HIM Announce 'No Sleep Till Halloween' Tour With Papa Roach, Lostprophets, and More...
Band Also Reveals Plans for Upcoming DVD/CD
NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 03, 2006 -- Finnish quintet HIM announce their fall 2006 tour in support of their highly acclaimed Sire Records release, "Dark Light." The first leg of the No Sleep Till Halloween tour kicks off October 18 in Lowell, Massachusetts, with Papa Roach, Lostprophets, Kill Hannah, and ends on Halloween in Los Angeles, California (see dates below).
On this upcoming tour, the band will reach half a million copies of 2005's "Dark Light," making HIM the first Finnish band to go gold in the U.S. The album debuted in the Top 20 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart and has so far spawned two major hits, "Wings of a Butterfly" and "Killing Loneliness." The album's success has earned the band spots on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Last Call With Carson Daly." The single, "Wings of a Butterfly," went Top 20 on Active Rock and Alternative radio, and the video was in heavy rotation on FUSE and became an Elite 8 on MTV2.
Hot on the heels of the tour will be a special DVD/CD release due out in November. The DVD/CD will follow the band through haunted castles in Scotland and feature never before seen live concert footage and rare on-camera interviews.
Pre-sale tickets for the New York shows go on sale tomorrow morning, Friday, August 4th; the rest of the shows go on sale next weekend. All tickets will be available on KROQ (www.kroq.com) and Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com).

I am gonna go to the Chicago and Iowa.
:)
-
I don't forget anything.
lol
-
oo DVD and CD ;D
-
And the UK tour dates are where?
-
Ville: UK? *scratches head*
::)
-
HAH! HALLOWEEEEEEN!!!!! im sooooooo going! *dances a jig* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
-
Damn it! I wish there were more dates plus closer ones to where Im at. I Can't miss any classes this time around. DAMN IT!
Oh well, atleast I was one the first to know about the tour in general (yay good old Tom Furey!)
-
I might go to the two NYC dates.
-
I'm not paying 40 bucks to go see 3 bands I hate. I don't think HIM will be playing for more than 45 mins TOPS either way. The Hammerstein always ends its shows around 11.
-
i like three bands i just dont know kill hanna sucks they dont have any texas shows :( . would like to go to the halloween one if anyone would like to make any donations i would apreciate it very much hehe :p. anyways the dvd part i can enjoy everywhere hehe
-
They might be playing a full set. When I saw Taking Back Sunday at SJSU event center in San Jose there were 4 bands.
Subways - 6 songs
Head Automatica - 7 songs
Angels & Airwaves - about 12 songs
Taking Back Sunday - about 17 songs
-
Now let me ask you a (probably stupid) question, is HIM headlining? Or is it Papa Roach since they are more famous?
-
whos going to the cali shows besides me and carrie? 8)
-
Ah! Betsy! I'm driving 1111 miles to the Gibson Amplitheatre with my Brother. I will definitely meet up with you there!
-
Now let me ask you a (probably stupid) question, is HIM headlining? Or is it Papa Roach since they are more famous?
HIM is headlining
-
I'll be at the San Jose show. Gonna try to record it from the upper level seats on the side of the stage. Security wont bother me up there.
-
That's right. HIM is headlining.
Ville has said before that besides festivals, they won't do any supporting gigs. He said he'd rather play in front of 50 HIM fans then play for a lot more people who are there to see somebody else.
I assume the lineup will be just as it's listed. Kill Hannah, then Lostprophets, then Papa Roach, then HIM.
See everyone in Chicago. My first trip to the windy city.
-
Ah! Betsy! I'm driving 1111 miles to the Gibson Amplitheatre with my Brother. I will definitely meet up with you there!
yay!!! anyone dressing up for the halloween gig?
-
Maybe Ville might dress like the Crow again. :-P Looks so damn good on him... or if all else fails, the Jack mask.
-
I think I might be going to the Des Moines gig as well. It's only 4 or 5 hours from Chicago. Since I'll be in Chicago (6/7 Hrs away) I might as well drive another 4 and catch the next show, the next night. Why not!
-
I ordered tickets for both nights at the Hammerstein. Damn, though, I swear tickets were $20 last time - now they're $40, in the same venue!. :o Does that mean they'll play longer :P
It'll be brilliant to see Kill Hannah and HIM on the same stage again!
-
I am going to the friday show.
-
If everything goes well, I'll hit up the Chicago show. Fuck yeah. 8)
-
If my memory is right, every tour the ticket prices have gone up $5. Last tour, with Aiden, it was 35. Before that, Skindred/Finch, it was 30. Monster Magnet/Auf Der Maur was 25... or maybe even 20.
-
and when they went on tour with kill hannah and eighteen visions it was $15, for sure i will be at the Halloween gig Yes!!! cant wait :)
-
Might run into you shane....
im going to both.
-
Unless they do any Ohio dates, I'm skipping this tour as well. Not only do the opening bands not interest me, I know that the band will play the same fucking songs again.
However the CD/DVD package will be a nice buy.

