Fan Reviews
We had a great time at this concert with three bands performing that were well selected in terms of genre and popularity. We really enjoyed Evanescence not having seen them live before. The set was great including many of their hit songs. Amy Lee is a terrific performer and it is great to see her back on tour. The venue at Canada Life Place was nice, very clean, well run to get in and out, and we had a great seat in the 100 level row G. We would definitely come back to see another concert or event at this venue.

Amazing seeing Evanescence again after 15 years! Loved them in 2007 and loved them again in 2024. Amy Lee’s voice has matured and sounds so much better now. She was able to sing the entire time with strong vocals and lots of energy. More crowd interaction would have been amazing. The crowd seemingly hasn’t followed along for the past 21 years since Fallen was released as the new songs from the Bitter Truth went over their heads. The die-hard fans got it though and it was a brilliant show. Everyone was standing for Bring Me To Life and it was a beautiful show.
Halestorm, who opened, was incredible! They rocked and had the highest energy out of all the groups. That was a spectacular performance. Lizzy has pipes!

This show was epic from start to finish! The Warning rocked, Halestorm was absolutely on fire, and Evanescence did an epic 1.5 hour set. I absolutely loved the show. The venue staff was a different story. No clear instructions on what to do and they would get snarky when you asked for clarification. They sell bottled water on the concourse, but won’t let you take it into the bowl. Guy snatched the bottle out of my hand without a word, took the cap off, and threw it in the trash. Then I took two steps and got stopped by three guys who were aggressively blocking me from entering until poured my water into a cup. Fine, whatever… but again, there were zero instructions on site or online that said bottled water was not allowed, they didn’t tell me that when I bought two bottles to last the entire show, and they didn’t need to be jerks about it.

The best day and the best moment of my life.
Last year, on the South American Tour, it was already unforgettable: the show in Rio de Janeiro took place three days after my birthday and was the fulfillment of my biggest dream since I was eleven years old. I'll never forget October 23, 2023 because of that. In the same way, I'll never forget September 15, 2024. Never.
For the second year in a row, I celebrate my birthday (which is on October 20) with you. You gave me the best thirty-year-old celebration anyone could have. I couldn't wish for anything better, after all, it was Evanescence that saved my life so many times and for that I'm and will always be extremely grateful. You gave the Brazilian public the best show of the entire 2024 edition of Rock in Rio and it was an honor to be there, completely excited and happy. It was worth it.
Thank you so much for everything! Come back often. We Brazilians love you very much. 🇧🇷🤍

AMAZING!!! amy lee’s voice sound so angelic and so beautiful. her ability to hit the high notes as if it was the easiest thing in the world and also to be able to HOLD those notes for a long time is absolutely insane!!! when i was looking back on the videos i took last night, i counted 19 seconds when she was holding a high note!!! and the bassist’s back up vocals compliment amy’s voice so perfectly and beautifully i got chills. the drummer was awesome and the GUITARIST??! his solo on “imaginary”?!?! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! the band is elite i love them so much!! they definitely did redeem themselves from 13 years ago, that’s for sure.
this was the best concert i’ve been to!! 10000000/10!!!!

