Thu, January 29, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Coliseu dos Recreios
The tour of Tarja & Marko Hietala is: "Living The Dream Together Tour 2026".
This was my first time I saw Tarja live as the main act. I saw her in 2024/11/25 & 26 when she was a guest of Within temptation 2 times. She only sang 3 songs at each of those 2 shows. I never saw Nightwish before. Was always a dream to see that band when Tarja was there.
I arrived at Coliseu dos Recreios at 06:30 am. It was raining.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. At 13:00 the main doors of Coliseu opened and we got in to do the queues inside.
Scheduled times next.
18:00 Doors open
19:00 Show was scheduled to start "Serpentyne"
19:40 Show was scheduled to start "Rok Ali and the Addiction"
20:30 Show was scheduled to start "Marko Hietala"
21:55 Show was scheduled to start "Tarja"
23:39 Show ends
At 18:10 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then I started running inside the arena. I went up 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my right the main stage. Already a few people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early, around 10 people). I went to the right side.
We had 3 bands playing before Tarja.

Finally was time for Tarja. She started at 21:57 and played 100 minutes. Played a set of 18 songs.
Key Historical Context:
Nightwish (1996–2005): Tarja was the original vocalist for Nightwish, alongside founders Tuomas Holopainen and Emppu Vuorinen.
Collaboration: She has recently reunited with former Nightwish bassist Marko Hietala for live performances.
It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. First time I saw Tarja live as the main act.
She sang many of her solo songs and even a few of Nightwish. So cool to see Marko singing with Tarja a few songs.
