TARJA<\/h1>

Frisson Tour 2027<\/h4>

The thrill of the iconic voice that has left its mark on symphonic metal<\/strong><\/p>

Saturday, 20 March 2027
<\/strong>Principal Club Theater, Thessaloniki<\/strong><\/p>

There are voices you recognize from the very first notes. Voices that captivate you with their power, sweep you away with their dramatic intensity, and can evoke that inexplicable shiver that runs through your body when music touches something deeper within us.<\/p>

Tarja is one such voice.<\/p>

In March 2027, Tarja Turunen, one of the most recognizable figures on the contemporary metal scene, comes to Greece for two concerts: on Friday, 19 March 2027, at Gagarin 205 in Athens, and on Saturday, 20 March, at Principal Club Theater in Thessaloniki. Bringing her new album, *Frisson Noir*, along with songs that have defined her career and won the hearts of her fans, Tarja promises two concerts filled with the grandeur, emotion, and power of symphonic metal.<\/p>

Seven years after 2019’s *In the Raw*, Tarja released *Frisson Noir* in June 2026, an album that brings together the contrasts that define her musical identity. Cinematic arrangements, choirs, powerful guitar passages, and piano interludes create a multilayered sonic universe, with Tarja’s voice at its center: from fragile sensitivity to commanding operatic power, it remains the element that unites the album’s diverse musical dimensions.<\/p>

The album features Marko Hietala, her former bandmate in Nightwish, Apocalyptica, Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth, and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album is produced by Tarja and Mic, while the mixing was handled by Grammy Award-winning Neal Avron, known for his work with Linkin Park, Skillet, and Disturbed.<\/p>

As a co-founder, vocalist, and iconic presence in Nightwish for nine years, she played a pivotal role in shaping a sound that brought the classically trained soprano voice to the forefront of metal music. Songs such as *Nemo*, *Wishmaster*, *Sleeping Sun*, *Deep Silent Complete*, and *Stargazers* remain closely associated with that era and with the distinctive vocal style that brought her international recognition.<\/p>

In 2007, with *My Winter Storm*, Tarja officially embarked on her solo career. This was followed by *What Lies Beneath*, *Colours in the Dark*, *The Brightest Void*, *The Shadow Self*, and *In the Raw*\u2014albums that further developed the meeting point between her classical training and the diverse expressions of heavy music.<\/p>

With more than 1,000 concerts around the world, from small stages to major festivals, and collaborations with artists such as Within Temptation, the Scorpions, Mike Oldfield, Doro Pesch, and Marko Hietala, Tarja has forged a career that transcends the boundaries of any single musical genre.<\/p>

In March 2027, Tarja returns to Greece with *Frisson Noir*, as well as songs that defined an entire era of symphonic metal and continue to move audiences around the world.<\/p>

Because some voices are not simply heard. They run through you, stay with you, and return to your memory long after the final note. And there, somewhere between sound and emotion, *frisson* is born.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
