thedarksiren2 | Delerium - First world tour!

Delerium, the masters of blending dance, pop, goth and new age music who have sold over one million records internationally with over 200,000 sold in the Canada alone, will embark on their first ever tour in support of their newest work "Chimera" (Nettwerk).

Over the last few years Delerium have produced two runaway dance singles: "Silence," featuring Sarah McLachlan on vocals, and "Innocente," which borrowed vocals from Sixpence None The Richer's Leigh Nash. With the band's fourth Nettwerk release, Chimera, Delerium look to repeat their international success with "After All" featuring vocals from Jaël (of Swiss band Lunik).

While the core of Delerium is one man, Front Line Assembly front man Bill Leeb, the collaborations are a critical part of Delerium's ever-evolving sound. With that in mind, Leeb has asked frequent collaborator and Front Line Assembly partner Rhys Fulber to join him on the tour. Another key element to Delerium's music are the guest vocalists that have been a part of their many records, ranging from the aforementioned Sarah McLachlan to Julee Cruise to Matthew Sweet to the Mediaeval Baebes and many more. Delerium will be bringing Kristy Thirsk and Shelley Harland out for the trek.

Rhys Fulber will be pulling double duty as his pseudonym, Conjure One, will open throughout the 18 date trek, with Chemda acting as his vocalist for the duration of the tour. DJ Sidestepper will also be on the tour.

While the notion of a Delerium tour in itself is both a special and extremely rare event, the artists involve have planned a full evening of entertainment both audibly and visually that they describe as "elegant" and with a recognizable Delerium "style."
