Tarja returns in 2026 with renewed intensity and artistic determination. The "Frisson Live 2026" tour marks the beginning of a new artistic chapter - powerful, dynamic, and emotionally charged. Parallel to the tour, Tarja releases her brand new studio album, her first complete album in the harder sound spectrum in seven years.

About the Tour

The new tour stands for a production that plays with strong contrasts: between fragility and power, between cinematic atmosphere and uncompromising metal energy. This is not a retrospective. This is forward motion. "Frisson" describes that moment when music gives you goosebumps, when emotions hit unexpectedly, and when energy runs through your entire body.

Audiences can expect: compelling dynamic arcs ranging from intimate, fragile moments to eruptive choruses, featuring a setlist of new material and career highlights.
