When Floor Jansen takes the stage, that rare moment of absolute presence arises. Tension fills the air even before the first note is played. Known as the exceptional voice of Nightwish, she has cemented a firm place in the music world outside of the band with her solo debut "Paragon" and songs like "Fire" and "Storm." Her voice combines power and grace, opera and rock, vulnerability and determination; it is an instrument that transforms emotions into sound and then back into emotions. Those who experience her live immediately sense that this isn't just a singer, but an entire story unfolding in music. Her setlist includes tracks by Nightwish and After Forever. Setlist: Wolf and Dog, ⁠Noise, ⁠Invincible, ⁠Storm, ⁠Spider Silk, ⁠Amaranth, ⁠Energize Me, ⁠7 Days to the Wolves, While Love Died, ⁠Face Your Demons, ⁠Nemo, ⁠Fire.
