FLOOR JANSEN

Floor Jansen's solo career was born from the Dutch singer's desire to explore new musical possibilities beyond the symphonic metal universe that brought her worldwide acclaim with Nightwish. Although she began performing solo shows in 2020, it was during the pandemic that Floor started developing her own compositions aimed at a more accessible sound, blending elements of pop, rock, and contemporary music without sacrificing the vocal power that made her one of the most respected voices in the genre.
The first chapter of this journey took shape with the release of the singles "Fire", "Storm", "Me Without You", and "Invincible", which preceded the arrival of Paragon, her solo debut released in March 2023. The album showcased a more personal side of the singer, featuring songs filled with emotion and reflections on growth, resilience, and self-discovery. The record revealed an artist willing to step out of her comfort zone and expand her reach beyond the traditional metal audience.
Since then, Floor has been balancing her solo career with her activities in Nightwish, performing her own shows and participating in major festivals, such as the upcoming Bangers Open Air 2027. In her concerts, she typically combines songs from Paragon with classics from her previous eras in bands like After Forever, ReVamp, and Nightwish, creating a setlist that spans her entire artistic journey.
The future of Floor Jansen's solo career points toward a heavier direction. In recent statements and performances throughout 2026, the singer revealed that the successor to Paragon is expected to lean back into her metal roots, incorporating more aggressive elements closer to the style that defined her time with After Forever and ReVamp. Fans anticipate that this new phase will merge the experience she gained in Nightwish with the creative freedom achieved on her solo journey, further expanding the reach of an artist who continues to reinvent her own story.
