Marko Hietala and Tarja Turunen, the two former members of Nightwish most beloved by the public, have taken their collaboration to a new level by announcing a european tour joint in 2024 which, for the moment, will not go through Spain.
The European tour, which will begin in September in Germany, promises to be an unforgettable experience as these two familiar voices reunite on stage again.
Tarja recently released her first greatest hits album “Best Of Tarja – Living The Dream”. Her live show will feature a selection of songs from her career, also found on “Best Of.” And the vocal duo recently released the collaborative track “Left On Mars,” which received widespread acclaim.

In a recent interview with Hietala in El Planeta Del Rock if there was any possibility that he and Turunen would launch a new project together. He responded: «I do not rule out that option. We haven’t talked about forming a group together or anything like that. But right now, it seems like we have a different connection than we had before. Because then the sides were already really divided when I entered Nightwish. And it was difficult to find the truth of things, because a lot of it was like a turf war between managements where they told us certain things on one side and certain things on the other side and a lot of confusion — blah, blah, blah — and in the end , yes, what we already realized a few years ago when we were all together there doing the Christmas shows in Finland is that after all, you discover that you lost a friend. And that was the main reason why we’re basically doing this together again.”
