For Evanescence, much of the last five months has been spent performing live gigs and promoting The Open Door, the band's sophomore release. Amy Lee's posse performed for thousands across the U.S. before crossing the pond to tour Europe, and
Their world tour just got a lot longer: On Friday afternoon, the band released dates for the second leg of the North American trek — and said a third leg will be announced soon, which will carry the group into the early summer (see "Evanescence Live In NYC: Amy Lee Headbangs, Serenades Her 'New Hometown' " and "Evanescence Set For Fall Tour; Amy Lee Reveals Inspiration Behind 'Sober' "). So far, Evanescence has scheduled 14 U.S. gigs, beginning on March 16 in Fresno, California. Tickets for all of the shows on this leg — which includes a March 25 stop in the band's hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas — will go on sale January 27. The Open Door has sold nearly 1.5 million copies since its release in late September (see "Evanescence Butcher The Killers In Battle For Billboard #1"), and earlier this month, Lee announced that she's gotten engaged to her boyfriend of more than a year, a psychiatrist named Josh (his last name has not been disclosed). Joining Evanescence for this upcoming run of arenas will be Chevelle and labelmates Finger Eleven. Chevelle will release Vena Sera, their fifth studio LP, April 3; Finger Eleven will issue Them vs. You vs. Me on March 6.
