Evanescence & Lindsey Stirling Launching Joint Summer Tour With Full Orchestra

Evanescence
"String Me to Life?"
Evanescence and violin virtuoso Lindsey Stirling are teaming up for what will surely be the summer's more drama-filled tour.
The goth rockers and former YouTube sensation are hitting the road with a full orchestra for a 31-date co-headlining North American amphitheater outing that is slated to kick off on July 6 at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, and will run through a Sept. 8 date at the Sunlight Supply Amphitheatre in Ridgefield, Washington.
The acts recently collaborated on the song "Hi-Lo," from Evanescence's 2017 comeback album, Synthesis, and Stirling is touring in support of her fourth album, last year's Warmer in the Winter. The 31-year-old violinist didn't hold back in her excitement about the tour, tweeting, "In case you missed it, my dreams are coming true this summer and @evanescence and I are going on tour together!" In another tweet, Stirling promised to bring an "epic & unforgettable performance" to your town.
