The Evanescence Tour was the third worldwide concert tour by American rock band Evanescence. Staged in support of their 2011 eponymous third studio album, the tour began in August 2011 and ended in November 2012, with the band playing shows in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Oceania, and Africa.

Development

[edit]

In July 2011, before the album's release, the band had several early tour dates scheduled, including Nashville, Tennessee in August, Brazil and Puerto Rico in October, and the UK in November.[1] In an interview in August, Lee spoke about the tour, stating that tour rehearsal had not yet started as they were finishing the album track list, album art and mixes, and doing photo shoots and press runs. "Everything's just crammed really tight, from the video to the promo to the rehearsal."[2] She also stated that the tour will be "straight-up rock. Big energy, this album is just a fast-paced rock ride", adding, "We're definitely focusing mainly on the new material. We're really excited about that music the most — obviously it's the newest — but of course we'll be playing some from both of our other albums too."[2][3]

The band's concerts were supported by The Pretty Reckless,[4] Fair to Midland,[5] and Rival Sons.[6] The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen stated she was a "big fan of Evanescence, so it's really exciting to be opening for them".[4] During January 2012 rehearsal for upcoming shows, Lee told fans on Twitter that they could suggest songs to be included in the tour set list.[7]

Evanescence performing in 2011

Evanescence began their tour in support of the album with a concert at War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 17, 2011.[1] This was followed by performances at Rock on the Range in Winnipeg, Canada on August 20,[8] Rock in Rio Brazil on October 2,[9][10] and José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 6.[11] The band kicked off the first leg of the tour in the US on October 10 in Oakland, California, finishing November 1 in New York City, before touring the UK and Europe.[11][8] The UK tour started at London's Hammersmith Apollo on November 4 and ended on November 13 at the O2 Academy Birmingham.[5] The Evanescence tour continued with concerts in the United States, Asia, South America, and Europe.[11][3]

Critical reception

[edit]

Reviewing a Los Angeles show, Sophie A. Schillaci of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the band and Lee's live vocals, writing, "Lee delivered with high energy and an undeniably fierce vocal style", but wished there was more banter between songs.[12] Matt Elias of MTV called it an energetic show that kept the crowd engaged.[13] Jon Pareles of The New York Times said that the band's "thrashing and roaring" and Lee's powerful voice culminated in a "wearying" but "virtuosic concert, exulting in sorrow, determination and thunderous impact."[14] St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Kevin C. Johnson said the "brooding" music featured "Lee's distinct, aching wails to the band's trademark crunchy guitar chords that never seem to quit".[15] The National's Abu Dhabi wrote that the band "put on a charged set that balanced their new tracks with crowd favourites" and Lee "was all dynamism".[16] Joel Francis of The Kansas City Star stated that the band "relentlessly hammerd heavy riffs" and Lee "glided across the stage and sashayed over the cacophony, her voice simultaneously tempering and reinforcing the ferocity below", showing that Evanescence is "still not only a force to be reckoned with, but very much here to stay".[17]
