Tarja – Circus Life 2025

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen will release a new live album and Blu-ray, “Circus Life”, on May 16 via earMUSIC. Recorded in January 2020, in Bucharest, Romania, the “Circus Life” show was one of a kind when Tarja performed in this very special “in the round” format.

The concert consisted of two hours of powerful music, featuring a setlist that spans Tarja’s career, including all of her greatest hits such as “I Walk Alone”, “Until My Last Breath” and “Innocence”, as well as fan favorites like “Victim Of Ritual” and “Demons In You”, showcasing her evolution as an artist.

Featuring 16 accomplished musicians, including Tarja’s brother Toni and a diverse ensemble from various stages of her career, it was an extraordinary event. All songs were provided with new arrangements just for this concert, making the show a unique experience for the longtime Tarja fan, as well as the first-time listener. “Circus Life” was recorded in one take, 100% live — no re-recordings, no overdubs, no special effects. Just pure, raw music.

Originally included as bonus content in the strictly limited and sold-out mediabook and box set of Tarja’s 2022 “Best Of: Living The Dream”, the “Circus Life” concert is now made available as standalone limited 2CD+Blu-ray digipak, featuring the two-hour live show on audio and video, and as limited black 3LP gatefold, including a LP-sized booklet and Blu-ray softcase.