GREAT SHOW, AND SUPPORT ACT THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WERE ELECTRIC & THEN AMY AND THE EVANESCENCE CREW BLEW THE ROOF OFF.
THE ONLY GRIPE WAS HOW THE VENUE STAFF HANDLED THE GATES OPENING & THE MICROMANAGEMENT OF PATRONS ENTERING THE OUTER ARENA . IN PARTICULAR MY SECTION (FLOOR TICKETS , STANDING ONLY), FIRST WE HAD TO WALK ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BACK OF THE ARENA, THE FURTHEST GATE FROM ALL THE PUBTRANSPORT DROP OFFS/TAXI ZONES , BUS PARKING AND GENERAL PUBLIC PARKING LOTS & COVERED PARKING BUILDING, TO EITHER STAND AROUND OR SIT ON THE COLD CEMENT TO WAIT FOR GATES TO OPEN BECAUSE THERE IS NO PUBLIC SEATING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE ARENA LIKE THE OTHER SIDES WITH SEATING , FOOD & DRINKS OUTLETS & TOILETS.
JUST SAYING ARENA NEEDS TO UPDATE THOSE ISSUES.
THEN AFTER SITTING OUTSIDE THE GATE WITH NO ACCESS TO TOILETING, FOOD OR DRINKS THE FLOOR PATRONS WERE TOLD CONTINUALLY TO HURRY UP AND DO NOT STOP WHILE BEING USHERED FROM THE GATE, UP A SET OF STAIRS, AROUND A CORNER, THEN DOWN ANOTHER SET OF STAIRS & INTO A CORRIDOR TO STAND FOR ANOTHER 40 MINUTES WHILE ALL THE OTHER SECTIONS WERE ALLOWED TO GO TO CONCESSION STANDS & VISIT MERCH STALL & GO TO THE TOILET & HANG AROUND IN THE OUTER ARENA & FIND THEIR SEATS, ONLY AFTER ARENA STAFF HAD DECIDED ENOUGH OF THE AUDIENCE HAD ENTERED THE CONCERT AREA WERE WE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE CORRIDOR TO TAKE THE FLOOR & WERE TOLD WE COULDN'T LEAVE THE FLOOR UNTIL THE REST OF THOSE ATTENDING HAD FOUND THEIR SEATS & OUR SECTION WAS FINALLY ALLOWED OUT OF FLOOR AREA TO ACCESS FOOD, DRINKS, TOILET, MERCH, SMOKE AREA . 2 HOUR+ STANDING & WAITING WITHOUT ACCESS TO SERVICES THAT EVERY OTHER ACCESS POINTS ARE AFFORDED. ONLY SERVICE ACCESSIBLE TO US WAS BEING ESCORTED TO HIRE BELONGINGS LOCKERS & ESCORTED OUT.
UPGRADE ALL ACCESS POINTS TO PROVIDE SAME SERVICES AS MAIN ENTRANCE. WE PAID MORE FOR OUR TICKETS THAN MOST IN ATTENDANCE AND GOT TREATED LIKE WE HAD TURNED UP & MOOCHED FREE TICKETS AT THE COST OF THE EVENT STAFF AND HAD NO MONEY TO SPEND.

Show impecável! Amy sempre linda e carismática, a acústica do Classic Hall é maravilhosa e o espaço não estava absurdamente lotado, o que permitiu curtir todo o show sem muito aperto. Para isso, nota 10.
O que me deixou chateada de verdade foi a organização na entrada, onde uma das pessoas que estava revistando não me permitiu entrar com o acessório que eu estava usando, sendo que as únicas especificações no site da Eventim eram "correntes e cinturões", não falava nada sobre arreios e colares. Se eu não tivesse ido de carro, teria que ter jogado meus acessórios no LIXO, e segundo a pessoa que fez a revista, muitas outras pessoas tinham feito a mesma coisa. Um absurdo! Pelo menos especifique no site CORRETAMENTE o que não poderia entrar. Eu nem levei bolsa justamente para evitar esse tipo de situação. Um infortúnio que quase arruinou minha noite.

I bought the VIP package with the sound check. Unfortunately the microphone and instruments were already set, they left us standing 10 meters away from the stage fence, with the lights off, Amy did not interact with us, we hardly even saw her, she sang three songs and they took us out of the venue. It lasted 15 minutes. I feel that the band could have been a little less impersonal and taken into account the effort that an Argentinian makes to be able to pay that entry fee and see them up close. Not a fist bump or a photo, nothing! Disappointing.
The band should be kind to the Argentine people!

Voy a hacerlo en español porque en inglés me llevaría mucho tiempo. Hace 20 años que soy fan de Evanescence y ayer fue la primera vez que pude verlos en vivo. Realmente fue una experiencia increíble, algo de lo que no me voy a olvidar el resto de mi vida. La banda sonó perfecta y Amy es infinitas veces más hermosa en persona que en fotos o videos. Ojalá que vuelvan pronto a Argentina y que tengamos EVANESCENCE por siempre, porque no imagino mi vida sin esta banda. Los amo. ¡GRACIAS POR TODO!

