Ongoing restrictions related to COVID-19 pandemic pushed back another highly anticipated tour. This time Evanescence and Within Temptation had to make the decision to postpone their ‘Worlds Collide’ Tour until Spring 2022.
In a press release Evanescence said: “Well guys, we have to push this back one more time. We hate to make you wait longer but we are absolutely determined to make this tour we’ve all been looking forward to happening, so check out new dates. We will be counting the days till we finally get to celebrate all this new music together. In the meantime, stay safe, stay sane, and keep your headbanging to The Bitter Truth! You will have no excuse not to know every word by next spring! We love you!”.
Within Temptation added in their statement: “This is not what we’ve wished for, but reality tells us otherwise: we have to postpone the Worlds Collide Tour. Although we can’t make the current situation better than it is, we hope to put a BIG smile on your faces again soon, because… We haven’t been sitting still and we have a LOT of cool stuff coming up for you! Until then, stay safe. And you know what? Third time’s a charm, so see you in March or April 2022!”.

Both bands kept themselves busy during lockdown. Evanescence released their fifth studio album and “first album of original music in a decade ‘The Bitter Truth’.” The album came out in March last year and reached No.4 in UK Charts and No.1 on iTunes in 22 countries. They also collaborated recently with Heavy Metal Entertainment with whom they will launch a graphic anthology series baked on ‘The Bitter Truth‘ cuts, called ‘Echoes From The Void’. More about it can be found in last month’s MXDWN article here.
Within Temptation also released new music during quarantine. The band’s two new singles ‘Entertain You’ and ‘The Purge’ came out last year and peaked in Top 20 of Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator Chart.
‘Worlds Collide’ Tour will start on 16th March 2022 in Germany and finish on 14th April in Switzerland.
