Tarja Turunen and Marko Hietala to perform 3 concerts together in Poland! The artists, known for their work in Nightwish, will perform on 1 March in Warsaw's Progresja, a day later in Krakow's Kwadrat and then in Wrocław's A2.
The brightest star of symphonic rock, Tarja Turunen is the most famous voice in the world of music coming from Finland. The Nightwish co-founder has enchanted the whole world with her soprano, and combining it with turn-of-the-century metal resulted in a new genre that has inspired many bands. In 2006, Tarja embarked on a solo career and has stuck to this path ever since. For nearly 20 years now, she has released a total of nine solo albums, on which she has taken both classical and rock directions.
Marko Hietala spent 2 decades in Nightwish, and parted ways with the band in 2021. During this time, the bassist and vocalist was still (with a small break) an important part of the Tarot line-up, working additionally with Delain or Amorphis, among others, until he finally decided to focus on his solo career. The result? The disc 'Pyre of Black Heart', the Finnish version of which was released in 2019 and the English-language version a year later. Marko continues his journey, and the best evidence of this is the track 'Left on Mars', recorded with Tarja, which saw the light of day in mid-March. We will definitely hear it at concerts in Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw, as well as tracks from Nightwish's repertoire performed together by the duo!
