EVANESCENCE are returning to Europe in 2026 for a major tour, bringing their spectacular live production to Germany in September. Joining them as special guest will be POPPY. Outside the UK, the shows will also feature NOVA TWINS as the opening act.
The German leg includes five dates, with one of the most anticipated stops for fans in the Rhine-Main region taking place on September 19, 2026, at Festhalle Frankfurt.
The Frankfurt show is already sold out.
EVANESCENCE Meet POPPY
With EVANESCENCE and POPPY, two extraordinary artists come together, each representing a very different approach to modern rock and heavy music.
EVANESCENCE combine alternative rock, metal, electronic elements and orchestral soundscapes with the unmistakable voice of Amy Lee. Since their international breakthrough with the multi-award-winning album “Fallen” and hits such as “Bring Me To Life,” “My Immortal” and “Going Under,” the band have become one of the defining acts of modern rock music.
POPPY, meanwhile, deliberately moves between musical worlds. Industrial, alternative metal, pop and modern heavy sounds are just as much part of her musical universe as experimental elements. The tour therefore promises an evening that brings together very different facets of contemporary rock and heavy music.
Frankfurt – September 19
For the Rhine-Main region, Saturday, September 19, 2026, will turn Festhalle Frankfurt into a meeting point for fans of EVANESCENCE, POPPY and modern rock music.
The historic Frankfurt venue provides the perfect setting for the tour’s large-scale production. EVANESCENCE have built an impressive live history over the years, developing their shows into elaborate arena experiences.
With POPPY as special guest and NOVA TWINS opening outside the UK, the evening will also feature two acts representing a distinctly modern and genre-defying approach to rock and heavy music.
Looking Back: Worlds Collide
For Music-Rebels readers, the upcoming tour also provides an opportunity to look back at a previously documented collaboration.
In 2022, EVANESCENCE joined forces with WITHIN TEMPTATION for the “Worlds Collide Tour.” The co-headline tour travelled across numerous European cities, bringing together two of the most successful bands in modern symphonic and alternative metal.
We already captured the atmosphere of that tour in the magazine – including extensive live photography.

A Must-See Date in Frankfurt!
September 19, 2026 is set to be one of the major rock events of the year in Frankfurt. EVANESCENCE will bring their iconic classics and their current musical era to the stage, while POPPY and NOVA TWINS provide a distinctly modern counterpoint.
For those lucky enough to have secured tickets to the already sold-out Frankfurt show, the evening promises a combination of iconic rock anthems, spectacular production and three very different artists.
