Tarja

Description

NEW ALBUM OF THE SYMPHONIC METAL QUEEN Finland's most popular soprano voice, Tarja Turunen, returns to Z7 with brand-new material. After two celebrated "Living The Dream" greatest hits shows, which looked back on her successful career, we are excited to welcome the iconic metal singer back in October with her new album. The last three years, Tarja Turunen has been on her "Living The Dream" greatest hits tours. Sometimes solo, sometimes together with her old Nightwish companion Marko Hietala. In between, she was a guest at "Rock Meets Classics" and gave atmospheric Christmas concerts. But now, the time has come for the next chapter in the singer's career. After seven long years, a new studio album by Tarja will be released in spring 2026. In autumn, the big album release tour will follow, which will bring the musician to Z7 on October 9 with her new material. As a soprano, composer, songwriter, co-founder, voice, and face of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen has significantly shaped the genre of symphonic metal for nine years. During this time, she was rewarded with numerous gold and platinum awards and crowned the queen of the genre. After leaving the band, Tarja started a successful solo career, resulting in six metal albums so far, as well as several classical works and live releases. Her extraordinary abilities also led Tarja to fantastic collaborations. Among others, she performed with shock rock legend Alice Cooper, the symphonic band Within Temptation, the German electronic artist Schiller, metal queen Doro Pesch, and the British "Father of Tubular Bells" Mike Oldfield. The unique combination of Tarja's classical and rock influences is still most beautifully reflected in her solo releases. We look forward to album number seven and another fantastic night of symphonic metal at Z7. Participants: Tarja, Symphonity, SKYS