Hi fellow HIM fans! I am new to this forum & a relatively new fan of the band's! HIM are fantastic! Anyway, I live near Toronto in Canada & am thinking about attending the TO gig. Has anyone been to the Ricoh Coliseum? Also I am not too familiar with the other bands that are playing. This will be the first time I've seen HIM as I missed the show in Toronto last time as it was sold out. Do you still think it's worth going? I would basically be going only to see HIM play. Thanks for your replies in advance.

I guess it depends how many songs play. If they play a full setlist, then it would be worth going. But if they can only play half a set because of all the other bands then you might wanna wait
-
Has anyone see this
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/oxh1mxo/event_40756.jpg)
-
Thanks for your reply Robert. I think I will try to get the tickets tomorrow anyway cos if I don' t I think I might regret it. Hopefully someone who attends the gigs before the Toronto one can let us know how the set is.
-
I just got my tickets for The Halloween show, I got row BB i guess that is row 2 seat 2 idk, but its in the orchastra section 5, i tried hard for the pit tickets but couldnt get my hands on them :( maybe ill swap with a parent in the pit area :)
-
im in 5 and then i got another in 6...wanna trade so i can have two 5's? maybe? i'll make it worth your while.... :o
-
This is odd.
My oldest brother is going to the HIM show.
(He isnt even a Fan, I guess his friend likes the band thats why he is going with her?).
His best friends fiancee works there so he got apparently VIP and Pit tickets.
That was cool of her to do that for them.

This is the shittiest tour line up ever.
-
This is the shittiest tour line up ever.
thats why i decided not to go to this tour
-
I just got mine for NYC, both shows... spent over 200 for 4 tix
-
This is the shittiest tour line up ever.
papa roach is definitely bottom of the barrel, but who goes for the opening acts anyway? I showed up late last show trying to avoid aiden and I ended up missing the first few songs HIM played.
-
Fro... its true baby! :-D
I am gonna bootleg the fuck out of that show.
it's not on the site anymore.......:(
-
two of those extra dates are still on the official Kill Hannah website though, so keep your fingers crossed
-
im going to ny and nj..for anyone who has met them, how long is the wait after a shoe to meet them? any info will be greatly appreciated! thanks
-
i hope i get to meet the band on this tour. that would make it that much better of an expierience for me.
-
I hope they add dates cuz i was gonna go to the NJ show cuz it was on a saturday but my fucking homecoming is on the same exact day. I allready asked my gf to go so i'm fucked. I really hope they add something closer. But i could try to go on a weekday.

