Quote :: UPDATE SHARON #2 + VNV NATION’S, SINÉAD PREVIEW

The First Challenge will not only be unique Within Temptation concert, it will be a Within Temptation happening.

Sharon’s personal challenge is to get in shape again. Here’s another personal update from Sharon on her fitness program. You also hear an exclusive preview of the VNV Nation remix from Sinéad!

As we know that many of our fans will come from far, we would like to thank you all with a rich and entertaining program. As a little appetizer, it will involve the Unforgiving race car, a party and many other things we still have to decide on. We are working hard to make this a once in a lifetime show for you and ourselves – so make sure to book your tickets sooner, rather than later, the location is not that big….

For our fans from abroad: The “First Challenge” will be held in Ulft (NL), a city with 10,000 inhabitants, only 5 minutes from the border to Germany within easy reach to several international airports if you come from far. The main airports are: Amsterdam (NL) Brussels (B), Düsseldorf (D), Cologne (D), however many low cost carriers fly to Weeze airport in Germany just 60 km from Ulft, click here for more information.

There’s a festival camping you can book, you can also click here to find out more about local hotels and transport options!

Quote :: AUGUST 3, 2011

It’s back to the fitness room for Sharon!

Check out the latest WT TV Report, where Sharon updates you on what she’s doing to get back in shape for our first big show on August 12th!

Quote :: AUGUST 5, 2011

On August 10th we will play our first festival show since a long time and if this is not enough, it will be at one of the biggest and best festivals in Europe.

Sziget Festival is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe. The festival is held annually in August in Budapest, Hungary and takes place on Óbudai-sziget (“Old-Buda Island”).

In 2011, Sziget was ranked one of the 5 best festivals in Europe by The Independent, and one of the 10 best by the European Festival Awards.

Only 2 days later on Friday, August 12th “The First Challenge” is WT’s very special festival performance at home in the Netherlands, but right next to the border of Germany in Ulft. The First Challenge will not only be a unique WT concert, it will be a WT happening. We will play the whole concept album “The Unforgiving” in one go and in the follow order of the CD plus all your favorite Within Temptation hits in a grand finale. The visual presentation will feature brand new images on big screens, a sneak preview is alread on our site. There will be an after show party with a VNV DJ-Set (as our next performance at Me’ra Luna festival is not a long drive from Ulft, so we will have some time to enjoy the after show party – definately looking forward to that!)., the Unforgiving Race car is on the site etc, etc. Tickets for “The First Challenge” are still available and can be purchased here for the Dutch fans and here for the German fans.

On the next day, Saturday August 13th we are looking forward to return to the best festival in Germany “Me’ra Luna” in Hildesheim as a headliner. Me’ra Luna has been voted the best festival in 2011 on the German Live Music Award (LEA). That’s well deserved, it’s also our favorite one in Germany with great memories of our first steps on a big festival in our neighbour country.

Off the stage at Me’ra Luna we will then drive over night to Switzerland to perform at Heitere Open Air in Zöfingen on Sunday 14.08. Heitere Open Air has been a summer festival highlight in the country since the 90ies.

We also can’t wait to see the fans in Belgium and at home in the Netherlands at the legendary Pukkelpop Festival on the 19th and Lowlands festival on the 20th of August. Both events are already sold out for a long time.

Stoppelhaene Festival (25.08) and Bavaria Open Air (27.08) are 2 more great Festivals before we depart to Transylvania for the Félsziget Fesztivál on 28.08., which is one of the largest summer festivals in Romania.

Needless to say – but we are extremely excited to see all of you out there at one of these festivals and send our best regards from the rehersal room.

See you soon…..

Within Temptation

Whoa! il y a beaucoups de news. Mais ils ont annulés leurs prestation dans le festival où il y à eu la tempête nan ? j'avais cru entendre qu'ils devaient y jouer.

En effet, Le pukkelpop a été annulé et ils ont joué une chanson a Lowland le lendemain pour les Victimes: Mother earth!

