Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour is the sixth world tour by symphonic metal band Nightwish, to promote their eighth studio album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful.
The tour began in New York City, USA on the 9th of April to begin a 27-show leg during April and May, and then a European leg between November and December, with numerous festivals in between. Due to previous comments made by both Tuomas Holopainen and Marco Hietala, it is expected that an Oceanic leg will also be announced in the future.