Believe me i thought about it but, lol. Could u imagine how upset she would be thoough.
-
the bands on this tour in exception for him really suck in my opinion. i guess the band likes being completely different from the other bands they play with so they are noticed more or something.
-
lol HIM are natural born Headliners so they book crappy bands interesting theory i really do hope they add dates because i wanna see them in Columbus Oh. again
-
Ever thought they actually like their support bands? Just because we/you don't like em, it doesn't mean the band doesn't like em.
-
they might like them and thats fine. i don't think they care who plays before them. i was just stating my opinion thats all. they should le the fans pick who plays with them on the next tour after all we are the ones buying the tickets lol.
-
ha do you guys think that they will do anything different to the setlist (other than add dark light)... or go with the usual one
-
probably not although dark light live would be a treat.
-
I'm workin on goin to that fairfax show that was just added. It's actually only about 4 hrs from my house. It's on veterens day but i'm not off, but it is a frday night so it's very possible.
-

maybe they do maybe they don't, i remember seeing HIM at the Avalon in hollywood, and they had like alittle side balcony on the stage for the band, and they came out during Captured by Robots, who were supporting them in Febuary 2005, the dates that they had to rescedule due to Ville Being sick
-

I wouldn't work too hard, i'm 99.9% its going to be officially cancelled in the next few days, along with most of the other after halloween dates
-
Some HIM shows have been cancelled.
Kansas City was one of them. :-\
I am having a feeling they will put it back up.
-
I just emailed The Rave asking if HIM was still playing, and the answer is that the record company canceled the last 10 dates of the tour, because they want HIM to focus and write a new album..... its a bittersweet thing, i wanted to see them, but im glad they will be getting into the studio
personally i think its a couple months too early to focus on new material, and the record company is pushing them, which is not a good thing at all
-
they gave you an answer, which is more than most would do; but, you know i'm going to say, it's preposterous that the label is saying that is the reason those dates are cancelled.
-
You mean a record company could have the audacity to tell thioer artists what to do? I can't see them doing that unless the rpomised them an album in a certain timeframe. Weird! I'm seeing them twice in New York and once in Chicago. I'm not crazy about seeing any of the opening bands. I tried and Kill Hannah does nothing for me except give me new makeup ideas to shop at Sephora. Why not tour with the Rasmus and the 69 Eyes or other Finnish bands and give us something different? Oh well maybe in 10 years they'll all get together and do some anniversary tour if they are all still alive. Actually I've talked to a lot of people who siad they'd love to see HIM but don't want to see the others. Isn't it time HIM just had one opening band?
-
HIM normally have only 1 opening band.
Putting these 3 bands together is really strange. Most people only like one out of three, surely it would be more logical for each band to tour individually.
-
Thought I might help to clarify thinigs a bit for some of you. Most of you are forgetting that it is the music 'BUSINESS' and yes if they have signed a major deal the company have loaned them a large sum of money which they want back with interest. Yes they will have agreed to release a set amount of albums/singles in a given time frame and the reason that they are touring with these others bands is precisely because their fans will not be HIM fans so it is a marketing angle to try and increase their fan base. Sire records are not doing this for love and perhaps neither are the band. I was unimpressed with the reshooting of what I thought was a perfectly good video for 'killing loneliness' and am amazed that the band agreed seeing as they have to pay for it. It is looking to me like their artistic i ntegrity is flying out of the window as money comes in the door. :(
-
HIM is a hard band to find opening acts for, anyway. There aren't a lot of bands that sound like HIM or appeal to the same fans. Rock bands with darker elements are what they find, and that includes Lost Prophets and Papa Roach. Papa Roach is a big name, too... even if their prime was 6 years ago.
These bands are a lot closer to HIM than Skindred and Finch were.

