Nightwish singer Anette Olzon will perform on January 19, 2010 during the "P3 Guld" (Swedish radio's annual music awards) live awards ceremony broadcast from the Scandinavium Arena in Gothenburg, Sweden. The event will be aired live on both Swedish national Tv and radio. Commented Olzon: "The gala is an award gala where our biggest public radio channel, P3, gives away awards to best song, best album, best artist etc.
"I am excited and I look so forward to show myself to the Swedish people.
"We [Nightwish] haven't done so many performances in my own country, even though we have sold gold with [the latest Nightwish album] 'Dark Passion Play', so this is a nice thing for me to do."
