THRESHOLD Planning 'Quite A Different Show' For Dutch Dates

April 11, 2008

UK progressive metallers THRESHOLD will perform two headline shows in The Netherlands on April 18 and April 19, in Helmond and Zoetermeer, respectively. The band is planning quite a different set to the one they played in The Netherlands last year.

"It's only been seven months since we played those venues so we want to come back with quite a different show this year," commented keyboard player Richard West. "We don't want to reveal specific songs before the night, but about half of the setlist will be changed. We're just working on the final details at the moment in our rehearsal studio, but we're planning to include an acoustic section in the middle of the set with two or three songs we haven't played acoustically on stage before. We're also hoping to resurrect one of our old epics that we haven't played for over ten years, as well as some other songs we haven't done for a while."

THRESHOLD was most recently in The Netherlands supporting WITHIN TEMPTATION in front of a sold-out 8,000 crowd last November.

"We played quite a short set but hopefully we made a few new fans, so now they have a chance to see us this month for a full THRESHOLD set," commented West.

THRESHOLD will be supported by A DAY'S WORK at Plato, Helmond on April 18 and by RPWL at Boerderij, Zoetermeer on April 19.

THRESHOLD released its first-ever "best-of" collection in November, featuring over 140 minutes of music from all their studio albums plus three previously unreleased single versions. Entitled "The Ravages of Time (The Best of Threshold)", the two-disc set was issued by the band's previous label Inside Out Music on November 20 in the U.S. (one day earlier internationally). The track listing was selected by the band in conjunction with the label.