im guessing ville found out you were sniffing his underwear last time you did his laundry?
-
all of the dates past halloween have been cancelled!!!! sucks for you but good for me....that means, PARTY WITH HIM ON HALLOWEEEEEEENIE! WOOOOOOOOO! ;D
-
I don't buy that explanation. There has to be something else going on. Nobody cancels a their biggest tour yet to record new material. Especially not a few weeks before it kicks off. Something else has to be up.
-
Ville's voice has been "suffering" over the last few months/ gigs, so I'm thinking maybe they had to cancel for a much needed break... Might be starting to ctach up with him, all of the non-stop touring.. as well as non-stop smoking/drinking...
Dunno, just my opinion though.. From a recent interview (video) I do know that he has been working on new material and mentioned a release for October '07. So, maybe it's partly true...
Hope they are all ok nontheless!
Cheers!
Josh
-
I somehow had a feeling this would happen, which is why I hadn't bought a ticket yet. It sucks, but oh well. :(
-
AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHH! SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!! i am in absolute shock. this does not make a very happy betsy... :'(
-
that sucks for the people that were going to go but its cool that they are going to start working on the new stuff :) and yes another band that dropped their fall tour to work on their new album is avenged sevenfold so i personally dont believe that there are deep problems within the band, or they are just taking a break they have been touring since last year so that would make sense too.
-
well hopefully this "new album" will be more promising than DL...i want to hear something harder, more RR... :-\
-
well hopefully this "new album" will be more promising than DL...i want to hear something harder, more RR... :-\
This to me was the worst albums they could put out.
Maybe because I am too used to heavy sounds.
But I dont see them going back to their "roots".
They want money, what else is there to say.
I just got a phone call myself hearing these News about the Shows. I am surprised that they hacked all of the tour and not part of it.
-
I am one that is missing out too on this gig.
But, I can understand them wanting/needing a break.
They could use it.
-
I don't buy that explanation. There has to be something else going on. Nobody cancels a their biggest tour yet to record new material. Especially not a few weeks before it kicks off. Something else has to be up.
do you think maybe its because they didnt sell out enough venues? theyre playing these huge venues, ya know...it makes you wonder. ???
-
Are all the dates scheduled cancelled or are just the ones mentioned?
-

they won't be taking a break, they will be in the studio.
-
Strange they cancel a tour, they knew there was a tour planned. Why not postpone the CD? Strange that they already cancel an october tour for a new album in october next year.
I know touring is hard, but it is not even a two week tour and after that the US november tour starts.
I don't know a thing about it, but is it possible that the recordcompany is saying that the demo must be finished before the end of october?
At least the explanation is strange
To start a stupid rumour, maybe a Halloween wedding :P
-
is the dates in november gonna be cancelled
-
Expect all of the tour to be scrapped. I have an e-mail saying that all the November dates have been scrapped as well, but I'm not home right now.
The true reason they cancelled: They realized there were no Texas dates, and they needed to find time to fit them in. :)
Anyway, not to start any conspiracy theories or anything...but haven't you noticed that when HIM is poised to break through in the US, something like this always happens.
Take the 2004 tour, when Ville was piss drunk in NY and performed the shittiest gig ever. http://media.thesacrament.net/pic.shtml?image=nyrev.jpg (For you visual learners) That gig was said to be one of the most important for them at the time.
Something happened like that again in 2005, but that wasn't his fault, as he was drugged...or so the story goes.
There's a few other incidents that I can't rember off hand, but now that they were set with their biggest US tour yet, something happens. The reasons are unknown right now, but maybe it could be that Papa Roach (who have a new CD out or soon to be out) disagreed with being an opener to a realitvely unknown band.
Though Ville has always said he refuses to be an opener for anyone, unless they're doing festivals. He'd rather play for 30 people there to see them, than 3000 who are there for the next band.
In the end, I think it's more of a business issue, than a health issue. Unless Shane's girlfriend is FINALLY pregnant with Ville's unborn child. Hmm....
-
Maybe they have a US-phobia?
Or maybe they get pretty fucking tired of doing the same shit at a different place?
And I know they may end up recording a new album... but maybe they should do some serious thinking and disscussing of it before they hit the record button.
Or else, this album may turn pure shit. As we all know, Dark Light was good lyrically. But I just feel the record company/producer is not too good.
After all... U2... come on now...
They need to be back on GUN/Supersonic. I think so personally.
-
I think they cancelled the tour because Terrell Owens attempted suicide.
But now he says he didn't, so maybe it's back on.
-
This is bullshit!
I bought $400 plane tickets to go to the Halloween show. Got the tickets for the concert and now this.
Everyone needs to stop being stubborn asses and sticking up for HIM saying they need a break. They are my favorite band, but to lie and say they are recording material for a CD that's due out FALL OF 2007! That's bullshit, my only guess could be they want an early realease to come out. I thought in an interveiw, I don't really remember but I think ville said the record label wanted they to work on new material, for an album out later this year, and play older songs live.
Could they possibly be releasing a album or compliation towards then end of the year or start of Q1? I don't really know, I just can't believe this. I want to know the real reason why...
It could also be that maybe HIM split or something? I don't know it's just a guess. But I know for a god damn fact they didn't do this to take a break, they've had a break for awhile only doing shows here and there. I just want an explination...
EDIT:
Hey check this out...maybe some hope for the Halloween show?
http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/872970
It shows all other dates scheduled for the tour besides the Denver and Halloween show cancelled? Could it be possible they still do the Halloween show because it was the most anticipated, and probably biggest purchased show?

