Evanescence has announced an extensive UK and European tour for 2026, featuring notable support from Poppy, Nova Twins, and K.Flay. The tour will kick off on September 8 at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, marking the band’s first full tour in the UK and Europe since their World’s Collide tour in 2022.
The upcoming tour includes performances at major venues across the UK, such as Manchester’s Co-op Live on September 10 and Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on September 11, concluding in London’s The O2 on September 13. Following the UK dates, Evanescence will travel to several European cities, including Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, and Barcelona, throughout September and into October.
This tour will feature Poppy as a special guest in the UK and Europe, while Nova Twins will open for the European leg and K.Flay for the UK dates. The collaboration between these artists is significant, particularly as K.Flay is featured on Evanescence’s latest single, “Fight Like A Girl,” and Poppy previously worked with frontwoman Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox on their track “End Of You.”
Amy Lee expressed her excitement about the upcoming tour, stating, “This year has been so inspiring in so many ways, creating so much new music, playing some bucket-list shows, and working with so many artists that give us life. We are taking all of that fire and energy and inspiration and building it into an epic 2026 for our fans.” She emphasized the importance of collaboration, saying, “I’m thrilled we are going to make it happen! I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.”
Tickets for the tour will go on general sale at 10 AM local time on December 5. Fans will have the opportunity to access an artist pre-sale starting at the same time on December 2.
