Tarja returns to the heavy metal stage with full force in 2026. „Frisson Live 2026“ marks the beginning of a new artistic chapter – powerful, dynamic, and emotionally charged.
Parallel to the tour, Tarja will release her brand new studio album – her first full album in the harder sound spectrum in seven years. With new energy and artistic determination, she continues the sonic intensity that has significantly shaped her career.
Seven years after her last full studio album in the harder sound spectrum, Tarja is stepping back into the spotlight with renewed intensity. The new tour stands for a production that focuses on strong contrasts: between fragility and power, between cinematic atmosphere and uncompromising metal energy.
This is not a retrospective.
This is forward movement.
„Frisson“ describes that moment when music gives you goosebumps. When emotions hit you unexpectedly. When energy rushes through your whole body. This feeling is at the heart of the tour.
The audience can expect: gripping, dynamic arcs of tension from intimate, fragile moments to eruptive choruses. A setlist of new material and career highlights.
