Evanescence and Halestorm have joined the growing ranks of bands confident that touring at scale will return later this year, announcing a series of shows slated to run through mostly major markets in the U.S. in November and December. With large gaps of time between certain dates, it looks possible that more dates will be announced, with this current batch going on sale to the general public this coming Friday, May 14.
The two bands collaborated in the studio in 2020; Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee guested on a reimagined version of Halestorm’s “Break In,” and Halestorm namesake and frontwoman Lzzy Hale performed on Evanescence’s “Use My Voice.”
Lee comments on the tour:
“Words can’t express how excited we are to go back on tour with our friends and rock out again. We’ve been building this new music in isolation for over a year and dreaming of what it will be like to finally play it live, and to experience it together with our fans for the first time. We can’t wait to see you there!”
Hale offered:
“We have all been mourning the loss of live music, and patiently waiting, looking toward an uncertain future. Finally the future looks bright and I can’t think of a better way to break the silence than with our dear friends in Evanescence. I can only imagine how it will feel to step on stage again night after night, and reconnect with all of the fans whom I’ve missed so much. Get ready for intense emotions, loud performances, and a newly exhilarated energy unlike any tour we’ve experienced in the past. Looking forward to seeing you all!””