I understand where you are coming from, Iam not really sticking up for them though, but they barely even have enough time to breath.
Promotions probably are a bitch to cover.
But that sucks about the 400 dollar plane ticket man, can't you refund those?
-
I don't know not usually but I guess we can try. But just seeing that the 31st show wasn't cancelled gave me a little hope, but I guess only time will tell.
-
it will be canceled...ticketmaster told me to call back tomorrow for my refund. >:(

HELLO PEOPLE....THE TOUR WAS PULLED BECAUSE OF POOR TICKET SALES!!!! >:(

rehab, or pregnancy? for starters, doesn't anybody find it "suspect" the way jonna pals around with, and says she lived with, andy mccoy and angela? mccoy and angela are synonymous with heroin in scandinavia. not to mention, the neighbor seemed to bark up the same tree. birds of a feather do flock together, sometimes. secondly, if there's a pregnancy, "orchestrated or not," do you think she'd be safe to leave behind, considering one of the complaints that drove her to "rehab" last time, was ville on a tour. sure.
-
huh?
when did ville and jonna get back together? ???

After the last tour I presume. When Bam did his radio show from Helsinki with CKY around 7th August Ville came on and Bam asked him if he would be going out with them that evening he replied and I paraphrase ' I don't know what I am doing yet as it is my 3rd anniversry with my girl and we will be going out somewhere'
Later on in the show she came on the mike to say 'Hi' ::)
-
Expect the Halloween date to be scrapped as well, they wouldn't come to the US for just one or two shows.
We have to remember that there are other bands involved as well...maybe (again, just speculation) one of the other bands wasn't happy about the amount of tickets sold, or the cut they were going to get each night.
Being that HIM isn't one to charge their fans $60-100 for a ticket, the bands probably weren't making much at the gate, or at least not as much as they had hoped. Shit, for about $100, you can get about 3 HIM tickets.
Though, most bands make more from merch anyway. We all know how hot HIM gear is. More than likely though, it's a label decision. It's what it all comes down to anyway...the people that sign your checks, like it or not.

My friend sent Tom Furey (HIM's Tour Manager) an email seeing what truly is up. Hopefully Tom will check his email and let us know if it was just the poor ticket sales, if HIM really decided they wanted to go back into the studio, or HIM decided not to tour with three freaking openers (haha). I'll keep you guys up to date on if we find anything out unless someone else beats us to an official word from someone close to the band.
I am bummed out about this whole ordeal, but I mean if the studio story is the truth, its a good sign for the next album. I mean with DSBH they kind of went into the studio with ideas, but didn't go in all gunho, and that’s probably why the album was recorded several times and only produced at like what the third attempt, if memory serves. And then with Dark Light, I knew they had new songs written and stuff since like fall 2004, but they really didn't hit the studio that hard until 4 or 5 months before the album came out
-
I thought about e-mailing Tom, but it may be one of those hush-hush things that won't be our business. But yes, we all want an official word, but I think we already got it in the form of the heartagram announcement.
Though they may follow up with some "Rest assured no one is in rehab, pregnant, maimed, etc." posts.
-
Well my friend is actual friends with Tom, as in Tom know his family and such so its not as intrusive if I or any fan for that matter asked him being all like "Hey I'm that one crazy HIM fan from that show in New York, remember me? My name is joe. Yeh I thought you would! Anyhow why are the guys all like 'Eff this, lets go record an album'? I thought they were my bros yo! but get back to me. I think you have my number, I wrote it on the back of a recipt from taco bell. Catch you later man!"
-
In the end, I think it's more of a business issue, than a health issue. Unless Shane's girlfriend is FINALLY pregnant with Ville's unborn child. Hmm....
I think they cancelled the tour because Terrell Owens attempted suicide.
But now he says he didn't, so maybe it's back on.
I think Jay and Shane should take their comedy act on the road for the next tour ;D
You two would surely increase ticket sales!! :-*

