The tour is set to open on Aug. 4 in Los Angeles, and will visit 25 markets including Phoenix, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit, according to the event's official website.

Each Nintendo Fusion concert location "will feature a unique gaming experience with a host of Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance games, ranging from first-person adventures to retro favorites," a press release said.

The tour's full itinerary is still being finalized, and will be announced soon.

Evanescence's album "Fallen" peaked at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 album chart, and currently sits at No. 11. Its single "Bring Me to Life," which features singer Paul McCoy, currently sits at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 40 Tracks chart.

Revis' album "Places for Breathing" sits at No. 8 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Finger Eleven sent a new, self-titled collection to stores on June 17.
