NIGHTWISH frontwoman Floor Jansen will return to Europe's club stages in early 2027 for a headlining solo run she has christened the "Hytress" tour. The nine-date trek, set for January and February, will see the Dutch singer perform new material backed by her full live band.
"I'm heading back out on tour in Europe!" Jansen said in announcing the dates. "In 2027, I'll be returning to club stages across Europe with my 'Hytress' tour, together with my full live band." The intimate venues mark a deliberate contrast to the arenas and festival stages she commands with NIGHTWISH, offering fans a closer look at her solo work.
The confirmed itinerary runs as follows: January 14 in Antwerp, Belgium (Trix); January 15 in Paris, France (Bataclan); January 16 in London, U.K. (Electric Brixton); January 22 in Pratteln, Switzerland (Konzertfabrik Z7); January 27 in Prague, Czech Republic (ROXY); January 29 in Warsaw, Poland (Progresja); February 4 in Gothenburg, Sweden (Pustervik); February 5 in Stockholm, Sweden (Nalen); and February 13 in Tilburg, Netherlands (013).
The tour arrives as Jansen pushes her solo career in a heavier, darker direction. Her latest single, "Run," released in June 2026 and produced by Gordon Groothedde, leans into themes of liberation and self-empowerment with a markedly weightier sound than much of her earlier solo output. It follows her 2023 debut album "Paragon," part of a solo catalog that has now amassed close to 150 million streams.
Jansen has fronted NIGHTWISH since 2012, having joined mid-tour to replace Anette Olzon before quickly becoming one of symphonic metal's most acclaimed vocalists. With the Finnish band currently between major touring cycles, the "Hytress" run gives her the room to step out front on her own terms — and gives European fans a rare chance to catch her in rooms a fraction the size of a NIGHTWISH show.
