Iconic rock band Evanescence return to Melbourne in March 2027, bringing with them more than two decades of era-defining music.
Responsible for one of the world’s most iconic and successful debut albums, Fallen, featuring defining singles such as “Bring Me to Life,” “Going Under” and “My Immortal,” Evanescence will take fans through a vast array of material, from their groundbreaking debut through to the new sounds of Sanctuary.
Evanescence last toured Australia in late 2025 as special guests on Metallica’s M72 World Tour, where they also performed a series of intimate, capacity side shows. Prior to that, the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of Fallen with a national tour in August 2023.
Now, with their new album Sanctuary under their belt, fans have another opportunity to experience Evanescence in their full live glory.

Evanescence
American rock band Evanescence was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer and pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. After releasing independent recordings, the band broke through globally with their debut album Fallen in 2003 via Wind-up Records. Driven by iconic singles “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal”, Fallen sold more than 17 million copies worldwide and earned the band 2 GRAMMY Awards from 6 nominations, cementing their place in modern rock history.
In 2011, Evanescence debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and topped multiple Billboard charts including Rock, Digital, Alternative and Hard Rock Albums. After periods of touring, hiatus and lineup changes, the band continued to evolve with releases including Synthesis in 2017 and The Bitter Truth in 2021, reflecting a stylistic shift while maintaining their signature intensity. Across decades of change, Evanescence have remained a defining force in alternative rock.
