You are such a lucky guy, watching my 2 favorite bands in such a short time! First Kamelot, now Delain! So jealous, haha. Do you happen to have any more videos from Delain yesterday? Thank you for posting!
This is called Symphonic Metal, a genre in which it is impossible for bands to tour without backing tracks. Think for yourself: Where will you put a whole orchestra, choir and backing vocalists in a small venue for 1000 people, and what would the ticket price be per person for such a performance? By the way, Visions of Atlantis - the supporting band for Delain, use backing tracks even for keyboards. They had a keyboard player until 2017, but now they rely on technology, obviously because it's cheaper. The current economic situation in the world and in the music business in particular forces many artists to cut corners wherever possible.
Well at least hey have a keyboard player. A lot of other bands at the festival don't and also have backings playing along. So Delain can also afford having more keys in their music.

I do, but not full songs. I'll share the rest when I'm home! Got to Meet kamelot and Delain too! Incredible weekend
A little bit much with the backing tracks maybe? I'm hearing a lot of fill without anyone actually playing instruments.
