Evanescence drops new album info ahead of massive 2026 tour

Evanescence is making a big comeback in 2026! They’re planning a major tour and will also be releasing a new album. Fans can also look forward to a brand new single from the band.

The new album, titled Sanctuary, will be available everywhere on June 5th. It will be released on vinyl, CD, and as a limited-edition box set. The vinyl version won’t be available until September 4th.

This is Evanescence’s first album since 2021’s The Bitter Truth. Singer Amy Lee shared on the band’s website that they’ve been working on it for three years.

This suggests the album was crafted with great care, and the audio quality should be excellent. The album will include 12 songs, listed below:

01. “Beautiful Lie”
02. “Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough”
03. “Who Will You Follow”
04. “Rapture”
05. “Afterlife”
06. “Sanctuary”
07. “How Do I Heal”
08. “About Us”
09. “Self-Destruct”
10. “Calm Down”
11. “Forever Without You”
12. “Wide Open Heart”

The band’s new song, “Who Will Follow You,” is out now and available to stream. It starts with just Lee singing over a simple piano melody, but soon evolves into the band’s well-known sound – something long-time listeners will appreciate.

Evanescence’s 2026 tour kicks off in June and continues through October with very few breaks, so fans will have lots of opportunities to catch a show.
