Tuomas Holopainen commented on building the set list for tour:
“For example, “Sleeping Sun“ is in the set because it’s one of Floor‘s favorite songs. It’s perfect for her voice and it’s nice to play it after all these years.“Stargazers“ was another one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s real fun to play. In general, we play songs that we enjoy playing, not the stuff we feel we must play.“
