The first time members of both bands met was at an Evanescence concert in 2018, which led Amy Lee to dig deeper into Within Temptation songs.

[11][12] A few weeks later, both bands posted teaser clips on their respective social medias regarding an undisclosed project, creating some buzz for a possible tour or musical collaboration.

[2][9] The two bands developing a good personal relationship was another element that led to the conception of the tour, as Lee pointed that her and Den Adel "instantly connected" the first time they met.

Within Temptation also lamented the postponement necessity, but stated that "although we can't make the current situation better than it is, we hope to put a big smile on your faces again soon", also asking the fans to stay safe.

[15] Nearly one month before the tour was set to start on the third rescheduled dates, it had to be postponed once more as the pandemic safety measures had been having different lifting degrees on each country, with some of them not allowing the occurrence of crowded events still.

During the song "Angels", lead vocalist Sharon den Adel sang atop of the sculpture, lifted by an elevator,[20] with flaming wings projected behind her.

[22] During certain moments of the concert, a grand piano emerged from the floor at the center of the stage, on which Amy Lee sat and played songs such as "Far From Heaven" and "My Immortal".

Writing for Metal Hammer, Rich Hobson praised the performance of both Evanescence and Within Temptation on their passage through Birmingham, giving the concerts a score of 4.5 stars out of 5.

The first praised Lee's voice, stage presence, and commented that "Evanescence proved a perfect exercise in classy, majestic heaviness".

Commenting on Evanescence, he commended Lee's performance of "My Immortal" and "Far from Heaven" on the piano, as well as stating that the singer "appeared like a metal goddess on "Broken Pieces Shine"".

He commented that Within Temptation's concert as a whole was illustrative of why the band have been pioneers in their genre since their beginnings, having transcended the borders of the Netherlands and toured large venues around the world with names such as Evanescence's.
