After four long years off the global stage, Evanescence is roaring back with a world tour that already feels like a once-in-a-generation event. This isnât just a comebackâitâs a revival, a reinvention, and a bold new chapter for a band that defined a generation while continuing to evolve for the next. And theyâre not coming alone.
For their 2026 world tour, Evanescence is bringing some of the boldest, most innovative names in modern rock and alt-metal: Spiritbox, Nova Twins, Poppy, and K.Flay. Itâs a lineup that blends genres, breaks boundaries, and promises a live experience unlike anything fans have seen before.
Kicking off June 11th in West Palm Beach, Florida, and wrapping up October 26th at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this is more than a tourâitâs a movement.
A Tour Born From Creativity, Collaboration & Fire
According to frontwoman Amy Lee, 2024 and 2025 were transformative years. They werenât just about touring or releasing musicâthey were about rediscovery.
In her own words:
âThis year has been so inspiring in so many ways â creating so much new music, playing some bucket-list shows and working with so many artists that give us life. We are taking all of that fire and energy and inspiration and building it into an epic 2026 for our fans.â
What stands out is that this tour didnât come from corporate scheduling or management meetings. It came from collaboration. It came from Amy Lee sharing studios, stages, and creative spaces with some of todayâs most exciting alt artists.
She continues:
âCollaborating with K.Flay, Poppy and Courtney Le Plante made me want to create a world where we could share stages together, and Iâm thrilled we are going to make it happen! I canât wait to share what weâve been working on, and I canât wait for this incredible tour.â
Those arenât just kind wordsâtheyâre a mission statement.
This tour is designed to be a shared universe of sound. A space where different styles collide. Where the gothic rock roots of Evanescence meet the futuristic metal of Spiritbox, the electric riot-grrl energy of Nova Twins, the experimental edge of Poppy, and the genre-defying creativity of K.Flay.
In an era where live shows can often feel predictable, Evanescence is doing the oppositeâtheyâre building something cinematic, theatrical, and fresh.
