Amy Lee, Courtney LaPlant and Poppy recently collaborated on the hit single “End of You”
Back in September, the unimaginable has happened – hard rock queens Amy Lee (Evanescence), Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox), and Poppy have joined forces for a song. They unleashed a collaborative tour de force titled “End of You.” Upon release, “End of You” was immediately met with widespread praise and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. They teamed up with Sumerian Records to release the track, which saw trio breaking the internet and bridging generational gaps.
Now, all three acts are taking the show on the road. Next summer, Evanescence is mounting a global headlining tour that will see Spiritbox and Poppy serve as special guests on select dates, along with support from Nova Twins and K.Flay. Back in June, Evanescence teamed up with K.Flay for the song “Fight Like a Girl” from the feature film Ballerina, an offshoot of the John Wick franchise.
Check out the full 2026 tour itinerary below.
A pre-sale for tickets and VIP packages starts tomorrow, December 2 at 10am local time, using the code: FIGHTLIKEAGIRL. General tickets go on sale this Friday, December 5 at 10am local time.
This isn’t uncharted territory for Evanescence leader Amy Lee. Back in may, she joined forces with Halsey for the song, “Hand That Feeds.” The track was a contribution to the soundtrack of the film Ballerina, a spinoff of the wildly successful John Wick franchise.
Delivering a number of dynamic rock hits over the last two decades, Evanescence recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their landmark debut album, Fallen, originally released in 2003. They recognized the milestone with a special anniversary edition of the smash album, which spawned gigantic rock hits like “Bring Me to Life,” “Going Under” and “My Immortal,” kickstarting a thriving career they’re still carrying out today.
Evanescence released their fifth album The Bitter Truth back in 2021 through BMG. The record produced five singles and peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums chart and the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.
Over the last few years, Amy Lee has collaborated with the likes of Lindsey Sterling, Body Count, Halestorm, and Bring Me The Horizon.
In 2023, she made a voice-acting cameo in the animated film Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar.
Back in October, Poppy shared a new single “Unravel.“ It was the two-time GRAMMY-nominee’s first new piece of material since the release of her acclaimed 2024 album Negative Spaces. It was followed by another new track “Bruised Sky,” both of which are from Poppy’s upcoming new album Empty Hands which arrives on January 23, 2026 via Sumerian Records. With each new release, she continuously cements herself as a boundary-pushing artist paving her own experimental metalcore lane. The tracks were produced and c0-written by Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon).
The accompanying “Unravel” visualizer captures Poppy as she comes face to face with a tornado in the distance. The video was directed by Sam Cannon, a longstanding collaborator who also directed the visualizers for Negative Spaces. The all-new “Unravel” and “Bruised Sky” singles follow her enigmatic cover of WHAM’s holiday favorite “Last Christmas,” released exclusively for Spotify.
Poppy is having a monumental year. Her collaboration with Knocked Loose – “Suffocate” – was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. She previously made history in 2021 as the first-ever female solo nominee in the category for her solo track “BLOODMONEY.” From performance art provocateur, to video director, to sci-fi graphic novel author, to a globe-traveling recording artist whose songbook encompasses anything from brutal metal breakdowns and snappy ‘60s bubblegum, to trap-pop and grunge-punk, absolutely nothing has been off-limits when it comes to Poppy masterfully executing her varied artistic vision.
After a successful spring run, Poppy recently wrapped up the second leg of her They’re All Around Us Tour with very special guests for the trek will be Dying Wish and MSpaint. An insatiably inventive drive has fueled Poppy’s surrealistic rise through countless corners of the arts and music worlds, with each of her many projects so far revealing a different glimpse of a true visionary unconcerned with genre, unimpressed by convention, and forever defying expectations. It’s that eclecticism that has cemented Poppy’s reputation as a boundary-obliterating artist redefining culture as we know it, at every turn.
From performance art provocateur, to video director, to sci-fi graphic novel author, to a globe-traveling recording artist whose songbook encompasses anything from brutal metal breakdowns and snappy ‘60s bubblegum, to trap-pop and grunge-punk, absolutely nothing has been off-limits when it comes to Poppy masterfully executing her varied artistic vision. Her 2021 GRAMMY nod for Best Metal Performance (“BLOODMONEY”) marked the first time a solo female artist had ever been nominated in the category. Her staggeringly chameleon-like adaptability has kept fans guessing what’s next every step of the way. And yet, each impressive and feverishly ambitious pivot manages to sound uniquely, and singularly “Poppy”.
