What is Evanescence?
Iconic rock band Evanescence will make a welcome return to Australia and New Zealand in March 2027, for a huge run of headline arena shows. Responsible for one of the world’s most iconic and successful debut albums, Fallen, featuring defining singles like “Bring Me to Life,” “Going Under,” and “My Immortal”, Evanescence will take fans through a vast array of material, from this debut long-player through to the just-released album, Sanctuary, which features the global hits, “Afterlife” and “Who Will You Follow.”
Evanescence last toured Australia in late 2025, as special guest on Metallica’s M72 World Tour, when they also played some intimate, small-capacity side shows. Prior to that, they celebrated 20 years of debut album Fallen with a tour in August 2023. Now, with new album Sanctuary under their belt, comes a welcome opportunity for fans to see Evanescence in their full live glory!
