Summer Tour 2018

**Summer Tour 2018** is a concert tour by Lindsey Stirling, co-headlining with American rock band Evanescence. It is done completely in North America.

## Background

The tour was teased on a YouTube video where Lindsey is asked whether she likes Evanescence. She responds that she is a "casual fan", describes how she "idolized" the band's lead singer Amy Lee, and how Lindsey was able to write a song with her. She is then interrupted by a text from Amy Lee reading "What are you doing this summer?".

The tour and tour dates were officially announced the next day via a Tweet and that they would be accompanied by a full orchestra. Tickets were on sale for the tour on March 9, 2018.

Lindsey and Amy Lee did a Facebook livestream on the tour on April 30, 2018.
