Marko Hietala brings Finnish metal sound to Munich
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Marko Hietala returns to the stage as part of his European Tour 2026. In the Backstage Halle Munich, the Finnish singer and bassist combines his distinctive voice with powerful heavy metal, emotional melodies, and the intense live atmosphere of a traditional concert evening.
A voice between metal anthem and personal depth
As a bassist and singer of Nightwish, Marko Hietala shaped an important era of symphonic metal. From 2001 to 2021, he was part of the successful Finnish band and was involved in albums such as Century Child, Once, Dark Passion Play, Imaginaerum, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, and Human. :II: Nature. His rough, expressive voice formed a striking contrast to the orchestral soundscapes of the band.
Solo concert with character and musical experience
Even solo, Hietala relies on a unique connection of hard rock, heavy metal, and personal lyrics. His solo discography includes Mustan sydämen rovio, the English version Pyre of the Black Heart, as well as the album Roses from the Deep from 2025. In addition to his work with Nightwish and Tarot, Hietala has been involved in projects such as Northern Kings, Sinergy, Delain, and Amorphis.
His long-standing experience as a singer, bassist, composer, arranger, and sound engineer shapes the stage performance. Precise synchronization between the rhythm section and vocals, powerful sound, and melodic tension arcs meet the direct energy of a club concert.
