GRAMMY® Award-winning rock band Evanescence releases the official music video for their powerful new song “Who Will You Follow” — listen here/watch here. Directed by Jensen Noen, the cinematic visual pairs thought-provoking imagery with an emotionally charged performance to explore the overwhelming impact of technology, misinformation, and digital culture, examining how constant online noise impacts us all. Both the lyrics and accompanying video emphasize the importance of seeking authenticity in an era where truth feels increasingly and intentionally corrupted.
“Who Will You Follow” has already become the fastest-moving rock radio single of Evanescence’s career to date, entering the Top at US Rock Radio in under 4 weeks and earning the band its first-ever #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Song Chart. The track serves as a preview for their upcoming album Sanctuary, set for release June 5 — pre-save here/pre-order here.
The album, which features tracks produced by Zakk Cervini & Jordan Fish, alongside songs produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Korn, Foo Fighters, Rush), will be available June 5th as a Digital Album, Standard CD, Deluxe CD/Blu-Ray and limited-edition Box Set. A double vinyl of the album will be released on September 4th. Last week, the band also launched direct-to-consumer pre-orders featuring exclusive deluxe CDs and vinyl only available through the Evanescence webstore — find here. The deluxe CD includes a Blu-ray featuring a concert film from the band’s biggest-ever headline show, Live in São Paulo, a documentary chronicling Evanescence’s 2023 South America tour, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “Who Will You Follow” video.
The band will kick off their 2026 World Tour in West Palm Beach, FL on June 11, journeying across North America, UK and Europe — tickets here. Special guest Spiritbox and Nova Twins will open on the North American portion of the tour, and special guest Poppy will support on the UK & Europe shows with Nova Twins opening outside the UK. K.Flay, who features on Evanescence’s end title song from Ballerina, “Fight Like A Girl,” will open the UK shows. Evanescence has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1/£1/€1 from every ticket sold will support organizations providing humanitarian aid and medical relief to those in need around the world. Additionally, Head Count, a non-profit/non-partisan entity will be on site at most of the band’s US concerts to register new voters and to instruct previously-registered voters how to check their registration status to ensure it is still valid.
