I KNOW! It's reasonable to think a professional singer would get better over the years, but how does she keep getting PRETTIER? I swear she's twice as beautiful now as when she was 20. 😮

Amazing set list... each song is a banger... although its hard 2 find a song u actually don't like by Epica... hands down this is my favorite band... and I would love to see them live... I hope they will come back 2 Colorado soon
20 years.. and i still cannot believe she s real. the most beautiful voice ever. unreal. thank you Smoon and Epica. She s 6 years older than me and looks 15 years younger.. angel on earth. keep being you EPICA!
There has to be something in the Dutch water! Floor Jansen, Charlotte Wessels, and Simone Simons. Unbelievable talent blended with amazing looks. Who’s next?!
I have to say this is the best show of the whole tour. Epica has transcended the genre. They are now one of the best band in the entire heavy metal scene.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Como Epican no se puede decir mejor. Para mi es la mujer más hermosa del universo. Y su voz es divina. Epica Forever and Ever!!!!!! 🤘😍🥰🫶🌹❤️😘❤️🔥🤗💋😇🔥
I love "the Final Lullaby" too. But without the other vocalist from Shining, it didn't sound as good live as on the album. As good as Simone is, it sounded like it was too difficult to try and sing both parts.
@@MetalMinion3 That's right, the song is amazing but it feels empty without the second vocalist. Simone did a great job but there are too many lyrics even for her.
@@modolucci She told in some interviews that she was having some neck issues due headbang. But seeing her 2023 performances..... man, Simone is showing why she's been around for 20 years in the scene and the why (and the how) the "symphonic darks queen" throne's crown its in her head. No other "symphonic darks queen" could show that level of profesionality that Simone has shown through years.
@MyriamNightwisher I went down to see the comments looking for someone else who noticed this ❤ I always loved Epica, for 16 years now, but I missed how engaging Simone can be live. This is awesome and remind me of how lively Floor is on stage!
Please more concerts in HQ quality. Because many concerts are uploaded on UA-cam and they look great but most of the time the audio is very bad, many times I have to turn the volume up to the maximum to be able to hear them well.
O UA-cam cortou o volume do áudio em -3.7db. Se você mandar vídeo sem nenhum cuidado em colocar -1db pico e -14LUFS o UA-cam extermina seu áudio, sempre veja a estatística para nerds.
Mind blown! This is the most awesome performance I have ever seen from Epica. Simone has become better and better on stage over the years and this concert she kills it on every song! ❤❤ Simone you are the best metal singer I have ever seen perform. 😁
SIN DUDAS LA MEJOR BANDA DE METAL SIMFONICO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS....UNA BANDA ARROLLADORA...POTENTE...Y UNA VOCALISTA QUE UN ANGEL CAIDO DEL CIELO....SIMONNE REALMENTE ES FANTASTICA....UNA VOZ ANGELICAL Y MUY BELLA MUJER....EPICA CAMINO A SER UNA LEYENDA VIVIENTE DEL HEAVY METAL SMFONICO....LARGA VIDA ALHEAVY METAL....EPICA FOREVEEERRR🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I cannot go see Epica un person at one of their shows due to health problems, But Epica is MY BUCKET LIST BAND AND THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING.... YOU GUYS ROCK!!
Nunca tive oportunidade de assistir aos shows da banda Épica mais amo ouvir às músicas linda demais a banda inteira muito envolvente. ❤❤❤❤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼. Sou baiana lá não vai nenhuma banda de rock e tem bastante público para assistir.
Esse show foi extremamente agressivo da banda. E nessa mesma proporção de brutalidade está a qualidade da banda, de todos, não só dá vocalista. Muita harmonia e diversão entre eles ali no palco. Impressionante.
Volví a verlo completo otra vez. Estoy sorprendido por la voz de Simone. Es diferente, como si hubiera despertado de un sueño y comenzó a cantar con su voz intacta. Pero aún así, está transitando tonos bajos que antes no llegaba, y su potencia es llamativa. Además, es lo q observo, hace los mismos temas explorando otros matices, se la ve segura adónde va. A diferencia de antes, que obviamente se sentía condicionada y es lógico. Me alegra enormemente este cambio, antes era una cantante delicada, refinada. Ahora es para mí una cantante de puta madre. Sinceramente y con todo respeto, ha sido un orgasmo emocional volver a disfrutar este concierto. 🔱🎶🔱
I only started listening to Metal around 2 years ago, symphonic metal to be exact when a good friend pestered me in to listening to Nightwish. Reluctantly I relented and was to my surprise blown away by "The Poet and the Pendulum" live by Nightwish from Wembley 2015 and have been ever since. On the back of that I have just started seriously listening to EPICA and again blown away. Just when I thought I'd heard it all these two phenomenal bands (particularly live) come along. I've listened to others but these two bands stand out. 🙏😊👍♥️
Unfcking believable! Been a huge fan of Epica for a very long time, and I think this is truly one of their best shows and a peak performance. @epica you must release this as a live album asap!! Love Simone's crazy eyes during this set :-) Crowd looks about as excited as Novak after winning 5 straight Grand Slams... which is about zero. Shame, but at least the band manages to fuse their own energy.
TE AMO SIMONE....ERES LA MUJER MAS BELLA QUE HE CONOCIDO....CON UNA VOZ ANGELICAL....UNICA....LA MUJER PERFECTA...BELLISIMA Y METALERAA QUE MAS PEDIR.....💘💘💘
I think the type of belt that holds her clothes broke, she already had her hand holding it before, so as soon as she finishes her part and Mark's begins, she runs off the stage to fix it.😅😅
This is a great concert. But this one misses 2 of their greatest numbers (IMHO), that they did perform at AFAS: Fools Of Damnation and Design Your Universe.
They remixed it for this upload. I remember the livestream was a bit poorly mixed. Glad they put in the work because this show is one of the best I heard from them
A band on top of their game. Simone hasn’t looked or sounded better
I KNOW! It's reasonable to think a professional singer would get better over the years, but how does she keep getting PRETTIER? I swear she's twice as beautiful now as when she was 20. 😮

