When two of symphonic metal’s most commanding voices share the same stage, history isn’t just revisited — it’s reborn. Floor Jansen and Tarja Turunen have officially announced the “Queens of Valkyrie Tour,” a monumental 2026 collaboration that promises power, elegance, and pure operatic fire. For years, fans have dreamed of witnessing these two titans unite for a full-scale world tour, and now that dream is becoming a thunderous reality.
The Queens of Valkyrie Tour is set to be more than a concert — it’s a celebration of symphonic metal’s evolution. With sweeping orchestral arrangements, cinematic stage production, and a setlist expected to blend solo masterpieces with beloved classics from their eras in Nightwish, audiences can anticipate soaring duets, dramatic reinterpretations, and spine-tingling high notes that echo long after the final encore. Industry insiders are already calling it one of the most anticipated rock tours of the decade.
Fans can expect an immersive visual spectacle worthy of its mythic name. Inspired by Nordic legends and warrior-queen imagery, the production will reportedly feature grand symphonic backdrops, elaborate costumes, and a live orchestra in select cities. Both singers have hinted at exclusive collaborative tracks performed live for the first time, making each night feel historic and unrepeatable.
The Queens of Valkyrie Tour will sweep across major cities including Helsinki, Stockholm, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, São Paulo, and Tokyo, with the European leg launching on March 12, 2026 in Helsinki and the North American dates beginning May 8, 2026 in New York before concluding in Tokyo on September 26, 2026. Tickets are expected to sell rapidly as fans worldwide prepare to witness two legendary voices reign side by side in what is shaping up to be 2026’s most breathtaking symphonic metal event.
