Nearly three years have passed since Alice Cooper and Motley Crue wrapped up their respective farewell tours, but another rocker is gearing up to bid adieu to the road, Muse and Evanescence. Muse is reportedly wrapping up the North American leg of its recently announced World Tour in May, and Evanescence is ending its tour in March 2019.
Even though both bands are celebrating their 30th anniversaries, their upcoming tours could easily pass as their last, which gives fans plenty of time to catch them on tour in 2023.
While both bands have sold millions of albums worldwide and have toured with some of the biggest acts in the music industry, this may very well be their final tours.
Here are four reasons why you should see Muse and Evanescence on tour in 2023.
-
Muse and Evanescence will likely have the last of their tours.
Since the bands are both celebrating their 30th anniversaries, this may very well be their last tour. It’s unlikely that Muse and Evanescence will tour together in the future, and that’s a shame.Check out there Check out there Both bands have sold millions of albums around the world. Muse has gone platinum in 15 different countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Evanescence has scored seven platinum certifications in the United States and United Kingdom.
Muse’s Matt Bellamy has been touring with his other band, the Falcon, since 2015. He is likely pursuing other projects, such as taking care of his granddaughter.
Muse is a particularly interesting band to see. It’s not a group that requires a huge production, and that alone sets them apart. Besides the LED display used to represent the band’s name during the song “Knights of Cydonia,” it’s a relatively simple show, with lighting equipment only used during the high points of the show.
That said, the band does have all the bells and whistles that fans would expect from any other arena-rock band. There’s pyrotechnics, fireworks, synchronized lasers and a giant dragon wrapped around the entire stage.

Muse and Evanescence are both underrated pop rock bands.
They’re both rock bands, but they make music that is different from the most popular bands in the world. While most of the bands that tour today are performing songs from the last 20 years, Muse and Evanescence have been churning out the same type of music for nearly three decades.
Muse is known for the 2000 album “Absolution,” which featured hit songs “Dig Down” and “Knights of Cydonia.” Bellamy’s voice has also developed into one of the most recognizable voices in the rock genre.
Evanescence was a band with major mainstream success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band’s debut album, “Fallen,” was released in 2003. “The Open Door” followed in 2005, and “The Open Door 2: Evolve” was released in 2009. Their seventh and most recent album, “Synthesis,” was released in 2013
The last single off of “Synthesis” is “Never Enough,” which features a controversial lyric. A line in the song states, “If I can’t have you, then you’ll have to be like me.” This line generated a lot of controversy when it was released in 2013. The song quickly became a mainstream hit and earned the band a Grammy nomination. The new tour will feature the song.
-
Muse is an underrated guitarist and songwriter.
Guitarist Matt Bellamy has composed many of the band’s hit songs, including “Cupid’s Chokehold” and “Uprising.” But Bellamy is equally well-known for his solo work.
His solo albums have received good reviews, and his guitar work has often been highlighted in his solo recordings. This tour is the perfect opportunity to see his solo work for the first time.

Both Muse and Evanescence are on great terms.
Evanescence went through an ugly legal battle in 2009, with its lead singer, Amy Lee, suing the group’s former manager for fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. In 2013, Lee was awarded $5.4 million for the way that she was treated by the company.
The fallout from that messy incident doesn’t appear to have affected the
Evanescence and Muse will be joining forces in America in the spring of 2023.
The albums by both bands will be remixed to include various elements of each band’s music.
They will also be touring together across the US as well as Canada and Mexico, with dates to
be announced.
The tracklisting for the project is:

Evanescence say: “Evanescence and Muse are two extraordinary bands from two remarkable
times. Working together for the first time, we’ve found a common thread in our mutual love of
music and self-expression.
“We’re both loud and opinionated, but we share a passion for music and art that has shaped us
into who we are today. As the daughters of two remarkable, respected and pioneering mothers,
both of whom worked tirelessly to inspire us, we are incredibly honoured to work alongside
Muse as part of a tour celebrating the creative legacy of our mothers and the incredible women
who inspire us today.”
Evanescence released their latest album and follow-up to Fallen last year.
Meanwhile, Muse have been nominated for Best Live Act and Best Rock Group at this year’s
NME Awards 2018.
They will face off against Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age for the
awards.
The winners will be announced on February 15 at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.Muse will
release new album Drones in March.
