Delain played a great set. This is the "new" reconstituted Delain, so all or most of the personnel are new aside from the keyboard player, who is the band leader. Diana sounds very much like Charlotte, so I'm assuming that's part of why she got the job. They played a lot of old material, i.e. from the original Delain, which surprised me a little bit, but I guess that makes sense since the band, in one form or another, has been around for more than a decade. The Forge is a tiny venue, but that does make it more "intimate" than a larger venue. If the house capacity was even 500 people, I'd be surprised. It's probably more like 300 I would guess.

Both Delain and Xandria put on a great show. My only quibble is that it was hard to tell when doors opened vs. when the show started from the ads. A bit more info (including info on the opening band/bands) always helps.

Third time seeing Delain and they never disappoint. They genuinely seem to be having fun on stage and that vibe is felt throughout the venue. Great 17 song set list. This was their first show on a month-long tour of the U.S. and I would gladly see them again. Seeing Delain in such a small venue was a wonderful experience but it makes me wonder how often they will be returning to the states given the financial cost/reward of playing such shows as this. A happy and fun show without any pyro or crazy lighting effects. Just pure talent in an up-close environment. I don't know what else to say

It was a great show! I mean that's what they always say, but whenever the hole venue is singing along and jumping, it sure is awesome. But this concert Nijmegen wasn't the best Delain concert I've been to. Ok, maybe it was cause they played a few older songs and I only discovered the band somewhat recently. But I think that the atmosphere in Bochum at... I guess Matrix last year was just absolutely insane. Therefor in comparison only 4,5 Stars this time, otherwise 5/5

Best gig of the year. Briliiant interaction with the crowd. Sincere & warm. They make everyone feel a part of the whole thing. Diana appears to have settled in well now. She looked a little apologetic on the last tour - as though she was uncomfortable in the shoes she was filling. NOW, she looks a genuine part & her rendition of older Charlotte songs is perfect. Ronald & Ludo’s connection with fans is second to none. The set choice was just superb. Timing of new with old very thoughtful. Loved it. Support act Damian Wilson was good too. A contrast but a pure gent. He actually came outside before the gig & spoke to everyone in the queue, in the rain! It was great when he joined Delain for the encore. Andy M

Delain is such an underrated band in the symphonic metal scene and I’ve never understood why. They have an amazing discography and versatile sound, plus Charlotte’s unique vocals gave them something different within the sea of ‘symphonic metal bands that all sound alike’. I’ve seen them every time they’ve come to Denver since 2013 and I will continue to see them live. Delain always puts on an amazing show!!

Almost perfect show. The band quickly picked up the performance in a short time after the relaunch of Delain. It think it helped a lot that there 2 veterans who rejoined the band. Special notice of Diana who did a tremendous job in perfecting her stage performance. At their first show in 013 Tilburg, Diana was a little overwhelmed with performing a live show and just gave to much energie and vocally the first few songs. She paid the price after a short while of performing. Not this show!!! She stood fast and kept performing awesome during the whole set.

This was a great show! It's always fun to see Delain, but this was the first time with Diana as their new singer. This was also the first time I've seen Visions of Atlanta, and I'm so glad I did. Both bands had so much energy, and really got the crowd into their performances. This was a much needed escape from reality.

This was a great show! An intimate venue with no bad spots. It was a blast! Both Visions of Atlantis and Delain put on great shoes. I like that they used a local band to open for them as well. Great time!

Xandria hätte gerne ein bisschen lauter sein dürfen (stand erste Reihe, aber war dennoch n bissl leise 🙈). Alles in allem ein mega grandioses Konzert 🤘 der Ersatz Drummer hat seinen Job bei Xandria sehr gut gemacht und auch die Sängerinnen der beiden Bands, allen voran Diana von Delain waren phantastisch im Gesang und Performance ❤️

Venue was way too small for a band with their following. It was GREAT to have this band back. There was a risk they’d gone for good. BUT Diana Leah was a joy. Loved her personality - almost apologetic (in case fans felt she was an interloper). She was attractively self-effacing - making her very appealing. Her voice is great. & she fits in well. The whole atmosphere of the band was tight. Brave choices for the set ie old Charlotte songs were in there & sounded just as good. New songs from the latest album have THE style & are already classics. Loved the way, at the end, they said “we’re not doing an encore, we’re meeting you in the merch area”. They care about fans. & Paolo was fun too.

Dynamic show, I’am shure you new that, I’m 67 years old and wished I could have a band or show as powerful as yours . I hope to see and hear more from you in the future!!

First time I have ever seen delain in concert and they were absolutely fabulous! Extra points for drummer Joey getting in to Vancouver for the end of the concert nice and safe and sound! Absolutely wonderful band I will definitely come and see you again!

I've seen Delaine many times and they were exceptional last night. It is a lovely venue, close to the centre of Haalem and a short walk from the railway station. The crowd were very supportive and at times Charlotte was reduced to tears she was so overwhelmed.
