At all of their recent gigs, Amy Lee and co. have been breaking out ‘End Of You’ – the 2025 collaborative track between LaPlante and Poppy – live; however, it was only at the London venue that the band brought out the two artists to play it live for the first time.
The rendition came towards the end of the set, following Evanescence breaking out tracks like ‘Sanctuary’, ‘Tell Me When You’ve Had Enough’, ‘Afterlife’, ‘Rapture’, ‘Going Under’ and ‘Fight Like a Girl’ with K.Flay’.

While the two of them belted out the track at the front of the stage, LaPlante emerged from the back of the stage shortly after, helping wrap up the single.
The surprise appearance of Poppy comes as she has been opening for the rock giants on their current run of European and UK shows, and the on-stage collaboration with LaPlante comes as Spiritbox have been opening for them in the US.
After the performance of ‘End Of You’, Evanescence wrapped the show up with performances of ‘Who Will You Follow’, ‘My Immortal’ and ‘Wide Open Heart’.