matur suksma😊
Un Set de la concha de la lora , puros temazos de sus mejores discos 🚬
20 years.. and i still cannot believe she s real. the most beautiful voice ever. unreal. thank you Smoon and Epica.
She s 6 years older than me and looks 15 years younger.. angel on earth. keep being you EPICA!
Simone
Simone is a true goddess for sure. She is gorgeous and I never loved any other female voice as much. Especially her operatic soprano. Pure beauty.
If MDMA were a sound and not a drug, it would be the sound of Simone Simons' voice.
I agree with you. Epica is a great team and they do beautiful job over years. Damm they good.
PS Damm, I want to visit their show now :)
@@51bikerboy Smoon is her nickname
Something about listening/watching Epica always makes me happy and forget about life. Pure escapism.
Simone voice's never fail. Amazing concert, thanks for share!!!
There has to be something in the Dutch water! Floor Jansen, Charlotte Wessels, and Simone Simons. Unbelievable talent blended with amazing looks. Who’s next?!
And Sharon den Adel
True. Adding Sharon Adel
not in the Metal scene, but Susana carries great pipes !
Dianne van Giersbergen. Spinto soprano and smoking hot.

I have to say this is the best show of the whole tour. Epica has transcended the genre. They are now one of the best band in the entire heavy metal scene.
Whahahaha...
Have you been to every show ?! Have you seen every metal group ?!
They are one of the best live bands that's for sure!! Their energy combined with their epic show is amazing.
@@K3nzero He said "ONE of the best" he didn't say "best" and I agree at least when it comes to this style of music combined with the live show".
@@down-the-rabbit-hole "this is the best show of the whole tour"
Never seen her do so much freestyling off the script......and enjoying herself. Great upload, great band, hope to see them again next year
Simone Simons una de las mujeres más talentosas y hermosas del mundo 🧡🤘 EPICA Forever And Ever
Totalmente de acuerdo.
Como Epican no se puede decir mejor.
Para mi es la mujer más hermosa del universo. Y su voz es divina.
Epica Forever and Ever!!!!!!
🤘😍🥰🫶🌹❤️😘❤️🔥🤗💋😇🔥
@@Obsessive_Devotion 🤘🧡
Amén
Simone was amazing in this concert, her performance gave me goosebumps! She is looking and sounding more incredible than ever! Kudos EPICA 4 Ever ❤🤘🏼
Waw ... Simone is mesmerizing the art of singing 🙏🤘🎶❤️ my fav. Singer , ever !! 🤘🤘🤘she is the incarnation of " perfection" on this planet ✨
DITTO here!! U nailed it!!!!! 🤘😎
Same here! I have a deep admiration for her, she's a goddess.
Simone Simons is the real-life equivalent of rolling up a D&D character and getting all 18s.
Being at this concert is the highlight of 2023 for me. SEE YOU IN AMSTERDAM EPICA
Behold the terrifyingly beautiful and cosmically talented Simone. Epica is just killing it.
Epica looked like they were having so much fun in this show! Fans were even rocking with all the rain.
It was not raining at Exit..
1:05:39 Simone ♥️✨
She is amazing, a true goddess! 🙃
Her vocal
Control is insane!!
damn, The Final Lullaby is fcking masterpiece...
It's a great song, but Jorgen Munkeby is of course missed live.
I love the way Simone looks in this concert! ❤
Baldy on the keyboard looks like he’s going to knock himself out! lol
Great job Exit! 😎
As Nightwish fan I always respected Epica
Well, it would be hard to not respect them and goddess Simone. Only true haters could do that. 🤣
@@cancelled_user well they are a lot of idiots in this world who dont have good taste in music
as music fan in general i don't understand why people fight between epica and nightwish they both great just enjoy the music
Same here.....epica...and nightwish.....always❤
nowadays I´d rather listen to Epica, the sound more alive to me. Don´t get me wrong, Nightwish was my favorite band for long years
Keep "The Final Lullaby", "The Skeleton Key" and "Code of Life" forever in the setlists. What a great songs!
I love "the Final Lullaby" too. But without the other vocalist from Shining, it didn't sound as good live as on the album. As good as Simone is, it sounded like it was too difficult to try and sing both parts.
"A Phantasmic Parade" should be included!
