New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Opening acts have been announced for
Evanescence and Halestorm's Fall 2021 tour: Plush (plushrocks.net) will be joining for the first leg, and Lilith Czar (lilithczar.com) will be joining for the second. Tour dates (with opening acts indicated) below.
Evanescence and
Halestorm are returning to the concert stage in the US this fall. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will kick off Friday, November 5th, in Portland, OR, and take the bands to arenas across the country before wrapping up in the Northeast right before the holidays. Tickets and limited VIP packages are on sale now at LiveNation.com.
The tour will bring together two of the top women in rock - Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale - for a truly badass experience night after night. Close friends as well as close collaborators, just last year, Lzzy performed back-up vocals on Evanescence's "Use My Voice," and Amy joined Lzzy on a new version of Halestorm's "Break In." In addition to new music and the biggest hits from both women, the shows will highlight their personal bond and the music that's come of it.
Amy Lee said: "Words can't express how excited we are to go back on tour with our friends and rock out again. We've been building this new music in isolation for over a year and dreaming of what it will be like to finally play it live, and to experience it together with our fans for the first time. We can't wait to see you there!"
Lzzy Hale said of the upcoming tour: "We have all been mourning the loss of live music, and patiently waiting, looking toward an uncertain future. Finally the future looks bright and I can't think of a better way to break the silence than with our dear friends in Evanescence. I can only imagine how it will feel to step on stage again night after night, and reconnect with all of the fans whom I've missed so much. Get ready for intense emotions, loud performances, and a newly exhilarated energy unlike any tour we've experienced in the past. Looking forward to seeing you all!"
The Bitter Truth debuted in March as the #1 Current Rock and Alternative album in the US, and the band will bring audiences a high-octane rock energy to match the album, which The LA Times hailed as their "fiercest songs to date." Consequence of Sound said of The Bitter Truth, "Amy Lee and company triumphantly return … and it's certainly worth the wait," and the shows with
Halestorm this winter will further prove it.

Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning
Evanescence has made an impact on people around the world. The group's 2003 landmark debut album Fallen laid the foundation spending 43 weeks on the Billboard Top 10 and selling more than 17 million copies worldwide. Debut single and global hit "Bring Me to Life" reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and marked their first U.K. #1 hit single. The equally popular "
My Immortal" peaked at #7 in the U.S. and U.K. Following multiple worldwide tours, The Open Door came next, which went on to sell more than five million copies followed by the self-titled
Evanescence which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Charts.
Evanescence lead singer-songwriter and pianist Amy Lee, bassist Tim McCord, drummer Will Hunt, lead guitarist Troy McLawhorn, and guitarist and backing vocalist Jen Majura went down both very new and familiar paths for their fourth and most ambitious release to date, Synthesis, in 2017 via BMG. The symphonic effort scored four Billboard #1s, debuting atop the Independent, Alternative, Rock, and Classical Album Charts.
Evanescence launched their worldwide "Synthesis Live" tour in October 2017 combining their intense live performances and timeless songwriting with a powerful live orchestra. The Bitter Truth, out now on BMG, is Evanescence's fourth studio album.
Halestorm is comprised of Lzzy Hale [vocals + guitar], Arejay Hale [drums], Joe Hottinger [guitar], and Josh Smith [bass]. Together they have toured extensively clocking a staggering 2,500 live performances to date with a diverse variety of artists including: Eric Church, Joan Jett, Avenged Sevenfold, Alice Cooper,
ZZ Top and Evanescence. Most recently, the band scored a 2019 Grammy nomination for "Best Rock Performance" for their song "Uncomfortable," marking their second nomination after their 2013 win for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance." Loudwire named Lzzy their "2018 Rock Artist of the Year," and two years prior, she was named the "Dimebag Darrell Shredder of the Year" at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Both
Halestorm and their 2012 LP The Strange Case of… were certified Gold, further evidencing Halestorm's massively supportive fanbase.
Halestorm have also made history with "Love Bites (So Do I)," the hit single from The Strange Case of… which ascended to No. 1 at Active Rock radio in the U.S., making
Halestorm the first-ever group with a female vocalist to earn the top spot on the format. The band's latest album Vicious is out now.
PLUSH is an all-female rock band with a mission--to bring an all-girl rock band back to the forefront of the music industry.
PLUSH is composed of four talented musicians, all under the age of 21, whose accomplishments and talent eclipse their age.
This female rock force is fronted by singer/guitarist Moriah Formica, drummer Brooke Colucci, lead guitarist Bella Perron and bassist Ashley Suppa.
Their debut single "Hate" is currently Top 30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Created from Filth and Dust, the debut album from Lilith Czar, is an evocative invitation into her bold new world. It's aggressive music with warm accessibility; huge hooks with driving hard rock—the new larger-than-life icon channels the fierce combativeness of
Fiona Apple and Stevie Nicks' seductive witchery. It's a sound where the pulse of Nine Inch Nails, Halestorm's songcraft, and the libertine spirit of
David Bowie converge, all in service of a ritualistic ache for a more just and equitable world.
