After being rescheduled repeatedly due to the effects of the Covid pandemic, the long-awaited co-headline tour from two truly iconic rock bands finally kicks off next month.
With almost every show close to selling out, and only limited tickets and VIP packages remaining, the UK & European tour from Evanescence and Within Temptation is proving to be one of the hottest tickets in rock this year. Anticipation is mounting for their incredible live shows after a summer of blockbuster performances.
Both bands have sold millions of records worldwide and have been at the forefront of the music scene for more than two decades. Fronted by two of the most celebrated voices in rock music – Amy Lee (Evanescence) and Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) – both bands have headlined arenas and festivals around the globe in their own right.
Within Temptation released their most-recent single ‘Don’t Pray For Me’ in July accompanied by a stunning video. They have spent the summer touring Europe and are currently supporting Iron Maiden across the USA. They have also joined forces recently with Maiden, bringing their own character ‘Genesis’ into the band’s world-beating Legacy of The Beast computer game.
Evanescence meanwhile have been touring the US on a co-headline run with Korn, appearing at some of the major festivals including Louder Than Life where Amy Lee made a surprise guest appearance with Tenacious D, and seeing their breakout single ‘Bring Me To Life’ re-enter the US iTunes charts at No.1. They have also just announced a US tour with Muse for March 2023. Singer Amy Lee took time out to record a breath-taking duet of an Everly Brother’s track with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) which you can check out here: ‘Love Hurts’.’
And now, on the Worlds Collide Tour, Evanescence and Within Temptation finally come together in spectacular fashion to bring their incredible live shows to fans across Europe.
Amy Lee comments, “We are so excited to finally come back to the UK for a few very special nights of much-needed release. We have a whole new album of music to play, and for all the years we’ve been coming this will be our very first time playing the 02! We can’t wait.”
Sharon den Adel comments, "After three years and four reschedules, it is FINALLY happening. Yep, it still feels a bit surreal still. However, we truly have started our very last preparations to making it one of the coolest and most memorable shows we've created. One more month until we kick off the Worlds Collide Tour and oh man, we SO can't wait! See you next month!”
