Carnival of Madness 2012 promotional poster.

Carnival of Madness is an annual hard rock/alternative rock tour founded in 2010. The festival has a Carnival theme and a family friendly atmosphere. Artist and band signings, give away's, circus performers, fire breathers, and more are also part of the show's activities.

Evanescence announced on May 18, 2012 that they would be taking part in 2012's Carnival of Madness tour in the United States, along with Chevelle, Halestorm, New Medicine and Cavo.

Amy Lee said:

We're really looking forward to the Carnival of Madness tour this summer. We love Chevelle and haven't hit the road together in years, and I'm really stoked to finally be playing some shows with Halestorm. Naturally, I'm a fan of strong women in music and Lzzy's voice is spectacular.

Ticket pre-sales began on May 22nd, with radio pre-sale tickets available first, Carnival of Madness fan club pre-sale on May 23rd, EvClub pre-sale on May 24th and general public sale on June 1st.

The tour began on July 31st in Springfield, Illinois and spanned 24 dates before concluding on September 5th in Evansville, Indiana. Evanescence's set at the Toyota Park in Chicago, Illinois on August 26th was cancelled due to severe rain.
