Tarja Turunen has announced that she’ll release the follow-up to her 2012 debut live album Act I: Live In Rosario this summer.

Simply titled Act II, it will launch on July 27 via earMUSIC on 2CD digipak, 3LP, DVD, Blu-ray, limited edition mediabook 2CD/2Blu-ray and on digital formats.

The release will be split into two chapters, with the first, Metropolis Alive, filmed two months prior to the release of Tarja’s 2016 album The Shadow Self at London’s Metropolis Studios.

The second chapter was captured on November 29, 2016, at Milan’s Teatro della Luna Allago, and features tracks from all four of Tarja’s solo albums, including Innocence, Die Alive, Until My Last Breath and a cover of Muse track Supremacy.

The Blu-ray package will also feature two full live shows filmed at Hellfest in France and Poland’s Woodstock Festival.
