Evanescence have announced the dates for their upcoming 2026 world tour, which will see the alternative metal outfit hitting stages across North America, Europe and the UK. Support will vary by date, with Spiritbox, Nova Twins, Poppy and K.Flay among the openers. Evanescence‘s Amy Lee has previously collaborated with all of the above artists (see “End Of You” and “Fight Like A Girl“) sans The Nova Twins.
Evanescence gave the exclusive reveal of this new tour to Rolling Stone, with vocalist Amy Lee also giving the aforementioned publication a new interview. Describing this trek, she stated:
“It’s going to be a blast. I got all my ladies in. I have an excellent band beside me. When we go out on tour, we have fun together and challenge each other to be the best that we can be. It’s taken time to grow and build and change into that band. I definitely have more energy about everything Evanescence than I did 10 years ago. Because of that, we fuel each other. So I am very excited about the tour.
I’m very excited to be touring with such amazing women and bands. It’s going to be awesome. This has been a big year for me and for the band, when it comes to collaborations and working with people. I’ve loved working with Poppy and Courtney (LaPlante) on the ‘End of You‘. We still haven’t gotten to do it live yet. I’m hoping that comes out of this at some point. Same goes for our song with K. Flay, ‘Fight Like a Girl‘. I just kind of want to bring all of us together as much as I can and bring it to life on the stage.
I haven’t worked with Nova Twins but I’m a fan of them. We’ve done festivals together in the past couple of years and seeing them really inspired me. Everything that [bassist Georgia South] turns the bass into is phenomenal. Emma [Anzai, Evanescence’s bassist] and I will go stand side stage and just be like, “What is she doing right there? Figure out what that is. Go ask her after.”
Lee also touched on Evanescence‘s upcoming sixth studio album, which it seems will arrive ahead of this tour sometime in early 2026. She sated of it:
“It’s this massive body of work that we’ve been working on for a couple of years now. A lot of it’s recorded, some of it’s done and there’s lyrics left on a lot of songs where I have to find that perfect thing to say. Words are always important, but they feel particularly important right now as an artist in the world in our state of turmoil. It feels like an opportunity to put something good into the world, even if it’s just a way for people to relate, to speak about what’s true, and let it out. We need release. I need release.”
When pressed for a release date, she responded:
“It’ll be out early next year. I haven’t set a date because that’ll mess me up. I have to finish the words and the recording of the vocals, but we’re close and I’m very excited. Once that’s done, my head is going to be all about the tour.”
She went on to say how the album has some similarities in approach to the group’s 2003 diamond-certified debut album “Fallen“:
“I’m feeling some of the same inspiration level and love I felt when I was making ‘Fallen‘ , but we’re different now. We’re better. The perspective of being able to see the past, present, and imagine the future all at the same time, has a different depth. I’ve been working with people that are about 10 years younger than me, and were inspired by ‘Fallen‘ and see it in a way that I couldn’t. There are certain pieces of us that I’m able to recognize again and look at with an out-of-body kind of love, which is helping us create something really special.”
