Amy Lee and Evanescence have officially confirmed their monumental 2026 Anniversary Tour, marking an extraordinary 31 years since the band first carved its place into the world of rock and symphonic metal. This announcement arrives with a wave of nostalgia, excitement, and deep emotional resonance for fans who have followed their transformative journey from underground beginnings to global acclaim. The tour promises to be one of the band’s most ambitious productions yet, focusing on the full span of their iconic legacy.
The band expressed that this tour is more than a series of performances—it’s a tribute to every era that shaped them. From the haunting elegance of Fallen to the raw emotional power of The Bitter Truth, the tour will revisit the sounds, visuals, and memories that defined generations. Amy Lee described the upcoming shows as “a celebration of a lifetime of music, evolution, and the fans who kept the fire burning through every chapter.”
The 2026 Anniversary Tour will also introduce updated live arrangements of classic songs, immersive theatrical stage design, and an enhanced orchestral presence—an evolution that mirrors the band’s growth over three decades. Longtime fans can expect powerful reinterpretations of songs like “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” “Lithium,” “Going Under,” and “Call Me When You’re Sober,” as well as deeper cuts that haven’t been performed in years.
In addition to the music, Evanescence has prepared unique visual installations inspired by each album cycle, blending gothic art, symbolic imagery, and modern cinematic lighting. Every show will take the audience on a chronological emotional journey, highlighting the band’s evolution while staying true to the dramatic essence that made them unforgettable.
Amy Lee emphasized the importance of reconnecting with fans worldwide, reflecting on the many years of shared experiences: “This tour is for everyone who grew up with us, healed with us, and found themselves in our music. It’s for the people who believed in what we created—even in the moments when we had to rebuild.” Her words underscore the personal tone surrounding the anniversary’s significance.
The tour will begin in North America, followed by Europe, Asia, and select dates in South America. Each city has been chosen intentionally to reflect places that played a key role in the band’s milestones through the years. Fans can expect intimate moments, powerful vocals, masterful instrumentation, and a sense of unity that only Evanescence can deliver.
