The Magic of the Past Meets the Power of the Present
Tarja Turunen and Marko Hietala, two iconic figures in the symphonic and operatic metal scene, are set to deliver an unforgettable performance in Lisbon. Their reunion on stage promises to captivate fans with a blend of nostalgia and new energy.
Mark your calendars for January 29, 2026, when this highly anticipated event will take place at the Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon. Following a triumphant tour across South America in 2024 and a series of sold-out shows in 2025, the Finnish duo is continuing their collaborative journey with an extensive European tour in 2026.
This marks their first shared stage appearance in 18 years, since the Living The Dream – The Hits Tour 2024, which created memorable moments for fans worldwide. As former members of NIGHTWISH, their reunion not only celebrates a past filled with hit songs but also paves the way for a promising future. The release of their duet single "Left On Mars" has been met with enthusiastic reception, fueling excitement for more performances.
Tarja Turunen, renowned as the Queen of symphonic metal/rock, is Finland's most internationally acclaimed solo artist in this genre. A soprano, composer, and exceptional performer, she gained global fame as a co-founder and iconic voice of Nightwish, earning Gold and Platinum discs in various countries. In 2024, she released her first greatest hits album, "Best of Tarja – Living The Dream", featuring remastered tracks from acclaimed albums like "My Winter Storm" and "In the Raw", culminating with the powerful single "Eye Of The Storm".
Marko Hietala, a key figure in what many consider Nightwish's golden era, brings his own legacy and undeniable talent. In addition to joining Tarja for this nostalgic and emotional event, he will showcase his latest solo release, "Roses From The Deep", with his own band. This album, released on February 7, reveals a deeper side of the Finnish artist, making these concerts with Tarja magical and unmissable.
What can fans expect in 2026? More classics? New songs? The answers will unfold on January 29, 2026, but the reunion continues to generate high expectations. The undeniable chemistry between the two and a setlist packed with classics and potential surprises ensure a unique opportunity to witness these symphonic metal icons creating new memories for their devoted followers.
