DREAMY DUO

The sensation is perfect: Under the motto "Living The Dream - Together," Tarja Turunen and Marko Hietala are going on tour together for the first time in 19 years after their time together in Nightwish. For die-hard fans, there is a full package: Tarja will present her Greatest Hits, and Marko will review his own compositions. As if that weren't fantastic enough, there will also be a set with the Finnish power duo performing a duet.

It all began in the summer of 2023 in Pratteln! Fans were thrilled when Tarja Turunen and Marko Hietala stood together on stage for the first time in 18 years at the Z7 Summer Nights Open Air. It was a magical night - and many fans probably shed a tear when the two started singing "The Phantom Of The Opera." It was an especially emotional moment for the protagonists, who embraced each other intimately after the shared song. When Tarja whispered into the microphone, "We have more surprises in store for you in the future," hopes were finally ignited. And now the time has come. Just a few days after Tarja finished an extensive and successful tour in South America, she announced on her website the joyful news that she will be going on tour with Marko Hietala for the first time since 2005.

They had once released successful albums together with Nightwish and embarked on several acclaimed world tours. Now, they will finally perform together night after night as part of Tarja's "Living The Dream - The Hits" tour under the motto "Living The Dream - Together." Tarja will present a selection of songs that can also be found on her "Best Of" album, including fan favorites and some of her personal favorite songs. Marko, along with his bandmate, the talented guitarist Tuomas Wäinolä, will perform his own songs. As the highlight of the evening, Tarja and Marko will finally stand together on stage. To further enhance the anticipation, the two recently released the duet "Left On Mars." Inspired by a story of love and longing, this ethereal ballad combines Marko's emotional lyrics and powerful riffs with Tarja's hauntingly beautiful vocals, creating a symphony that resonates deep within the soul.
