Well, if Jukka ain't coming back, they can't do better than Kai Hahto, he's the best Finnish drummer.
It's uncertain. He said he will when he's healthy again, but there's been no mention of his situation ever since.

I honestly think is the complete wrong move. No doubt Tuomas and the band have earned a break, but they seem to be in such a good place right now that taking 1.5/2 years away from touring seems insane.
Also, if any band that replaced their singer in 2012 was going to do this...why Nightwish and not KAMELOT?! I want new Seventh Wonder, damnit!
Is that pregnancy thing just you speculating or did I miss something...?

Just speculation of course. This quote:
When asked if her old band ReVamp is perhaps part of what she is currently considering: “That’s part of the thinking,” she says with a smile but without confirming anything.
This could mean other musical projects or something else. I'm sure she will do several guest apperances for other bands as well

I think you're speculating pretty wildly on that, honestly. Musical projects is obviously the most likely and it would make sense for her to do more ReVamp now that she's been exposed to a bigger audience.

...it's oddly fitting.
You see what I mean about the mud?

...sounds fucking amazing. I hope they keep playing that one. I'd love to see it live. Floor rules.
Pro-shot but sound is not good. Cool show though.
NIGHTWISH will release a live DVD/BLU-RAY package ”Vehicle Of Spirit” in November 2016
After touring for a year and a half throughout almost every corner of the world and leaving fans of all nationalities breathless, the time has come for NIGHTWISH to immortalize their "Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour 2015-2016" on DVD. Therefore, the symphonic metal visionaries are set to release their new live milestone »Vehicle Of Spirit« on November 4th, featuring not only two full concerts, but also plenty of bonus material.
"The title "Vehicle Of Spirit" came from a friend of Troy's, who after seeing our show a few years ago defined NIGHTWISH as 'A vehicle of spirit that defies category'. That beautiful description has followed us ever since, and felt like a perfect match as the DVD title," states keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen.
Sold out arenas and spectacular shows with never before seen pyro effects, wind machines, video screens and of course NIGHTWISH's incomparable melodies are the elements that made their latest tour so unique.
Special highlights for the band have been two particular shows though: The one in London, where they not only played their hymns such as "Élan" and the majestic "The Greatest Show On Earth" to more than 12.000 fans, but also welcomed the world famous scientist Richard Dawkins live on stage with them.
Richard Dawkins´ works had a massive impact on the thematical orientation of their latest studio album ”Endless Forms Most Beautiful”. Finland's Tampere show however was a home run for the band and never before NIGHTWISH had such an immense stage production with them:
"I would say the main part of the DVD are those two shows, both Wembley and Tampere. Wembley is mentioned first due to its recognizability and legendary status. I remember the show being very special, both a goal achieved, and a starting point. The crowd was heartwarming. The presence of Richard Dawkins on stage was mind-blowing. The overall Wembley experience was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill ride!
The show in Ratina Stadion, Tampere, was a home crowd specialty (for 4/6th of the band) with the biggest stage production we've ever had. A lovely atmosphere throughout the concert, with many same faces in the front row as there were 15 years ago. Heartfelt."
When it comes to the final artwork of the DVD, NIGHTWISH decided to walk different paths this time and come up with a little alternative idea, as Tuomas explains:
"We didn`t want to include a traditional band shot for the cover, as on the previous DVD release »Showtime, Storytime«. So we started brainstorming on different options and the idea of a classic silent movie era - Hollywood visuals quickly came up. With those classic slogans the cover has a little tongue-in-cheek-touch to it, but it's still classy and eye-catching in its simplicity and originality."

Nice. I was at the Wembley Arena show.

This warms my heart so to speak. Last week Sami Vänskä joined Nightwish on stage. Sami who? Well this guy was fired from the band in a rather cold manner.
And despite liking his replacement, I always felt some pity for the guy. I hadn't expected this but it's good to see these guys together. And there's clearly some nice interaction going on.
different angle:
And here a song with Jukka!
Nightwish talking about a recent documentary. The drummer wears a Number of the Beast shirt!
