“They let me put a grand piano on the snake pit”: What’s it like supporting Metallica in stadiums? Evanescence’s Amy Lee calls it “so fun”

Evanescence in 2026 and Metallica in 2026.

Evanescence’s Amy Lee says it was “so fun” supporting Metallica on the Australia and New Zealand leg of the San Francisco titans’ three-year-long M72 world tour.

Lee’s Arkansas band played their six shows stadium with Metallica and openers Suicidal Tendencies in November 2025. The singer calls the headliners “so gracious”, even letting her bring her grand piano onstage for the entirety of her five-piece’s hour-long sets.
