Frontwoman Amy Lee shared news of the tour via Twitter early this morning, expressing her excitement for the overseas trip.

“Europe! You’ve been asking, so we answered. 14 new dates this Sept across 11 countries. Pre-sale begins tomorrow at 10am local. Use the password EUROPE19. On-sale begins Friday, May 3 at 10am local. All dates at http://evanescence.com  – tell us what show you’ll be attending!”

A new tour isn’t the only thing we can expect from Evanescence this year, as 2019 is also the target for new music from the band.

They also revealed the forthcoming release will be a follow-up to 2011’s self-titled record.

According to an interview with 93.3 WMMR Rocks! in December, Lee says the band are all on board to return to their roots.

“We all really wanna do it,” Lee says. “And it’s not one of those things where it’s like, ‘Someday, maybe we’ll do something again.’ Everybody’s on board, and we’re getting together to do a few shows next year in [the self-titled] style–partially because I think it’ll be good for us to get back to that root, just get back to playing Evanescence-style rock ’n’ roll and just jive together again.”
