Up In Neon Lights With VILLE VALO

Interview by Erin Eddy
Finnish gothic rock legend Ville Valo is gearing up for an electrifying return to the Australian and New Zealand stages after a decade-long hiatus. With his debut solo album Neon Noir still reverberating through the music scene, Valo took some time to chat with HEAVY Mag about his latest ventures and the eagerly awaited tour.
Valo delved into the creative process behind Neon Noir and how it feels to step into the spotlight as a solo artist. From the haunting melodies to the introspective lyrics, the album is a testament to Valo's musical evolution and his ability to captivate audiences with his distinctive style.
Valo's upcoming tour marks his first visit to Australia in a decade, promising fans an unforgettable live experience. From Auckland to Brisbane, Valo will be enchanting audiences with a mix of solo tracks and beloved HIM classics, showcasing his unparalleled vocal range and magnetic stage presence.
But before hitting the road, HEAVY Mag put Valo to the test, challenging him to decipher some Aussie slang. From "servo" to "esky", Valo's reactions were as entertaining as they were endearing, proving that even a Finnish rock god can appreciate the charm of Down Under.
So, whether you're a die-hard fan or simply curious to witness Valo's magic first hand, be sure to grab your tickets now for what promises to be an unforgettable tour. Don't miss out on the chance to experience the dark allure of Ville Valo live in concert!