Poppy’s 2024 was one of her most memorable years yet, where she toured with 30 Second to Mars and Avenged Sevenfold. It only got better, with the solo artist now vaulting deep into her next daring era with the release of her fifth multi-versal full-length, Negative Spaces. The album followed a pair of successful collaborations for Poppy: Bad Omens’ “V.A.N,” which climbed the Active Rock Radio charts and has entered the Top 15 at the format, and Knocked Loose’s “Suffocate,” which broke into the Top 10 on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA playlist. Her album track, “The Cost Of Giving Up,” is currently Top 20 on Mediabase’s Active Rock chart and No. 21 on Billboard Mainstream Rock. She played a fierce rendition of the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year.
The album continues the sonic adventurism of this spring’s diamond-radiant industrial anthem “new way out,” with Poppy and producer Jordan Fish (ex-Bring Me the Horizon) also mirror-balling through delicately-delivered pop (“yesterday”), full bodied screams (“have you had enough”), synth-symbiotic ‘80s retro-futurism (“crystallized”) and energy-jolted ‘00s pop-punk (“Negative Spaces”). It’s the thrilling sound of an ever-evolving artist redefining their legacy one song at a time, with a welcome understanding that there’s still so much inspiration to be found in the margins yet to be explored, deep within the negative spaces.
Spiritbox recently confirmed their new album, Tsunami Sea. The band’s sophomore LP is set for release on March 7, 2025 via Pale Chord in partnership with Rise Records. The album was produced by Dan Braunstein and Mike Stringer, mixed by Zakk Cervini, and mastered by Ted Jensen. Spiritbox have also revealed the album’s second single, “Perfect Soul,” alongside another one of their signature visually captivating music videos shot and directed by Dylan Hryciuk at Versa Films.
The all-new “Perfect Soul” offers a glimpse into the album’s melodic sound, balancing riffs and groove with ethereal atmospheres to create a listening experience that pulls listeners in like an incoming tide. The track’s haunting video, set in an abandoned oceanside hospital, follows an angelic Courtney LaPlante as she searches the afterlife, surrounded by ghostly figures and a grotesque, barnacle-covered creature. Interwoven with scenes of the band performing in decaying rooms, the visuals capture the song’s dark, poetic essence, drawing viewers further into Spiritbox’s evolving world.
The new single follows the band’s initial release from the album, “Soft Spine,” which received praise for its crushing intensity. These two releases demonstrate the band’s commitment to pushing their sound in new directions while staying anchored to their metal roots.
Spiritbox has capped off a landmark year with their second GRAMMY® nomination for Best Metal Performance for the 2025 Awards, this time for their powerhouse track “Cellar Door,” cementing their status as a driving force in modern metal. The band is up against contemporaries Gojira and Knocked Loose with Poppy, as well as metal legends Judas Priest and Metallica. Adding to this momentum, in October Spiritbox reunited with hip-hop icon Megan Thee Stallion for her MEGAN: ACT II deluxe album, adding their distinct edge to the song “TYG”.
For many artists, a meteoric rise can often mean a sudden plateau. However, for Grammy-nominated progressive heavy metal mainstays Spiritbox, there appears to be no end in sight on their near-constant ascent to the top. Formed in 2017 in the picturesque yet isolated region of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, by vocalist Courtney Laplante and guitarist Mike Stringer, Spiritbox would fully cement themselves as a household name in the summer of 2020 with the release of their blistering breakout single “Holy Roller,” along with a host of other captivating singles shortly after, resulting in a media firestorm of hype.
With new and existing fans eagerly watching their next move, Spiritbox exceeded every expectation imaginable in 2021 with the release of their genre-defining debut studio album Eternal Blue via Pale Chord/Rise Records. Eternal Blue, which debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, kicked open the doors of the heavy metal scene and rewrote the genre’s playbook with 12 stunning tracks that incorporated everything from djent and post-metal to infectious synth-laden pop sensibilities and cinematic arrangements, brought fully to life by the inimitable Laplante’s ethereal and commanding vocal performances.
The album cycle for Eternal Blue saw Spirtbox solidify themselves as one of the most in-demand groups in live music today with their one-hundred percent sold out, first-ever headlining tour in support of the album which saw ticket sales over 40,000. The band would also share the stage with seasoned metal veterans such as Limp Bizkit and Ghost and win Best International Breakthrough Band at the 2021 Heavy Music Awards.
In 2022, Spiritbox secured highly-coveted spots at numerous major US rock and metal festivals and were nominated for two JUNO awards, respectively. Spiritbox would also round out their current lineup with the inclusion of drummer Zev Rose and bassist Josh Gilbert in addition to releasing their sonically experimental EP Rotoscope in June of that year as well as a cross-genre collaboration with dubstep artist Illenium for the track “Shivering.”
During another whirlwind year for the band, including a US tour with Shinedown and Papa Roach, Spiritbox wrote and recorded their critically acclaimed EP, The Fear of Fear, released in November 2023. The EP features the single “Jaded,” which was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. In the same month, the band would make another genre-bending splash with a high-profile collaboration with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for a remix of her song “Cobra.”
