The Silent Force Tour was a concert tour by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation in support of their third album, The Silent Force. The international growth the band had been facing with the album reflected well on the touring schedule and the locations played, as the band started being able to play in several newly visited countries and at bigger music festivals, such as the Download Festival in the United Kingdom, Wacken Open Air in Germany and the Loud Park Festival in Japan. The concert at the Java-eiland, in Amsterdam, was recorded and released homonymously under the name The Silent Force Tour on November, 2005.

Background

Within Temptation's third album, The Silent Force, was released on 15 November 2004. The album was an instant number one debut on the band's homecountry and charted well in many other European countries^[1]. In support of the release they embarked on another large international tour in 2005, with dates across Europe and a one-off show in Dubai and another in Japan. A special concert at the Java-eiland, Netherlands, was recorded and released as a DVD, entitled The Silent Force Tour. The concert included special guests, as old Within Temptation members in some songs.^[2] The band also showed heavy presence at summer music festivals, including their first presentation at the Download Festival in the United Kingdom and also headlining the 2005 edition of the also British Bloodstock Open Air.^[3]
