This Saturday, Grammy-award winning Goth rockers Evanescence will visit the D.C-Metro area to play their second-to-last show on a national tour. Evanescence will take the stage at DAR Constitution Hall on Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. to perform songs from their four-time Platinum album, Fallen. Released in March 2003, Fallen features the Billboard hits Going Under, My Immortal, and Bring Me to Life.
On Jan. 8, the band kicked off a brief three-continent tour in New Zealand, before retuning to the U.S. for a Los Angeles show on Feb. 11. Just three days prior to the start of their US tour, the members of Evanescence were honored as the recipients of the Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance awards at the 46th annual Grammy Awards.
This marks the fourth set of tour dates the band has played since Fallen's release nearly a year ago, attesting to Evanescence's rapidly-growing popularity. According to MTV News, band members will head back to the studio upon completion of the tour to record a follow-up album.
Rock bands Default and Atomship will support Evanescence on the U.S. tour dates. Atomship, who shares the Wind-Up Records label with Evanescence, recently released their debut album, The Crash of '47. This album was recorded under the direction of Evanescence's producer, Dave Fortman, and offers a sound that appeals to many Evanescence fans.
Tickets to this Saturday's show are $40, and may be purchased through Ticketmaster, http://www.ticketmaster.com. For more information on the band itself, visit their official site at http://www.evanescence.com.