@@MetalMinion3 That's right, the song is amazing but it feels empty without the second vocalist. Simone did a great job but there are too many lyrics even for her.
Watching first time epica in Australia amazing concert 😊
Love this concert! Simone has been particularly engaging and energetic on stage lately, I really like this new way of performing! 😮❤
I agree! I also like that she is doing more headbanging, that was something I really missed!
@@modolucci She told in some interviews that she was having some neck issues due headbang. But seeing her 2023 performances..... man, Simone is showing why she's been around for 20 years in the scene and the why (and the how) the "symphonic darks queen" throne's crown its in her head. No other "symphonic darks queen" could show that level of profesionality that Simone has shown through years.
@@ironsol92I beg to differ, check out Floor Jansen of Nightwish, although Simone is my definite second! ❤️
@MyriamNightwisher I went down to see the comments looking for someone else who noticed this ❤ I always loved Epica, for 16 years now, but I missed how engaging Simone can be live. This is awesome and remind me of how lively Floor is on stage!

EPICA full orchestra and singers next year in Amsterdam! That’s a must go

Never heard Marc sing in al normal voice 😮(final lullaby)
There is some footage but very rare hahaha
Yeah, that made me smile :)

I was at the first line and they were gorgeous 😍🤘🤘🔥🔥
I cannot go see Epica un person at one of their shows due to health problems, But Epica is MY BUCKET LIST BAND AND THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING.... YOU GUYS ROCK!!
😊
So happy to see these mammoths of Symphonic Metal coming this far from their gothic roots.
I was there, great concert, great energy. Truly a memory for a lifetime. 🤘🤘
I am jealous!!
WOOOOW simone shines here her voice is pretty more stronger on this tour
Her voice has come far over the years
Incredible concert. The band always was top notch, but Simone singing improved so much in these last 2 years compared to 2017-2020. Really glad
Thanks Epica and thanks Exit Festival for this amazing show! ❤
What an outstanding setlist! Great live performance too. Epica is better than ever! ❤
I love so much that she's also a makeup artist and does this amazing dark queen makeup by herself... Or probably all of her makeup!
Nunca tive oportunidade de assistir aos shows da banda Épica mais amo ouvir às músicas linda demais a banda inteira muito envolvente. ❤❤❤❤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼. Sou baiana lá não vai nenhuma banda de rock e tem bastante público para assistir.
eles ja tocaram em recife pe
Amazing band. My favorite band! Perfect concert
Here's what a TRUE GODDESS looks like. Period.
Epica live is really epic! Amazing!
I wish they could include my favorite song of all time tides of times on their tours.....
Cry For The Moon is pure gold
Congratulations EPICA, you are amazing. Thank you for the wonderful shows and for making people happy.
Esse show foi extremamente agressivo da banda. E nessa mesma proporção de brutalidade está a qualidade da banda, de todos, não só dá vocalista. Muita harmonia e diversão entre eles ali no palco. Impressionante.
Volví a verlo completo otra vez.
Estoy sorprendido por la voz de Simone. Es diferente, como si hubiera despertado de un sueño y comenzó a cantar con su voz intacta. Pero aún así, está transitando tonos bajos que antes no llegaba, y su potencia es llamativa.
Además, es lo q observo, hace los mismos temas explorando otros matices, se la ve segura adónde va. A diferencia de antes, que obviamente se sentía condicionada y es lógico.
Me alegra enormemente este cambio, antes era una cantante delicada, refinada. Ahora es para mí una cantante de puta madre.
Sinceramente y con todo respeto, ha sido un orgasmo emocional volver a disfrutar este concierto. 🔱🎶🔱
Alpha - Anteludium/Abyss of time is the best concert opening ever.
The Retrospect opening was f*cking beautiful too.
Im out of words... The act of the millenium
36:45 is that the sound when you reach heaven?
Epica tour Asia, please...and come to Indonesia
Que show espetacular. Epica nunca decepciona. 👏👏👏
Stunning performance 💥
What a perfect performance!
Сколько лет слушаю... Крутяк! Симона очень сильна, да и вся группа в целом!

