A new chapter. A new intensity. A tour that gets under your skin.

Tarja returns to the heavy stage with full force in 2026. "Frisson Live 2026" marks the beginning of a new artistic chapter - powerful, dynamic and emotionally charged.

Alongside the tour, Tarja is releasing her brand new studio album - her first full album in the heavier sound spectrum for seven years. With renewed energy and artistic determination, she returns to the sonic intensity that has shaped her career.

Seven years after her last full studio album in the heavier sound spectrum, Tarja steps into the spotlight with renewed intensity. The new tour stands for a production that focuses on strong contrasts: between fragility and power, between cinematic atmosphere and uncompromising metal energy.

This is not a retrospective.

This is forward motion.

"Frisson" describes that moment when music gives you goosebumps. When emotions hit unexpectedly. When energy runs through the whole body.

It is precisely this feeling that is at the heart of the tour.

The audience can expect: gripping dynamic arcs of tension. From intimate, fragile moments to eruptive choruses. A setlist of new material and career highlights

A voice that made history

Tarja is one of the most influential voices in the symphonic and heavy metal world. As a classically trained soprano, she fused operatic technique with metal, defining a completely new sound that continues to influence generations of artists to this day.

Tarja achieved international fame as a founding member and voice of Nightwish. With iconic albums and worldwide tours, she shaped an entire era of symphonic metal and laid the foundation for a career that is still extraordinary today.

After her successful solo career, Tarja continued to develop her style, crossing genre boundaries and establishing herself as one of the most charismatic and versatile artists on the scene.

Gold and platinum awards, sold-out tours and a global fanbase impressively underline her status.
