Korn and Evanescence speak about their 2022 Tour
In a press statement, Jonathan Davis of Korn had the following to share about the tour:
“We’re looking forward to going on tour this summer and bringing our friends, Evanescence, out. Whenever Amy comes to one of our shows, I always love seeing her on the side of the stage watching the whole set and rocking out. We’re gonna have a great time on this tour, and we can’t wait to see you there.”
Amy Lee of Evanescence said:
“I fell hard into Korn’s music in high school. It was an inspiration during the formation of my own band. The chances we’ve had to play together over the years are special, a part of our history. They remain one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. It’s an honor and a thrill to go out with our friends again, our first full tour together since ‘07. We’re all really looking forward to this.”
Korn and Evanescence have separately announced tour dates in support of their recently released albums. The former is on tour in support of their new LP Requiem, which features hit singles including Start the Healing, Forgotten, and Lost in the Grandeur.
Meanwhile, Evanescence is on tour for last year’s album The Bitter Truth, which features singles including Wasted on You, The Game Is Over, Use My Voice, and Better Without You.
