It’s been a looooong time coming, but finally Evanescene and Within Temptation’s Worlds Collide co-headline tour hit London’s The O2 last night – and it was absolutely incredible.
Unbelievably, it’s been over three years since Evanescence and Within Temptation announced that they would be joining forces for a co-headline tour.
Of course, we all know the reason for the delays, but at long last their Worlds Collide tour finally hit London’s massive The O2 last night (November 14), and it was more than worth the wait. From the production to the setlists the two bands were a match made in heaven – as Amy Lee predicted when we interviewed her and Sharon den Adel about the tour in 2019…
“We feel like we have our two separate worlds, separate lives across the ocean, but in a lot of ways there are some major similarities,” the singer said. “And to be able to bring these two worlds together for the first time just seems like a perfect match for both of us. Obviously there are differences, but you want that. You want contrast in the show but it’s cool to be able to see the similarities and embrace those, too.”
“We’ve played big shows and venues in some countries, but to do a whole tour like this is something new,” explained Sharon. “And with the two bands, we’re in the same scene and we have some similarities. We also have some differences in the music, of course, but I think the combination makes this tour really strong.”
