Evanescence Extends World Tour for ‘Sanctuary’

To celebrate the release of their new album “Sanctuary,” Evanescence has announced an extension of their ongoing world tour, adding a leg in Australia and New Zealand. The band, led by vocalist Amy Lee, will bring their signature blend of gothic rock and orchestral metal to fans down under, marking their first visit to the region in several years.

The new dates include performances in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, and Perth, with tickets going on sale later this week. According to the announcement, the “Sanctuary” tour extension will feature:

  • A setlist blending new tracks from the album with classic hits like “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal.”
  • Enhanced stage production with dramatic lighting and visual effects.
  • Special guest support from alternative rock band Dead Letter Circus for select shows.

Evanescence’s decision to extend the tour underscores the strong fan reception to “Sanctuary,” which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The album marks a return to their darker, more introspective sound, with Lee describing it as “a journey through loss and resilience.”

Fans in North America and Europe, where the tour kicked off earlier this year, can expect the full “Sanctuary” experience when the band returns for additional dates in 2024. For now, all eyes are on the Pacific, as Evanescence prepares to deliver their haunting melodies to a new generation of listeners.