Ils ont aussi adressé un message au victime sur leur site web et fait une video (faut que je la retrouve)

Quote :: Hello 2 all of you,

Yesterday while we were preparing for our concert at Pukkelpop we heard a terrible tragedy happened at the festival-site.

Due to heavy weather conditions five people died and even more got injured.
Our hearts go out to all the families and friends of these victims. We hope that those who have travelled down to Pukkelpop will soon safely get back to wherever they need to go.

Hope to see you again in better times and the best to all of you !

Sharon, Robert, Martijn, Ruud, Jeroen and Mike.

Quote :: This weekend Within Temptation played at the Lowlands Festival in The Netherlands.

Starting of with an acoustic session for “3Onstage” which you can watch on this website!

For the Dutch fans Sharon also gave an interview for Faceculture:

But the most important part of course was the big show in the Alpa tent. A Dutch review for the show can be found here.

Sharon will be looking back on “Lowlands” on the 3rd of September during a Dutch TV program. Terug naar Lowlands

Right after the big show on the mainstage Sharon, Robert and Ruud gave another acoustic performance for radio 3 fm:

And a day like that can only end with a party right? What Sharon did after the show can be read on Twitter . Something with a “Titty Twister”…

Quote :: RACE DAY WITH ROBERT

During our First Challenge, we were suppose to bring the Within Temptation race car with us.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances (severe bad weather earlier that day) we were not able to get the Beast down there.

For those who visited Huntenpop/The First Challenge, we want to provide another chance to see the car in real life.

Therefore we are arranging a (Huntenpop only) race day at Zandvoort, where fans can be driven around by Robert in the Beast.

Once again, this is an event for visitors of Huntenpop only.

Let us know with how many people you are attending the event, by sending an email to withintemptation@atproductions.com.

Make sure that you include your ticketconfirmation email from Huntenpop with this email.

The race day will take place on the 19th of September at racing track Zandvoort.

You will receive an email with more information after you have contacted us.

Retailers can pre-order at Diamond. But of course, our loyal web site visitors can order part 1, 2 and 3 already in our webshop.

The Unforgiving comics will also be available through Diamond Digital. With this digital copy, you will also receive an exclusive video from Sharon.

Il me semble qu'une mauvaise nouvelle vient de tomber ... pale

Malheureusement oui! Je vous poste l annonce officielle une fois chez moi. Robert quitte le groupe pour les live. Il continuerais d écrire les chansons et de produire le groupe mais ne se produirait plus que lors de quelques live spéciaux pour offrir une nouvelle stabilité a ses trois enfants. son remplaçant Stefan quelque chose ( son. Nom des que je suis chez moi) est depuis longtemps en relation avec le groupe!

Quote :: ROBERT TO FOCUS ON PRODUCTION AND SONGWRITING

As you know in recent years we were blessed with the birth of three children. Since then not only our kids but also Within Temptation has been growing fast and we are touring in more countries than ever before.

To be able to fulfill the needs of our children but just as much the needs of the band for now and also in the future, we decided Robert will step down from touring live, (except for the occasional show). With this change we can give stability to our children and from the home studio Robert will have more time writing new music and developing new creative ideas for the live show, the comic and future movies.
What makes the decision easier is the fact that Stefan Helleblad is willing to take Robert’s place in the band on stage. Stefan has been working with the band behind the scenes for some years. As a sound engineer he was involved in the production of our latest three records. Next to being a great sound engineer, mixing engineer and producer he is also a very gifted guitar player. On our latest album ‘The Unforgiving’ you can already hear him play some special guitar parts. His first show will be on the 21st in Heerhugowaard.
So this is not a goodbye but a new step, or actually two steps in a very exciting new and inspiring time for our band.
We hope you keep joining and enjoying this adventure together with us and our paths will keep crossing each other.
‘till soon !!!
Sharon and Robert