Los que tengan oportunidad de ir a esta gira 2023 no se lo pierdan, lograron un sonido en vivo excelente, con una bateria infernal que les da un toque mas heavy, la vos de Amy siempre al frente, acertando cada nota. El setlist esta muy bien seleccionado, pasando por viejos momentos, los cuales nos llevan un poco en el tiempo y nos genera nostalgia (Los mas viejos), los temas del ultimo disco suenan muy bien, tienen un plus en vivo. Saludos a todos desde Argentina y ahora a ver a Primal Fear!!!
Those who have the opportunity to go on this 2023 tour don't miss it, they achieved an excellent live sound, with an infernal drum that gives them a heavier touch, Amy's voice always in front, hitting every note. The setlist is very well selected, going through old moments, which take us back in time a little and generate nostalgia (The Oldest Ones), the songs from the last album sound very good, they have a plus live. Greetings to everyone from Argentina and now let's see Primal Fear!!!

First time seeing Evanescence after being a fan for 20 YEARS! 🤟🏼 Saw them again in Teatro Metropolitan two days after. BEST CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO!
The band gave everything they had. Amy's vocals were more than perfect. The energy was super high.
Even though they played at midnight in a very windy, cold open venue, it filled up with fans singing at top of their lungs.
This is proof they can have bigger venues sold out in Mexico!
This show meant a lot after Knotfest events, and all Evanescence fans are grateful they came back. We really made an effort to show them love, and we hope they come back soon ❤️🤟🏼 Also, Amy teared up a bit and moved us all. Thanks for the best show ever

Second time seeing Evanescence in a row (saw them first on Pulso GNP two days earlier). GREAT SHOW! Only toped by Pulso GNP. The band was great, Amy's vocals were perfect and we all had a great time.
Wished they could have picked a bigger venue. Pulso GNP and Arena Monterrey are proof they can have bigger venues sold out!

I’ve been a fan of Evanescence since Fallen came out and this was my fist time attending an Evanescence concert. This was an amazing and magical experience. Listening to Amy singing live was like hearing a siren’s song. I wanted to thank all band members for this feeling. I felt they were not as well acknowledged in the concert last night. I guess what I’m trying to say is THANK YOU EVANESCENCE (Amy, Tim, Emma, Will and Troy) for the best concert I’ve ever attended. Your music has been an important part of my life since growing up and until now. I look forward to hear more from you in the future and be able to repeat this extraordinary experience. Love you guys!

OMG! Amy Lee, Troy, Will, Tim and Emma....what can I say WOW WOW WOW🥰
The best band of all time in my eyes, heart and soul. Truly amazing sounds. Awesome pyrotechnics, eith the rain and clouds it set off an amazing spiritual show.
My partner of 19 years also proposed to me, knowing how much I love Evanescence, chose to pop the special question on such a special night.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to Perth and I truly hope Evanescence will be Going Down Under 😉🥰💜🤘again real soon...💜🤘💜
Also a shout out to The Beautiful Monument. Amazing support show. You guys rock. I have another great band to add to my play list. Keep rockin' girls 🤘🤘🤘👌

Progresja Suck! Two Gates.. who makes two different entrance ? Oh Yes i know, somone who let in friens of a friend of the board of the club, earlier and they stood Just before the stage in first line . People who came first and stay in line , before first gate for 10hours had a problem cause 3/4 of the first line was already taken by hoomies of progresja . Big disapointment . Proof is on Photos that members of evanencence took . Over half of the People in first line wasnt even in the line (first gaate ) and I know it cause I was there early . Ok enough of this suckig club.
Evanescence gave great show. I love it very much and seeing them for the first time with my 15 year Old daughter it was magical. Sound was decent even when we stood Just by the speakers . I will never forget intro ... and my favorite broken pieces shine .... i Got goosflash . In fact every thing was in my daughters eyes ... pure happines . Thank U Evanescence for give US such a plesure .

