Commented Strid: "We are nothing short of super excited to announce the recording of our first Live DVD ever. This very special and unique evening will go down in beautiful Helsinki, Finland, where SOILWORK have always had very loyal fans and shared some great success through the years. The show will take place at The Circus on the 21st of March. It's been a long time coming, considering we released our first album in 1998, but here it is! We can't wait to share this special moment with you, our fans! The show will bring you songs from each and every album of our career. We also have some very special guests invited for the show as well, that we can't wait to announce. In addition to this, we will randomly draw 25 people out of the 500 first people to enter the venue, that will join the band and the crew for an after show party! Make sure you don't miss out on this... See you on the 21st of March in Helsinki, at The Circus - It's a date!"

The show will be recorded for a future DVD release and thus be a special night in the history of the pioneering band. The repertoire is set to be career spanning, special guest appearances to be made as well as some not to be unveiled surprises to come up.


The choice where to record the first ever SOILWORK audiovisual live document was an easy one since Helsinki has always been a second home to the band. The venue itself, Circus, was just the right one to offer a full on SOILWORK show. Expect great things to happen.
The show will mark SOILWORK's only Scandinavian show in spring 2014 and will be produced by Jouni Markkanen and directed by Ville Lipiäinen who also shot the most recent NIGHTWISH DVD release "Showtime, Storytime".



Tickets for this special show are on sale.
