Amy Lee’s Emotional Return to Australia: Evanescence Add Adelaide and Fans Are Already Tearing Up

There’s a wave of anticipation sweeping through the Aussie rock scene — and if you’re in Adelaide, get ready, because it’s about to crash. The powerhouse band Evanescence, fronted by the unmistakable Amy Lee, have officially announced a new date in Adelaide. After months of speculation, it’s now confirmed: the band will perform at Adelaide Oval on November 5, 2025, as part of their tour supporting ⁠Metallica’s “M72” run in Australia and New Zealand.

For many fans, this isn’t just another concert — it’s a moment loaded with emotion, significance, and finally a homecoming of sorts. Amy Lee recently revealed that bassist Emma Anzai has strong roots in the Australia/New Zealand region, and that making this tour happen “felt like a bucket-list thing” for Evanescence. BLABBERMOUTH.NET Adelaide itself holds a special place: while the band has toured here before, the scale of this stadium date means the Adelaide fans will be part of something much bigger.

What does this mean for you, the Adelaide rock-lover? First: access. A stadium show means more thunderous sound, larger production, and a star-turn from Lee and her bandmates (Tim McCord, Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn, Emma Anzai). Second: nostalgia. Evanescence’s catalogue — from “Bring Me to Life” to “My Immortal” — is deeply woven into the emotional soundtrack of a generation. Third: exclusivity. With the tour dates tightly curated, the Adelaide stop becomes a rarer gem, and for many locals, a “finally we get the big show” moment.

Lee’s own comments are telling: “I’m not scared at all… it’s our first stadium tour in this context,” she said, acknowledging the weight of the moment. BLABBERMOUTH.NET She also noted the dual thrill of opening for Metallica and performing for Aussie fans who’ve waited for something of this magnitude. Add to that the Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney shows announced alongside, and you get the sense that Adelaide isn’t just another stop — it’s part of a strategic push to make Down Under a major highlight.

If you’re planning to go, here are a few quick pro tips:

• Grab tickets early: these are going fast and with stadium venues, the big seats go early.

• Get in early: the opening act and the atmosphere will be electric.

• Re-visit the catalogue: songs like “Lithium”, “Going Under”, “Call Me When You’re Sober” will likely get special treatment given the tour’s significance.

• Bring your crew: this is the kind of concert that becomes a memory you’ll talk about for years.

So mark the date, Adelaide: Evanescence plus Amy Lee are bringing more than just a show. They’re bringing an emotional return, a celebration, and a chance to be part of rock history. Don’t miss it.
