As the COVID vaccine becomes more and more widespread, many of rock and metal’s hard-touring veterans are plotting their triumphant return to the stage. Now, two of those bands, goth metallers Evanescence and hard rockers Halestorm, have announced huge tour for later this year.
“Words can’t express how excited we are to go back on tour with our friends and rock out again,” says Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee. “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!”
“We have all been mourning the loss of live music, and patiently waiting, looking toward an uncertain future,” says Halestorm vocalist Lzzy Hale. “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!”
