Disturbed Announces 25th Anniversary Tour for ‘The Sickness’
Multi-platinum rock band Disturbed has unveiled its highly anticipated “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour.” This expansive 34-date tour is set to commence in Nampa, Idaho on February 25, 2025, with production led by Live Nation. The tour marks a significant milestone as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the band’s iconic debut album, “The Sickness,” which is widely regarded as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time.
The performances at each venue will include two distinct sets of music. The first set will see Disturbed performing the entire “The Sickness” album, certified five times platinum by the RIAA, while the second set will encompass the band’s greatest hits. The tour’s initial phase features support acts Three Days Grace, featuring the return of original singer Adam Gontier, with Sevendust as the opening act. The latter half of the tour will see Daughtry and the opener Nothing More joining Disturbed on stage.
Ticket sales and VIP packages will start with an artist pre-sale at 10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, October 15. Fans have the opportunity to pre-register for pre-sale access via disturbed.live. Additional pre-sales will continue throughout the week ahead of the general sale on Friday, October 18, also beginning at 10 a.m. local time, accessible at disturbed1.com/tour. Dates for European performances are expected to be announced soon.
Since its release in 2000, “The Sickness” has remained a staple in the rock music landscape. The album spent a remarkable 106 weeks on the US Billboard 200 chart. It has also been featured in Revolver‘s “Top 25 Debut Hard Rock Albums.” The title track, “Down With The Sickness,” has been particularly noted by Billboard for its distinctive tribal beat and guitar rhythms, becoming a quintessential addition to Disturbed’s discography.
Disturbed emerged from Chicago at the turn of the century, garnering a reputation for its relentless style and commanding stage presence. The band’s journey through hard rock has been marked by a succession of award-winning albums, over 17 million units sold worldwide, and approximately 8 billion streams. Their success continues with numerous singles reaching the top ten of the Mainstream Rock chart.
The Quartet, nominated for two Grammy Awards, achieved five consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with albums such as “Believe,” “Ten Thousand Fists,” and “Indestructible.” They share this distinction with Metallica as the only hard rock bands to achieve such a feat. Disturbed’s extensive catalog includes multi-platinum hits like “Stupify,” “Inside The Fire,” “Land of Confusion,” “Stricken,” “Down With The Sickness,” and the critically acclaimed “The Sound Of Silence,” which earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Rock Performance.”
As the band tirelessly pushes forward, their recent album, “Divisive” (2022), continued to dominate the airwaves with hits like “Hey You” and “Unstoppable,” further cementing their status at the forefront of the rock genre.
