Last night, American Rock band Evanescence brought their signature sound to Montreal’s Centre Bell, delivering a powerful and dynamic set that left fans frenzied and seeped in nostalgia.
The band, currently on the Evanescence + Halestorm 2024 tour, performed a mix of fan favorites and deeper cuts, showcasing the range and intensity that has defined their career.
Evanescence, which means “disappearance” or “fading away” (from the word evanesce, which means “to disappear”), was decided upon by the band’s two founding members : former guitarist Ben Moody and Amy Lee, the band’s iconic frontwoman, who was her charming self throughout the evening, interacting with the audience and reminding them to stay true to themselves and not let anyone change who they are.
Her passionate messages resonated with the crowd, adding a personal touch to an already emotional night.
Preceeded by local band The Warning : 7:00– 7:30 PM and Halestorm : 8:00 – 9:00 pm, the headliners entered the stage with a setlist that included tracks such as “Artifact/The Turn,” “Broken Pieces Shine,” “Going Under,” and “Call Me When You’re Sober.”
Throughout the performance, Amy had several brilliant solo piano moments that highlighted her musical prowess. Her energy was infectious as she performed alongside her bandmates (Tim McCord, Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn and Emma Anzai), with each song building on the last to create a memorable concert experience.
Midway through the show, a video montage played on the big screen, recapping the band’s past 20 years of touring highlights, offering a nostalgic glimpse into Evanescence’s journey over the years.
