Rock band to play first headlining tour in 4 years, including Upstate NY concert

A rock band is set for its first headlining tour in four years.

Evanescence announced its 2026 tour dates Monday, including a June 23 concert at the Broadview Stage at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) in Saratoga Springs. Spiritbox and Nova Twins will open the Upstate New York concert at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Fans can also look for tickets on Vivid Seats and Seat Geek.

Evanescence, led by singer Amy Lee, last headlined a tour when the band released its album, “The Bitter Truth,” in 2021. Evanescence has built up to the new trek by opening for Metallica and My Chemical Romance this past year.

“We have really tapped into something special,” Lee told Rolling Stone. “It’s going to be a blast. I got all my ladies in. I have an excellent band beside me. When we go out on tour, we have fun together and challenge each other to be the best that we can be. It’s taken time to grow and build and change into that band. I definitely have more energy about everything Evanescence than I did 10 years ago. Because of that, we fuel each other. So I am very excited about the tour.”

Lee also said a new Evanescence album will be released early next year. She said she’s feeling some of the “same inspiration level and love” as she did during the band’s 2003 debut, “Fallen,” but said “we’re different now. We’re better.”

Evanescence, who won Best New Artist at the 2004 Grammy Awards, is best known for 2000s hits like “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal” and “Call Me When You’re Sober.” Lee is the only original band member still in the lineup.

“It definitely feels like a convergence of a bunch of things in the universe at the same time,” Lee told Rolling Stone. “Culturally, something’s happening where 2000s bands are having a moment 20 years later. As much as we have taken time between albums, we never went away. We’ve been building this thing since then, and I’m realizing that is pretty rare. For us to be here with our incredible fan base after all this time, and to also have the mainstream radar on us in a big way again, it just feels like everything at the right time.”
