Siníéad the 2nd single from “The Unforgiving†will be released between July 15th and 19th in most countries. With undeniable disco grooves, we took this opportunity to further enhance the track’s dance floor appeal merging these seemingly disparate genres to create contagious new versions of “Siníéad with the help of four acclaimed dance producers. Scooter, VNV Nation, Benno de Goeij and Groove Coverage. Each of the collaborating DJ producers had carte blanche to reinterpret “Siníéad†to suit their preferred style and personal vision. Both in the story of ‘The Unforgiving’ as well as on the album, ‘Siníéad‘ has always been a favorite of all of us. She is a character with a lot of different opposite sides to her, just like the song. It is catchy and feel good but at the same time emotional and melancholic. So from the start it was quite clear that Siníéad would be released as a single from this album. We recently launched the videoclip of Siníéad. And you can still win an exclusive signed merchandise package, by sharing the video on your Facebookprofile for one week. Only Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands will release physical CD formats in addition to digital bundles with the various mixes and the unreleased track “Emty Eyesâ€. All other markets will make the tracks available as digital downloads. Due to a unique sponsoring opportunity, the fans in Germany will find a voucher code in 1.500 of the CD 2 track singles which will give them free access to Within Temptation’s “The First Challenge†concert on August 12th. If you get your 2 track CD single in the week after release on July 15th in Germany you have a very good chance to find a voucher code in your single. Another nice bonus is included in the Maxi CDs which are sold at www.bol.com in the Netherlands. The Maxi CD comes with the 2nd edition of the WT comic “Penance Part IIâ€.

n August 10th we will play our first festival show since a long time and if this is not enough, it will be at one of the biggest and best festivals in Europe.Sziget Festival is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe. The festival is held annually in August in Budapest, Hungary and takes place on í“budai-sziget (“Old-Buda Islandâ€).In 2011, Sziget was ranked one of the 5 best festivals in Europe by The Independent, and one of the 10 best by the European Festival Awards.Only 2 days later on Friday, August 12th “The First Challenge†is WT’s very special festival performance at home in the Netherlands, but right next to the border of Germany in Ulft. The First Challenge will not only be a unique WT concert, it will be a WT happening. We will play the whole concept album “The Unforgiving†in one go and in the follow order of the CD plus all your favorite Within Temptation hits in a grand finale. The visual presentation will feature brand new images on big screens, a sneak preview is alread on our site. There will be an after show party with a VNV DJ-Set (as our next performance at Me’ra Luna festival is not a long drive from Ulft, so we will have some time to enjoy the after show party – definately looking forward to that!)., the Unforgiving Race car is on the site etc, etc. Tickets for “The First Challenge†are still available and can be purchased here for the Dutch fans and here for the German fans.On the next day, Saturday August 13th we are looking forward to return to the best festival in Germany “Me’ra Luna†in Hildesheim as a headliner. Me’ra Luna has been voted the best festival in 2011 on the German Live Music Award (LEA). That’s well deserved, it’s also our favorite one in Germany with great memories of our first steps on a big festival in our neighbour country.Off the stage at Me’ra Luna we will then drive over night to Switzerland to perform at Heitere Open Air in Zí¶fingen on Sunday 14.08. Heitere Open Air has been a summer festival highlight in the country since the 90ies.We also can’t wait to see the fans in Belgium and at home in the Netherlands at the legendary Pukkelpop Festival on the 19th and Lowlands festival on the 20th of August. Both events are already sold out for a long time.Stoppelhaene Festival (25.08) and Bavaria Open Air (27.08) are 2 more great Festivals before we depart to Transylvania for the Fíélsziget Fesztivál on 28.08., which is one of the largest summer festivals in Romania.Needless to say – but we are extremely excited to see all of you out there at one of these festivals and send our best regards from the rehersal room.See you soon…..Within Temptation
