WITHIN TEMPTATION To Play Acoustic Show For Charity

October 14, 2011

In support of Hard Rock Caf's "Pinktober" charity campaign to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer, Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers WITHIN TEMPTATION will perform an exclusive unplugged set at Hard Rock Cafe in Cologne, Germany on November 17.

The performance is scheduled for 4 p.m. and will be followed by a signing session.

Tickets for this event will be sold exclusively at Hard Rock Caf's Rock Shop in Cologne for 10 euros.

The first 20 visitors who present a ticket for WITHIN TEMPTATION's E-Werk concerts in Cologne on November 16 and November 17 will be granted free admission to the performance at Hard Rock Caf.

Commented singer Sharon den Adel: "Breast cancer remains one of the most common life-threatening cancers affecting women: One out of eight women will get breast cancer in her life. Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. It is therefore very important to keep a high awareness level of the subject in the general public. I am very happy to make a small contribution with my band to a regular event such as Hard Rock Caf's Pinktober campaign."

WITHIN TEMPTATION's fifth studio album, "The Unforgiving", sold around 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 50 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on March 29, the CD was produced by Daniel Gibson and is based on a comic book story written by script writer Steven O'Connell (BloodRayne, Dark 48). The band asked comic artist Romano Molenaar (Witchblade, Darkness, X-Men) to draw the characters and scenery of "The Unforgiving", which was made available via Sony Music in Continental Europe and Roadrunner Records in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, Japan and Australia.

WITHIN TEMPTATION guitarist Robert Westerholt recently announced that he will step down from touring duties in order to focus on taking care of the three children he has with Sharon den Adel. His replacement on stage is Stefan Helleblad, who has been working with the band behind the scenes for a few years.
