Breaking News: Floor Jansen Announces 2025 World Tour — Dates and Cities Revealed**
It’s official: the queen of symphonic metal, Floor Jansen, is hitting the road in 2025—and fans across the globe couldn’t be more thrilled. Known for her powerhouse vocals as the frontwoman of Nightwish and her soaring solo performances, Jansen has just unveiled the dates and cities for her upcoming world tour. From headlining major festivals to intimate theater shows, this promises to be one of her most personal and electrifying tours yet.
The tour kicks off this summer with a series of epic festival appearances across Europe. On July 11, Floor will ignite the stage at Rockwave Festival in Athens, Greece, before heading to the Masters of Rock in the Czech Republic and Midalidare Rock in Bulgaria. She’ll also be making highly anticipated appearances at Kuopiorock in Finland and the iconic Wacken Open Air in Germany. These performances will showcase her symphonic metal roots with the kind of stage energy fans have come to expect from her.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. This fall, Floor will embark on a unique and deeply personal theater tour across the Netherlands, titled Strijdlust, which translates to “Fighting Spirit.” Running through September and October, the tour will blend music and spoken word as she opens up about her experiences with motherhood, her battle with breast cancer, and her extraordinary career. Unlike her festival appearances, these shows will be performed entirely in Dutch and offer a more intimate atmosphere.
Here’s a look at some of the confirmed dates:
- July 11 – Rockwave Festival, Athens, Greece
- July 12 – Masters of Rock, Vizovice, Czech Republic
- July 13 – Midalidare Rock, Mogilovo, Bulgaria
- July 26 – Kuopiorock, Kuopio, Finland
- August 2 – Wacken Open Air, Germany
- Sept 24 – Groningen, NL (De Oosterpoort)
- Oct 2 – Amsterdam, NL (Koninklijk Theater Carré)
- Oct 18 – Haarlem, NL (Philharmonie), and many more.
With some dates already selling out, tickets are in high demand. Whether you’re planning to see her at a massive festival or a cozy Dutch theater, you’ll want to grab your seats quickly. For a full list of dates and ticket links, head over to Floor Jansen’s official website.
What makes this tour especially meaningful is Floor’s triumphant return to the stage following her battle with breast cancer. She announced she was cancer-free in late 2022, and the Strijdlust tour is a reflection of her strength and resilience. Expect raw emotion, powerful storytelling, and music that resonates on a deeply human level.
This tour also builds on the success of her debut solo album Paragon, released in 2023. The album marked a bold step beyond her symphonic roots, exploring pop, rock, and cinematic elements that showcased her versatility. The upcoming tour will likely include fan favorites from Paragon along with new interpretations of classic tracks.
Floor Jansen’s 2025 world tour isn’t just a series of concerts—it’s a celebration of life, survival, and artistic evolution. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering her solo work for the first time, this is a tour you won’t want to miss.
