s taken from the band’s upcoming package Vehicle Of Spirit which will launch on December 16 in Europe, with a North American release to follow in January.

The DVD release features two live Nightwish performances filmed in Tampere and at their sold out show at London’s Wembley Arena earlier this year.

Nightwish recently announced they would be taking a break throughout 2017 – but this week, singer Floor Jansen promised fans that they’d return with “something special” the following year.

She said: “We’ll be back in 2018. We haven’t said anything about a record or what we’re going to do. We have been keeping it a secret on purpose, because it’s something special – something that I really think Nightwish fans will really like.

“But for now, we’re taking a break from the whole thing – not because it wasn’t good, but maybe because it was good. It’s good to reflect on life and take a step back and sit and relax and do something else. And we’ll be back with a vengeance in 2018.”

While nothing will be heard from the Nightwish camp throughout 2017, Jansen will appear onstage with Ayreon for two shows in the Netherlands next year.
