Live Gallery: Evanescence Strip It Back in a Rare, Intimate Sydney Show at The Metro Theatre 14.11.2025
At the Metro Theatre, Evanescence trade stadium grandeur for something far more revealing. On the eve of supporting Metallica at Acer Arena, the band deliver a taut, emotionally charged set that strips their gothic-metal hybrid down to its core—Amy Lee’s voice, the band’s shifting dynamics, and the enduring volatility of their two-decade catalogue.

Live Review: No Cigar and the Art of Outgrowing The Room You’re Standing In – Eora Land/Sydney, 29.10.25
You could tell before the doors even opened that it was going to be a tight squeeze. Both Lansdowne shows had sold out, the first so quickly that a second was added, only for that one to disappear too.
