Evanescence have announced a tour of the US which will take place later this year.

The run of 10 spring dates will see the band revert back to their traditional rock lineup after previously touring with an orchestra on their Synthesis Live series of concerts.

The shows will kick off with a set at Jacksonville’s Welcome To Rockville on May 3 and conclude with performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville on May 19.

Following the spring shows, Amy Lee, Tim McCord, Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn and Jen Majura will play shows at Rock Fest and the Impact Festival on July 18 and 28 respectively.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale from 10am local time this coming Friday (February 8).

Vocalist Lee recently spoke with Metal Hammer to reveal the albums that changed her life, which included records by Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie and Smashing Pumpkins.
