Evanescence announce huge UK tour with surprise guests but fans are 'gutted' with venue choice

Evanescence are heading on a huge world tour next year with surprise guests in tow, but fans are 'gutted' with the venue choice (tickets available via Ticketmaster and AXS).

In case you missed it, the American rockers are preparing for their first global stint in four years, with stops in Manchester, London, and Birmingham.

The Bring Me To Life hitmakers will be in good company too, as support acts Spiritbox, Poppy, K. Flay, and Nova Twins will join them on the road across select dates.

But some fans are disappointed with the choice of UK venues, as there aren't any Scottish, Irish or Welsh dates in the diary.

"No Dublin date, I'm going to cry," wrote one Irish fan on Reddit.

Another said, "The way my emotions changed from elated to devastated by reading this."

"No Scottish or Irish dates," wrote another, as one replied: "Or Welsh, don't forget about us."

Artists do tend to drop extra dates as general sale approaches, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Speaking about the upcoming tour, frontwoman Amy Lee said: "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."

So, what time do tickets go on sale, and how much will they cost? Find out everything you need to know below.