MEU DEUS DO CÉU, QUE PÚBLICO PARADO E MORTO! INACREDITÁVEL!
Eles vão se surpreender com o brasileiro dia 27 em SP 😂
Unfcking believable! Been a huge fan of Epica for a very long time, and I think this is truly one of their best shows and a peak performance. @epica you must release this as a live album asap!!
Love Simone's crazy eyes during this set :-)
Crowd looks about as excited as Novak after winning 5 straight Grand Slams... which is about zero. Shame, but at least the band manages to fuse their own energy.
Great and epic show just like their name from start to finish. This is Epica at their peak!
An incredibly exciting concert I wish i was there 😊
The band has reached a second zenith. Especially Simone's vocals - and of course the " Duracell Rabbit" drummer!!!
Yes Arie is a BEAST on drums 🔥🤘🏻
what a great performance
Que buena y hermosa Voz.
como siempre
espectacular. 🤘
Great job with the audio!Absolutely loved it!
Yea this one sounds great, the previous version of this concert that was on UA-cam sounded like it was playing from the barrel.
Beautiful, amazing perform😍🥰🥰😍
Love to You and Peace to the World 💓💓💓
Thank you Exit for posting this!!!
Jamás sale uno decepcionado con Epica, cada día más ansioso de verlos en CDMX en diciembre
Tenho nem palavras para descrever, simplesmente sensacional! 🤘
Epica lives for ever and ever
My favorite band!

LOVE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT METAL FETIVAL❤THIS SHOWS HOW EPICA IS HUGE

On top of their game, looks like they have so much fun!!! Wish to see them here in Quebec again...
TE AMO SIMONE....ERES LA MUJER MAS BELLA QUE HE CONOCIDO....CON UNA VOZ ANGELICAL....UNICA....LA MUJER PERFECTA...BELLISIMA Y METALERAA QUE MAS PEDIR.....💘💘💘
What is Simone showing Isaac at 1:10:26 ? Leave your past behind ?? 😂
some kind of wardrobe malfunction?? 😹she grabs something behind her and doesn't let go until she finally has a break to go side stage
I think the type of belt that holds her clothes broke, she already had her hand holding it before, so as soon as she finishes her part and Mark's begins, she runs off the stage to fix it.😅😅
I think he unzipped her clothes or something like that))
Probably she broke something of her outfit because of the jumping for that song
Simone! THAT OUTFIT! I need this too!
Simone Simons deusa ❤
Awesome Epica ❤🎉🎉 Simone 🔥🔥🔥❤️💛
EPICA es de las bandas que se disfruta ver tocar en VIVO por qué suenan mucho mejor que CD. 👏
🤟 🎸 🎶 🎵
Epica es puro arte! Amo esta banda!!
Realmente é o melhor da turnê.Maravilhoso, incrível.

Amazing quality, thank you for posting.
I LOVE you EPICA ❤❤
What an energy. Better than the afas concert? Or no?
I was at the AFAS show and during the show their energy was amazing too, it was an awesome show!
I think AFAS has a little bit better sound.
This is a great concert.
But this one misses 2 of their greatest numbers (IMHO), that they did perform at AFAS: Fools Of Damnation and Design Your Universe.
Sound quality it's fantastic
They remixed it for this upload. I remember the livestream was a bit poorly mixed. Glad they put in the work because this show is one of the best I heard from them
