After North America, the itinerary takes Evanescence to the UK for arena shows in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and London in early and mid-September 2026, before continuing to continental Europe. The Live Nation schedule and subsequent coverage by Loudersound show dates in Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam, followed by the five-city sweep through Germany and further nights in Bologna, Zurich, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon, ensuring that the Sanctuary era reaches a broad European fanbase.

How Sanctuary shapes the new live show
The 2026 World Tour coincides with Evanescence’s sixth studio album Sanctuary, released on June 5, 2026 through BMG. The band’s official site highlights Sanctuary as a key focus of their current activity, promoting the record alongside the tour dates and the single Who Will You Follow, whose video is prominently featured on the homepage. The official Evanescence website also notes that vinyl preorders for the album continue with a dedicated release date for physical formats.
A Ticketmaster-curated playlist for the 2026 tour suggests that new songs such as Sanctuary, Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough, Afterlife and Rapture will sit alongside long-established favorites like Going Under and Lithium in the live set. This indicates a setlist that balances the band’s nu metal-era classics with their more recent, atmospheric material, giving long-time fans in cities like Berlin and Munich both nostalgia and an up-to-date snapshot of their current sound.
