Evanescence remain one of the most recognizable names in early-2000s rock, led by vocalist and pianist Amy Lee and known for the crossover hit Bring Me to Life and the multi-platinum debut album Fallen.
Against this backdrop, Evanescence have brought their orchestral Synthesis concept to stages across Europe, headlining arenas and historic venues while performing reimagined versions of their catalog with a full orchestra.

Evanescence built the Synthesis tour around their 2017 album of the same name, a record that reworks songs from Fallen, The Open Door and

The Synthesis live shows are structured more like a classical concert than a standard rock gig, often running without a traditional support act and opening with instrumental arrangements before shifting into full-band performances.
Germany as a key stop for Evanescence
Germany has long been one of Evanescence’s strongest European markets, with the band’s albums consistently charting and the country’s audience responding to their blend of rock and symphonic elements.
Their live shows in Berlin and Munich echo this profile, drawing mixed crowds of early fans who discovered Fallen in the 2000s and younger listeners who found the band through streaming playlists and social media clips.
As a major touring destination, Germany offers large arena stages and established orchestral infrastructure, which fits the Synthesis concept and allows the full arrangement to be realized without compromise.
