NIGHTWISH EARNED MILLIONS

Band broke up in the moment of the biggest profit. The profit was 2 million.

Million copies sold Once-album, the tours in Europa and South-America and the shows for example in Japan and Australia. On the Fall was released also Highest Hopes and the DVD End of an Era. Nightwish broke up in the moment of their biggest success.
This is also proved by the results of the companies on the band's background. The sales of Scene Nation Oy rose to the new record 2,7 million euros. Besides the salaries, it paid 217 900 euros to its partners, so it's 54 475 euros to each person.

One of the biggest taxpayer of Kitee
The one who benefits most is the tax office of Kitee. It took now from Scene Nation 530 000 euros - in the last year it was 411 000 euros. With these results Scene Nation is one of the biggest taxpayer of North Karelian Kitee.

The bandleader, keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen has also his own company called Potoska Publishing. Still all the Nightwish's incomes - royalties, concert fees, Nightwish-shop - increase Scene Nation's sales. The chairman of the board of Scene Nation, drummer Jukka Nevalainen says that the company has enlarged to sell also the products of other Finnish heavy metal bands, and for that set up moremusic.fi shop.

Nevalainen tells that after two weeks Nightwish will enter the studio, to make the new album that is planned to be released on the next year. -If we don't find a singer, we are ready to postpone the release of the album. We have no hurry. We won't take any risks, if we keep over a year break. We'd take a risk, if we made an overhasty decision, Nevalainen says.
