At first glance, one of the most iconic '90s rock bands and an innovative genre-defying violinist seem quite the odd couple for a joint tour. But then you hear Evanescence and Lindsey Stirling collaborate on the track "Hi-Lo" from Evanescence's 2017 album Synthesis, and suddenly you want to hear more. Lucky for you, the two artists are headed out on a joint co-headlining tour this summer.

Amy Lee & Co. and Stirling will kick off their 31-date trek through North America on July 6 in Kansas City, Mo. They'll conquer amphitheaters in other cities, including Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Charlotte, N.C., Toronto, Atlanta, Tampa, Fla., New Orleans, and Phoenix, before wrapping up in Ridgefield, Wash., on Sept. 8.
Sweetening the bill even more, both artists will be accompanied by a full orchestra for their respective sets.
