Within Temptation 2024-11-26 MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, Lisbon

Tue, November 26, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ MEO Arena-Sala Tejo

The tour of Within Temptation is: "Blled Out 2024 Tour".
It was my 5th Within Temptation show.

I arrived at MEO Arena-Sala Tejo at 07:10 am. Now it was my second time in this pavilion. It was a sunny day.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. Later in the afternoon they set up a merchandising stand where I could see some of the official material for sale.

Scheduled times next.
18:30 General doors
19:25 Show was scheduled to start "Blind8"
20:00 Show was scheduled to start "Annisokay"
21:00 Show was scheduled to start "Within Temptation"
22:35 Show ends

At 18:30 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then the police check and then I started running inside the pavilion. I went down 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my left the main stage already with a lot of people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early). I went to the right side, in front of the end of the stage (about 1 meter to the right from the day before).

We had 2 bands playing before Within Temptation.

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 1st band Blind8 (Ukranian Band), they started at 19:27 and played 23 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

Was my 2nd time watching them. Between the 4th and 5th song they spoke for a few minutes about the war happening in their Country.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 2nd band Annisokay (Metalcore German Band), they started at 20:02 and played 33 minutes. Played a set of 8 songs.

Was also my 2nd time watching them. They sing a song with Sharon "Like A Parasite" and after that they sing the Linkin Park cover song of "One Step Closer". They were awesome (this time I was not surprised).

Finally was time for Within Temptation. They started at 20:59 and played 92 minutes. Played a set of 17 songs.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. I hadn't seen them for 13 years.
And to see finally "Tarja" playing 3 songs with Within Temptation was a dream. I never made it to see her live not with Nightwish not even when she played as a solo artist.
Was cool that Within Temptation changed 2 songs in the setlist. On the 1st day we had "All I Need" (15th song) and "Mother Earth" (17th song) and on the 2nd day they played "Angels" (15th song) and "Ice Queen" (17th song). This 4 songs are so epic. "All I Need" was always one of my favorite songs. "Mother Earth" and "Ice Queen" are just so epic live. Also love "Angels".
The band members are:

Current members:
Sharon den Adel – lead vocals (1996–present)
Robert Westerholt – rhythm guitar, unclean vocals (1996–present, studio only since 2011)
Jeroen van Veen – bass (1996–present)
