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, and will head to Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America in 2027.
