In a recent interview with Exclaim!, EVANESCENCE frontwoman Amy Lee stated about the current tour: "This is our new album tour; that's the whole point of the tour. I want to create this 'Sanctuary' world. I don't want to give that away, but we'll be playing almost the whole new album plus lots of other songs, so we're just finding a way to make it all work together and be one big, giant, gorgeous thing."
She added: "It's crazy and chaotic and I'm going a million miles an hour, but I'm inspired. As ideas come, I'm just throwing them at the amazing team we have working on all of this and creating a really special show like we've never done before."
In a separate interview with ABC Audio, Amy said that fans attending the trek can expect "the biggest show we've ever had."
"It's a lot of fun, it's a lot of work," Lee said. "We have a lot of new songs to learn. We're playing pretty much the whole new album, along with lots of other songs. It's gonna be probably our longest set."
Lee went on to say that her main goal with the tour is to "make people happy."
"I wanna bring some good to this time," Amy explained. "Give people a place of release, to fill up, to charge up, spiritually, emotionally, and feel empowered when they walk away."
"We're just trying to make something really good," she added. "I think we are. I'm very excited."
