Overview
- The band, which released the album Sanctuary on June 5, began its North American tour on June 11 and is using the run to foreground female artists on every night of the set.
- Amy Lee said the tour’s centerpiece is a nightly performance of 'Fight Like A Girl' where guest women artists join the stage to create a visible moment of solidarity.
- North American support includes NOVA TWINS and SPIRITBOX with rotating appearances by Poppy and K. Flay on portions of the tour and a planned European leg this autumn plus a one-off Red Rocks date in October.
- Evanescence has linked the tour to philanthropy by partnering with PLUS1 to donate $1/£1/€1 from each ticket to organizations that provide humanitarian and medical relief.
- Lee framed the approach as a corrective to old narratives of competition among women in rock and said recent chart success by women shows the genre’s shifting balance and wider acceptance.
