Anette Olzon will return to European stages in the summer of 2026, marking her first tour across the continent since 2012. The tour will spotlight songs from the Nightwish albums "Dark Passion Play" and "Imaginaerum," which Olzon recorded during her tenure with the band.
This tour is notable for featuring the live European debut of several songs from those albums that were never performed live while Olzon was lead vocalist. Fans can expect a setlist filled with hits such as "Amaranth," "Bye Bye Beautiful," "Storytime," and "The Poet and the Pendulum."
Tickets are available through an exclusive pre-sale starting immediately, which includes a signed numbered postcard from Olzon for early buyers. Pre-sale runs through February 20, with general ticket sales opening on March 4 without pre-sale benefits.
The tour will visit multiple European cities including Helsinki, Oslo, Amsterdam, Milan, Athens, London, Madrid, and Paris, running from late July through August. This follows Olzon's recent live performances of the material during a special tour in Brazil last fall.
Olzon joined Nightwish in 2007 and recorded two studio albums before being dismissed in 2012. Since her departure, she has pursued other musical projects including The Dark Element and collaborations with Russell Allen, along with releasing solo albums.
