Evanescence to Host Global Pre-Release Listening Party and Fan Q&A Ahead of Sanctuary Release
June 3 event on Volume.com will give fans an early listen to the band's upcoming album before its official release
Evanescence is inviting fans around the world to experience the release of its upcoming album, Sanctuary, through a global pre-release listening party and live Q&A event on June 3.
The virtual event will give fans the opportunity to hear the album together ahead of its official release on June 5, while also participating in a live conversation with the band about the stories, inspirations, and creative process behind the new music.
At a time when most new releases are discovered individually through streaming platforms and algorithm-driven feeds, the event aims to create a shared listening experience that brings fans together in real time. Attendees will be able to react alongside fellow listeners and hear directly from the band as they discuss the making of Sanctuary.
The event is being hosted in partnership with Volume.com, a livestreaming platform designed for music-driven community experiences. The collaboration highlights a growing trend among artists seeking to create more interactive album release moments that deepen fan engagement while supporting key objectives such as album pre-saves, direct-to-consumer sales, merchandise, and tour awareness.
For Evanescence, the listening party represents an opportunity to transform a traditional album rollout into a live, communal event centered around the music and the fans who support it.
Fans can reserve a free ticket for the June 3 livestream and learn more at https://volume.com/evanescence/.
Sanctuary is available for preorder now ahead of its June 5, 2026 release. Fans can also presave the album on streaming platforms and watch the official music video for the band's latest single, "Who Will You Follow."
