Evanescence have announced a huge UK and European tour for 2026, with support from Poppy, Nova Twins and K.Flay. Find all the details below.
The US rock band are due to hit the road next autumn, marking their first full UK and European trek since their ‘World’s Collide’ live tour in 2022.
Kicking off with a performance at Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on September 8, the forthcoming run of dates also includes stops at Manchester’s Co-op Live (September 10), Birmingham’s Utilita Arena (11) and London’s The O2 (13).
From there, Evanescence will head to Europe for concerts in Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Berlin, Zurich, Barcelona, Lisbon and other cities throughout the rest of the month and into October.
They’ll be joined by special guest Poppy (UK/Europe), as well as openers Nova Twins (Europe only) and K.Flay (UK only).
The latter artist features on Evanescence’s latest single ‘Fight Like A Girl’, while Poppy appeared alongside frontwoman Amy Lee and Spiritbox‘s Courtney LaPlante on the collaborative 2025 track ‘End Of You’.
“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,” said Lee. “We are taking all of that fire and energy and inspiration and building it into an epic 2026 for our fans.”
She continued: “Collaborating with K.Flay, Poppy, and Courtney Le Plante made me want to create a world where we could share stages together, and I’m thrilled we are going to make it happen! I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on, and I can’t wait for this incredible tour.”
Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time this Friday (December 5) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale code by signing up here.

The UK and European shows will follow Evanescence’s North American tour with Spiritbox and Nova Twins over the summer.
This year also saw Amy Lee join forces with Halsey on the single ‘Hand That Feeds’, with Evanescence supporting the singer in Los Angeles. They opened for My Chemical Romance and Metallica in 2025, too.
In March, Evanescence released the song ‘Afterlife’ from the animated Netflix series Devil May Cry.
Speaking to NME about ‘End Of You’ in September, Lee hinted at what Evanescence could do next with Spiritbox and Poppy. “We’ll see what fun shenanigans could come out of this collab!” she said.
“It would be so rad if we could do a tour together… there’s a lot of schedules to work around. I don’t know if a full tour would ever happen, but we are determined to create a situation where we can play the song live.”