Oh I know, I didn't mean that as a personal shot towards you or anything. I was making more of a general statement that maybe something personal happened to somebody in the band.
Edit: And Shane's girlfriend has been trying VERY hard to become pregnant with Ville's sperm. I even fooled her just the other day by wearing eye liner and a Deep Shadows jacket I bought from eBay the day before. (I hope Shane doesn't read this)
Shane, if the baby's Mexican...sorry. Nothing wrong with Jose VILLEreal [insert your last name]
-
Ah, gotcha, sorry....
-
I can't believe they cancelled this tour! First a shitty work week & now this! WTF??? >:( .I was soo looking forward to this as it was the first time I was able to see the band perform. Talk about shit luck!
-
If you read the blog thingy on the myspace pages to kill hannah and lostprophets it seems like they also is pretty shocked about him cancelling the tour, but wounder what the real reason was ??? it seems so fucking strange to cancel a tour for a album that is going to be realesed around this time the next year.
-
Maybe they have a huge suprise for us.
:P

im starting to think the whole thing about poor ticket sales are true beacause i was thinking of going to the halloween show (since its the only date for so.cal) but i didnt feel like sitting through shitty bands like papa roach and the other stupid fucks that were there, i went to see HIM and dammit thats what im gonna see lol...sitting through one band usually is far too long to wait for HIM to come on, unless theyre a good band like they had on the last tour, i liked them. but the ppl in the crowd were complete rude assholes (HOB in LA) bitches runied my night! :-[

Well good thing Shane doesnt live in the LA County than.
Because the Mayor Villaraigosa (whatever you spell his freaking fake latino ass name) sounds awfully familiar.
Hmmm.
Political anyone?
Si!
he ppl in the crowd were complete rude assholes (HOB in LA) bitches runied my night! :-[
I didnt go to the H.O.B. Gig, but I did hear that security was horrible for that Night. I personally think some locations should focus more on their maintance and security operations because kids are getting tossed left and right when a slow song is playing and idiots are throwing kids side to side because emo retards think its fashion to do that.
Oh HIM Punk'd all of you guys!
They got you good! Hahaha Idiots!
I will be the only one sitting in front of the Gig the day before the Gig that way I will scream "Ville spit in my mouth please!".
And you guys cant do shit about it!
*cue to bring the Trumpet guy.
Wah
Wah
Wah-hhhh
There are better things to do than see two bad bands play before another bad band.
:P
Nothing like egging your ex's house, only to discover she moved because you stalked her too much.
(Rambling enough? I think not!).
But seriously now.

To cheer everyone up, you can hear the new 69 Eyes single "Perfect Skin" here (http://www.emi.fi/jukebox).

Wikipedia.org, whose reputation has been kicked around a bit lately, has another goofy bit of "information" at the end of Ville Valo's entry. It reads:
According to sources at a recent Cleveland concert, Valo has snapped his left arm, thus contributing to the cancellation of every concert after that. The No Sleep 'Til Halloween tour included Kill Hannah, Papa Roach and Lostprophets.
This is probably bogus. Who are these "sources" at a Cleveland concert. What Cleveland concert? Random bozos in line at a Goo Goo Dolls concert?

i wnated to go so badly good thing i didn't buy tickets.!
