Evanescence Announces Massive 2026 World Tour with All-Female-Fronted Support Lineup

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, Evanescence storms back with their first world headlining tour in four years in 2026, joined by an all-female-fronted powerhouse lineup of Spiritbox, Poppy, K.Flay, and Nova Twins, ahead of a massive new album.

Evanescence

Evanescence is coming back swinging. After a powerhouse 2025 that saw them share stadium stages with Metallica, open for My Chemical Romance and Halsey, and drop two ferocious standalone singles, Amy Lee and company have just unveiled their most ambitious headlining trek in years: a five-month world tour kicking off June 11, 2026 and running through late October.

The run will take the band across the United States and Canada before crossing the Atlantic for a full European leg, culminating in a triumphant homecoming show at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado – a bucket-list venue the band has long circled.

Female Fronted Support

What’s making this tour extra special is the stacked, women-fronted support package. Spiritbox, Poppy, K.Flay, and Nova Twins will rotate as openers on select dates, creating one of the heaviest and most diverse all-female-fronted bills in recent memory. Evanescence has previously collaborated with Spiritbox (on the 2023 remix of “Make Me Feel Like a God”), Poppy (2020’s “Use My Voice” feature), and K.Flay (2021’s “Yeah Right” remix), while Nova Twins mark the only act on the bill without a prior link-up – though Amy Lee has repeatedly praised the UK duo in interviews.

“This lineup is a dream,” Lee said in a statement. “These are some of the most fearless, creative, and powerful women making heavy music right now. We can’t wait to share the stage with them every night.”

Evanescence

The tour announcement caps off a banner 2025 for Evanescence. The band spent the summer crushing stadiums alongside Metallica on the North American leg of the M72 World Tour, delivered explosive festival sets, and released two standalone singles – the defiant anthem “Fight Like a Girl” and the haunting, synth-laced “Afterlife” – both of which have racked up millions of streams and reignited fan excitement.

Most importantly, the band has officially begun teasing their fifth studio album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2021’s The Bitter Truth. While no title or exact release date has been confirmed, Lee has described the new material as “some of the heaviest and most emotional music we’ve ever written.” Recording sessions have been ongoing throughout 2025, with the record now slated for a 2026 release – perfectly timed to coincide with the world tour.

Full tour routing and openers for each date are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks, with VIP packages and pre-sales starting as early as next week. General on-sale begins Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time.

After four years away from the headlining spotlight, Evanescence isn’t just returning – they’re reclaiming the throne, and they’re bringing some of the best in the game with them. 2026 is about to belong to the queens of gothic metal.
