NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Grammy Award-winning rock band Evanescence, formed in Little Rock, is set to return to its Arkansas roots as part of its highly anticipated 2026 World Tour.
The band announced Monday that it will perform at Simmons Bank Arena on Saturday, July 11, 2026, with special guests Spiritbox and Nova Twins. The show promises a high-energy setlist blending classics like “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal” with new material, celebrating the group’s enduring legacy in alternative metal.
Evanescence, fronted by Amy Lee, rose to fame in the early 2000s and has sold over 25 million albums worldwide. This homecoming stop is part of a broader North American, UK, and European tour that includes festival appearances at Sick New World in Las Vegas (April 25, 2026) and Fort Worth (October 24, 2026). Select dates will also feature Poppy and K.Flay.
“Wake me up—Evanescence is bringing their 2026 World Tour to Simmons Bank Arena this summer!” exclaimed local station KATV in their announcement, capturing the excitement among Arkansas fans.
Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster and the Simmons Bank Arena website. Prices start at $39.50, with VIP packages available.
