TARJA TURUNEN - "Back In Suomi!"
July 6, 2009, 15 years ago
TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) has issued the following update:
"We are now having a little break between the summer shows. The band members are having their other engagements and I am doing a lot of promotion for the future shows.I am very happy with the shows we did together so far and I am sure there will be many surprises for us in the near future. It has been a nice challenge to start the festivals season for the first time in my solo career and the reception has been very good so far.
It was wonderful to visit Spain and Italy for the metal festivals. The audience in both festivals was very hot, as expected
I also got a chance to meet many wonderful people in those days from such different bands as BLIND GUARDIAN, LACUNA COIL, QUEENSRŸCHE, APOCALYPTICA, EPICA and TWISTED SISTER. And among them I also met lady DORO PESCH.
We got to end the first leg of the tour in Pratteln with a sold out concert. Best way to end it !
The house liked my show that much that we were invited to sing there again in September! I had quite a few memories from that place already and it was good to return on my own and to see the difference. I was truly happy to receive good feedback from my show.
So, see you next time in Vaasa, Finland! I am so excited about my only rock show in my home country. I don’t remember if I have even visited Vaasa before, so it will be great to rock the city and the Finns.
With love, Tarja."
