WOA 25: Floor Jansen

When Floor Jansen takes to the stage, a rare moment of absolute presence is created. Even before the first note is played, there is tension in the air. Known as the exceptional voice of Nightwish, she has also carved out a permanent place for herself in the music world outside of the band with her solo debut ‘Paragon’ and songs such as “Fire” and ‘Storm’. Her voice combines power and grace, opera and rock, vulnerability and determination; it is an instrument that transforms emotions into sound and then back into emotions again. At Holy Ground, she will bring this versatility to the stage solo for the first time: a performance that will be personal and intense, carried by musical class and a stage presence that leaves no one cold. Anyone who experiences her live will immediately sense that this is not just a singer, but a whole story being played out in music.
