Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA (featuring members of SOILWORK and ARCH ENEMY) will end their first European tour today at Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg, Sweden. The short but successful run led the band through Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, France and Switzerland and left people excited and speechless. See media reactions above.
Commented a happy band: "Embarking on our first European Tour with THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, ended up being a wilder journey than expected. We are all mind blown from the response, dancing shoes and smiling faces in the crowd. We can’t thank our fans enough and this might have been just about the best wrap up of a year anyone of us can remember. We’ve been flying under the radar for quite some time but here we are and we’re here to stay. Let’s continue this beautiful journey together and never look back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️"
