Nightwish was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen and lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sama Vänskä after the release of its debut album, Angels Fall First in 1997. In 2002, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over as the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen and guest singers.
The band achieved worldwide fame after releasing Oceanborn in 1998, Wishmaster in 2000 and Century Child in 2002. They sold over one million copies of ‘Once’ in 2004 and was the band’s breakthrough in the United States.
The band released its sixth album in September 2007 Fark Passion Play, selling almost 2 million copies.
On 1 October 2012, Nightwish announced parting ways with Olzon and would be finishing the tour with ReVamp and former After Forever vocalist floor Jansen. One year later, Nightwish made Jansen and longtime session uillean pipes player Troy Donockley permanent members of the band making Nightwish official a sextet.
The band’s latest album released in early 2016 “Endless Forms Most Beautiful” sold more than eight million records, receiving over 60 gold and platinum awards, having released five Number 1 albums and thirteen Number 1 singles.
