Last week, GRAMMY® Award-winning rock band Evanescence kicked off the North American leg of their Evanescence 2026 World Tour, Live Nation’s top-selling summer rock tour, with an unforgettable show in West Palm Beach, Florida featuring stunning, state-of-the art production. The show in Tampa this past Saturday reached a monumental milestone for the band as over 16,000 fans gathered for the band’s largest-ever North American headline performance.
This is Evanescence’s first world tour in 3 years, and they are returning better than ever. Special guest Spiritbox and Nova Twins are opening the North American portion of the tour, and special guest Poppy will support on the UK & Europe shows with Nova Twins opening outside the UK. K.Flay, who is featured on Evanescence’s end title song from Ballerina, “Fight Like A Girl,” will open the UK shows. Evanescence has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1/£1/€1 from every ticket sold will support organizations providing humanitarian aid and medical relief to those in need around the world. Additionally, Head Count, a non-profit/non-partisan entity will be on site at most of the band’s US concerts to register new voters and to instruct previously-registered voters how to check their registration status to ensure it is still valid.
The 52-date tour features stops at some of the biggest arenas in North America including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The Evanescence 2026 World Tour will also continue in the fall with stops in the UK, Europe, Malaysia, and Japan.
Earlier this month, Evanescence released their highly anticipated sixth studio album Sanctuary — listen here/order here. The record debuted at #2 on the Billboard US Hard Rock Albums Chart, #10 in the UK and #1 on the Official UK Rock & Metal Albums chart, #5 in Germany, #5 in New Zealand, and #2 in Australia. Of the album, KERRANG heralds their “reputation for quality over quantity in cinematically dramatic style” while METAL HAMMER declares it as their “most vital record in years.” The album includes “Afterlife” — the multi-week #1 rock song featured in Netflix’s breakout animated series Devil May Cry — alongside “Who Will You Follow,” which recently earned the band their first-ever #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Song Chart. The track “Who Will You Follow” currently holds the #1 position on Mediabase’s Active Rock Radio Chart, Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart and Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart, which marks second chart-topping rock radio single from the LP, further cementing Amy Lee’s current dominance with her third #1 at US rock radio in under a year. This follows the success of “End of You,” her high-profile collaboration with Poppy and Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante, which also topped the Active Rock Radio Chart late last year.

About Evanescence
When Evanescence stormed onto the scene in the early 2000s, they introduced a sound that captured the world’s attention. Their debut album Fallen became one of the most critically and commercially successful releases of the 21st century, earning two Grammy Awards and achieving diamond certification in the United States. Hit singles “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal” propelled the band into the spotlight, while 2006’s follow-up, The Open Door, deepened an unwavering connection with fans.
Two decades later, that connection remains as strong as ever. In 2025, Evanescence reached a new career milestone, scoring their first #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Afterlife,” written for Netflix’s Devil May Cry. The band continued its momentum, with collaborations alongside K.Flay and Halsey featured in Ballerina, the fifth installment in the John Wick series. Amy scored another #1 with “End of You,” her collaboration with Poppy & Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox.
In early June, the band will embark on its World Tour, headlining amphitheaters, and arenas in North America, followed by an arena tour in the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand and is expected to continue on to Central and South America in 2027. “2025 was a year of saying ‘yes.’ We got really busy, and I’m so glad for every single piece of it,” says frontwoman Amy Lee. “There’s no way 2026 won’t be even crazier.” With the release of Evanescence’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Sanctuary, on June 5, that prediction is poised to come true.
