American rock band Evanescence scheduled to perform exclusive concert in New Zealand in 2027
In 2027, the US rock band Evanescence will grace New Zealand with a special one-off show at Auckland’s Spark Arena. The band, led by Amy Lee on vocals and keyboards, together with guitarists Troy McLawhorn and Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, and bassist Emma Anzai, will embark on a worldwide tour covering North America, the UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America.
Evanescence’s journey will take fans through a collection of their music, ranging from their debut album Fallen in 2003 to their latest release, Sanctuary. The band will perform in Auckland on Saturday, March 20, 2027, giving eager fans a chance to experience their iconic hits up close.
After their debut album Fallen propelled them to critical acclaim and commercial success in the early 2000s, Evanescence continued to achieve accolades, including Grammy Awards and diamond certification in the US. In 2027, they reached new heights with their track “Afterlife,” which secured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart after being featured in Netflix’s “Devil May Cry.”
Evanescence last visited New Zealand in support of Metallica at Eden Park, where their spellbinding performance was met with praise from attendees. Fans were captivated by the show, emphasizing that it was “very, very impressive” with an “unbelievable” atmosphere.
In addition to thrilling performances, the recent passing of influential musicians has captured headlines. Peabo Bryson, known for his duets in Disney’s iconic films, passed away at the age of 75, while Ronald LaPread, former bass player of the Commodores, ended his musical journey in Auckland at the same age. Such losses have reverberated within the music community, reminding fans of the enduring impact artists have on the industry.
Evanescence’s forthcoming concert is set to draw music enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable evening of rock and nostalgia. As the band continues to leave an indelible mark on the music scene, their live performance promises to be a memorable experience for fans and newcomers alike. With their unmistakable sound and powerful melodies, Evanescence’s return to New Zealand will undoubtedly be an electrifying event for music lovers everywhere.
