Evanescence has officially moved one step closer to the stage for their biggest year in nearly half a decade.
The 2000s rock band announced that tickets for all dates on their 2026 world tour are now on sale, signaling full momentum for their first worldwide headlining trek in four years.
The update came directly from the band, shared alongside a tour poster that fans have been eagerly waiting to see fully activated.
The tour, which runs from June through October 2026, will take Evanescence across North America and Europe, ending with a high-profile finale at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.

The ticket news follows a steady stream of strong moments for Evanescence, who spent much of 2025 building renewed energy around the band. They appeared on massive tours with Metallica, opened for major artists like My Chemical Romance and Halsey, and released new music that reminded fans why the group still holds a powerful place in modern rock. All of that has now led to a fully confirmed, fully on-sale global tour.
By the third wave of announcements, the focus became clear: fans can now lock in their spots. Evanescence shared a photo of the Spiritbox world tour poster with a clear message, writing, “Our show in Los Angeles is on sale now, which means all 2026 shows are officially on sale!”

The Los Angeles date, set for July 18 at the Kia Forum, was the final piece needed to complete the ticket rollout.
Evanescence 2026 World Tour
The 2026 tour officially kicks off on June 11 in West Palm Beach, Florida, before moving through major U.S. cities, Canada and then into the UK and Europe. Stops include New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and more. The final show on Oct. 26 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre adds a scenic and symbolic close to a tour that has been years in the making.
Supporting Evanescence on select dates is a lineup of women-fronted acts and solo artists: Spiritbox, Poppy, K. Flay and Nova Twins. Each opener appears on different legs of the tour, bringing variety while staying connected to the band’s recent collaborations and shared creative space.
Evanescence has already worked with Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante, Poppy and K. Flay on recent songs, making the tour feel like a live extension of their recent studio era.
Earlier this year, the band performed “Afterlife” at The Game Awards, reaching a global audience estimated at over 100 million viewers. The song topped rock charts in both the U.S. and Canada, reinforcing the band’s relevance more than 20 years after their initial rise.
Behind the scenes, Evanescence is also preparing a new studio album slated for release in early 2026. Amy Lee has confirmed the record is close to completion, with only final lyrics and vocal work left.
Lee has described the upcoming tour as a celebration of growth, collaboration and renewed excitement within the band. Rather than leaning only on nostalgia, Evanescence is entering 2026 with fresh music, trusted collaborators and a full schedule.
There is also a charitable component built into the tour. The band has partnered with PLUS1, ensuring that a portion of every ticket sold will go toward humanitarian aid and medical relief organizations worldwide.
For fans who have waited years to see Evanescence headline a world tour again, the message is simple and clear: the wait is over and 2026 is officially locked in.