Evanescence never fails to entertain people. I have been listening to their music when I was seventeen years old. I bought their first album Fallen and I still have it; they changed my life. Their music is for people who have been bullied, abused, struggling, and trouble fitting in with others. While I was watching the 2003 Daredevil with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in it, I was hearing their songs "My Immortal" and "Bring me to Life". Their sorrowful songs saved my life. Their concert is most the memorizing. Amy Lee, the Lead singer, is truly talented.

Concert d'Evanescence et de Within Temptation tellement attendu depuis les décalages de dates de 2020. Mon avis est mitigé. Le spectacle était grandiose. Artistes au top! Effets visuels lumières et pyrotechniques incroyables. Mais quel intérêt de pousser le volume à saturation jusqu'à être contraint de mettre des bouchons d'oreilles!?
Pas d'écran donc artistes pas plus grands que le pouce sur la scène vus des gradins d'en face. Difficilement reconnaissables. Juste à leur voix et qu'elles voix!
Pas de duos des artistes. Sauf une intervention d'Amy sur un titre de Sharon...
J'espérais mieux, surtout depuis le temps qu'on attendait ça.
Mon avis perso: je préfère rester à la maison et regarder les concerts à la télé. Je vois mieux et je peux régler le volume sans m'exploser les tympans.

I wanted to share my VIP experience I had. Soundcheck VIP.
1) the early entry is always nice. I never spend much money because it's expensive. Crowd free shopping is always cool. Especially for the food lines. As for passing time, I always seem to meet and chat with other VIPs. Always friendly people.
8/10
2) Soundcheck was OK. I did have front row, so that made up for it. Other than the times the pit people got in my way. Then I had to keep standing. They only did two songs, and I remember last time I saw them I feel like they did at least 4. I read that some people got a whole show with lights and everything. We didn't.
8/10
3) There was no "moderated discussion" around their new album. I understand time constraints, but come on they only answered like 3 questions. They read them off a tablet. They did do mine as the last one so that's still cool. Emma said my name and I gotta say, her voice/accent is beautiful. They were about 3 rows in front of us. She told a couple dad jokes so that was funny.
8/10
4) There was no digital photo booth. Just some dumb selfie stand that did a photo with a cheap band logo banner. I didn't pay as much as I did to take a damn selfie. I can do that at home.
5/10
5) We were able to take photos and videos during the show but no upload right to social media. What was that about? I mean I uploaded my stuff later. And taking "photos and gifs". The hell does that mean? How do you take a gif?
8/10
6) The merchandise was pretty cool. Obviously the VIP laminate. A signed band print, a evanescence logo Keychain and a "Broken Pieces Shine" bracelet.
8/10
So all in all, a pretty good show. Other than no meet and greet. I still know for a fact when I bought my tickets it said meet and greet in the package details. I wish I had a screen shot. Note for the future. The COVID excuse is old. The two openers were cool though, and seeing Korn for the first time was nice. It would have been nice to spend like $100 or so less total for both tickets. I'm also celebrity crushing over Emma. I never saw her in person so it renews my love for Sick Puppies. I don't regret paying what I did, because my brother never saw evanescence live, and neither of us ever saw korn.

Wow!! Last night, I went to sleep in Tucson, AZ. Woke up this morning and went to work. Now, I am receiving push notifications and emails asking me to rate last night’s Evanescence concert in Denver, CO.
I am not at all surprised by this as I have watched Moon Knight. I completely forgot to tie my leg to the bed.
I just wanna thank Evanescence for putting on a incredible show! I know my other me absolutely loved and thanks other me for helping me get home in time for work!
10/10 would recommend
Denver, CO@Ball Arena
I've been to a few of their shows. Amy Lee is a professional. But this concert was a bit weaker. I was hoping I'll hear more of my favorite songs. The crowd was a but difficult and didn't have much energy (not Evanescence fault). One band member was missing and instead there was someone I never heard about. There wasn't much dynamic production-wise, the lights weren't great, sound was weird. At least the venue wasn't as hot as in 2012 when we've seen them at Incheba arena, but every other aspect was a bit worse. Times, pespectives and tastes change, but I think I'm being objective. I will go see them again when they come to Prague, but I hope for a bit more production value with nicer effects and sound and more hits, so the audience really gets pumped up and it's a great show that I know they can do!
