Evanescence May Be Heading Back to Australia and New Zealand in 2026

Australian fans of Evanescence might finally have reason to get excited, with new clues strongly hinting that the iconic rock band is preparing to announce an Australia and New Zealand tour.

While there has been no official announcement just yet, eagle-eyed fans spotted a very interesting note on the band’s official merch store tied to pre-orders for their upcoming album Sanctuary. The listing states that fans in Australia and New Zealand who pre-order the album before June 5 will receive “early access to tickets” for a forthcoming Australia and New Zealand tour that is still yet to be announced.

That small detail has sparked major excitement across social media, with many fans taking it as confirmation that a tour reveal is right around the corner.

The potential return would mark the band’s first Australian shows since 2023, when Evanescence toured the country celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark debut album Fallen. Those shows proved there is still massive demand for the band down under, drawing huge crowds eager to hear classics like Bring Me to Life, My Immortal, and Going Under performed live once again.

Over the years, Amy Lee and the band have built an incredibly loyal Australian fanbase, with many fans hoping this next run of shows could include both major arena dates and possibly festival appearances.

The mention of ticket pre-sale access tied to Sanctuary pre-orders also suggests an announcement could be coming very soon, especially with the June 5 cut-off date rapidly approaching.

At this stage, no tour dates, venues, or cities have been confirmed, but all signs are pointing toward Evanescence making their long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026.

Fans wanting first access to tickets may want to keep a close eye on the band’s official channels in the coming weeks.
