I have to say how impressed I am with Within Temptation this tour. It looks like they worked to put together something really special. I hate to be a negative nelly, but I am incredibly disappointed in Evanescence here. This tour was years in the making with fans going through multiple reschedules. They hyped this as something big, but they couldn't even give this its own set? Fans were hoping for a collab or something special as this is a 'dream come true' tour and we get a recycled set with a couple of song changes. I have loved this band for years, but never have I seen such a lazy effort. I don't know if my expectations were set too high but I am glad I ate the cost of my tickets and didn't spend the money to travel to Munich for the show. I do hope everyone who attends the shows has a blast, and I know the band will put on a high energy show, but I can't help how I'm feeling with this. Edit: Even with the addition of Sharon and Deena singing backing vocals on Use My Voice, I still stand by my words. The change feels like a reactive choice stemming from the feedback of disappointed fans on social media. For me, this doesn't make up for using virtually the same set for three tours in a row and I still feel let down after how this tour was hyped. It also probably doesn't help that I can't listen to UMV without getting a gross cringe feeling from the lyrics, but I guess whether we like it or not, we're gonna take what they've got. (I cringed at that pun about about as much as I cringe at the actual song lol.)

I'm stoked for the 21st and 22nd Nov for the shows in Belgium! I'm really hoping to see Part Of Me (in full) and Feeding the Dark live. Take cover would be nice as well :-D I don't mind the fact that they still perform some olden goldies but a freshup would be nice (Cloud Nine or Whisper? Even In Death?)
Can't wait!! Also curious about WT, haven't seen them live yet. Not my favourite band, but they have lots of enjoyable songs and a strong live reputation. #partyyyy

In the end, the worlds didn't collide - pun intended -, meaning they didn't duet. Perhaps they will eventually do it.
I was hoping a big production from Ev, but WT nailed it. However, Ev kept the same stage production from the previous TBT tours.

I just find it so odd that there’s been nothing together (except Sharon singing backing vocals on Use My Voice). Especially since Within Temptation have a song that they pretty much always do as a duet (and clearly love duets, look at their past few albums) and Amy at this point is well known for doing duets with bands they tour with - Korn, Halestorm just to name a couple off the top of my head. They even named the tour “Worlds Collide”! So for them to decidedly not collide, after so much time to make a plan if they were going to do it, feels so strange and a massive opportunity wasted.
Having said that, both bands are sounding great from what I’m hearing, so at least there’s that.

Having said that, both bands are sounding great from what I’m hearing, so at least there’s that. I think there is some internal problem. Mainly due to the increase in Covid cases in Europe, Evanescence canceled all M&G and Within Temptation did not. Amy must take this social distancing issue very seriously, seeing the spikes in cases and the other band seeming like they don't care too much about it. Mainly with leaks of conversations of a certain ex-member with fans, sharing confidential information about other members, concerts and personal health. I already told several friends, there is some internal problem for the bands no to make an effort to be together. For me this tour has been the most boring, I can't wait for it to end. 3 years waiting for something great, for in the end none of the "worlds collided". There is some internal problem, Amy would not be. Although Sharon on tour with Iron Maiden also had no moment with the Iron Maiden members, no photos, no feat or anything, so it could just be a choice of both bands or they are there just to fulfill the contract. But that there is a problem, my intuition says yes.

Oh my god y'all. Oh my god I saw Ev live. Whatislifeomg. I met AlessEv and Rarkphoenix so that was SUPER EXCITE YAY we went to the London show. It was kind of amazing. I really love both bands(you could say equally) and I got to finally see both, in the same show. Double win. :') I know people were unhappy with the Ev set and love the WT set but to be honest I found it to be almost the opposite - Ev's set looks smaller on pictures but live is actually really impressive, and WT's looks huge and very out there on pictures and live it's not as big and scary(I may be biased cause I'm scared of pyrotechnics and this wasn't bad at all) We were there for soundcheck and they played Lacrymosa, Amy said they planned to have it on the setlist but it went over time by a few minutes(makes sense, because the first show in Munich was late and they played Lacrymosa then) so they had to sacrifice a song and it was Lacry, but we got to see it and it was amazing and the lighting/set was actually reaaaally cool for it. The lights went with the strings <3 (and the next day in Birmingham they skipped Wasted on You and played Lacrymosa instead, so I think they really do want it on the setlist) We could hear Amy had a but of a voice thing going on at soundcheck and then when Within Temptation were playing(they played first) Sharon said she has a bad cold and that she'll try to push through the show(which btw she did amazingly well, I love her voice so much <3) but Amy pushed through too and they both sounded really good in the end. I think my faves live were Your Star and End of The Dream <3 the birds and silhouette Amy was soooo cool. And of course the build up of Your Star. The show was on Monday and my back still hurts and I still can't turn my head properly xD so, it was a really really amazing show. I loved every minute of it. We may not have gotten a collab but I'm just happy that I was there, got to meet my friendos and that we all had a good time. And that I FINALLY saw my bands live :') never missing their show again.

from the twtter news, i feel that the fans who been there are pretty stoked and amazed!! i love all the new photos. prince said on Tw that the triangle stage design was actually developed exclusively for the worlds collide AT FIRST, but no one knew what will happen in 2020. which makes sense. i dont know, it looks fantastic, both bands are super dedicated, don't really know why people's expectations are hurt...
I wish i could financially make this too - but it would meant a show + accomodations in another country and that's bigger than me rn so i live through the news at least <3

That’s more what I was expecting (though definitely not the song)! That’s pretty cool.
